Grandma and Grandpa visit

Once they dug themselves out of the snow and actually got to Houston, we had a great time with grandma and grandpa. The rodeo is a big deal down here- sort of like a state fair. I'd never been, so we went. It was an experience. Ask me about the pig races and mutton busting some time.

Megan's favorite was the petting zoo and pony ride.

Despite her expression, she really was having a good time. The other day on the way home from school she was talking about it. "ride horsey, OK." (When she says OK that means she's asking if we can do something and answering yes for me.) She was quite upset when we got home and there was no horsey for her to ride.

The weather was good for most of the week, and Megan got to spend alot of time outside with grandma and grandpa. Megan loves her new baby pool.

Megan's friend Cannon traded toys with her and walked all around the block with us. Just don't tell Cannon's daddy.We sponge painted eggs. I highly recommend sponging eggs for Katie and Lisa next year. Megan could actually decorate them herself this way.

The wildlife refuge was very "winny" (windy in Megan speak). Grandma, Grandpa, and Megan enjoyed looking at the birds.

Daddy just got eaten alive by mosquitos.It was a good last day before grandma and grandpa had to go home. Ok the following are just random bits of cuteness from the past couple of months when I wasn't posing regularly.

Halmuhni and Halabuhji Visit

OK OK I know its been forever since I updated the blog. I've been crazy busy with flying to DC twice, job hunting, house hunting etc. The good news is David and I both have jobs and we have a place to live next year.

While I was away the first time David's parents visited. I was sorry I didn't get to see them very much. Here are some pictures from their visit.

"Sing, sing a song, sing out loud...."

Having grandparents around always means more trips to the park, YEAH!

"Stop taking pictures and push the swing already," says Megan

Finally, swininging.

Ok, this is a scream of joy not terror.... really.

Megan loves to climb on the "rope bridge" which is actually metal, but still bounces. Some of the 2 and 3 year olds still won't walk on it because it moves, but Megan likes to get in the middle and bounce up and down on purpose.

These days, Megan can really make that Zebra BOUNCE.

While I was away the family took a trip to the zoo. They tell me that Megan was very cute making monkey sounds. The Giraffes were another favorite.
