Some good friends from the Houston area, Jeremy and Emily, moved to Nederland (on the east side of the state) a few months ago. They invited us to spend this past weekend with them. We enjoyed touring their new, beautiful home, catching up on what's happening in each other's lives, and letting the kids play together. Plus, Emily made us AMAZING food the whole weekend! Yum! :)
Ian was thrilled to be able to try out Annie's third birthday present -- a Barbie Jeep. He didn't quite get the hang of steering and mainly did doughnuts around their cul-de-sac, but he thought it was AWESOME!
The neighbor girl was even brave enough to come for a ride with Ian!
Ian was obsessed with "baby Ella," who at the age of 16-17 months isn't so much of a baby anymore. :) Ever since Ian has learned of the baby growing in Momma's tummy, he is fascinated by "babies" of all ages. He loved trying to hold and take care of Ella, and she was certainly a good sport.
Annie, Ella, and Ian enjoyed watching Cars 2 together in their PJs.
After church and a yummy lunch, Ian wanted to help push baby Ella in her Cozy Coupe.
Then, we took a walk down to the neighborhood "lake."
What a fun weekend! Thanks for your hospitality, Jeremy and Emily! :)
'Tis the season for garage saling and "bag sales" in Houston! We've hit the jackpot these last few weekends. Here are some 4T/5T winter clothes that Ian will hopefully be able to wear this winter and some baby toys and clothes for our little nephews (due in June).
Some maternity clothes for sister-in-law Sarah ...
... and some more maternity clothes and baby clothes for sister Amy and twin nephews! (The clothes in the two above pictures cost a total of $25!!! Yippee!)
Some baby things (diapers, one of those cool baby food holder/spoon combos, car mirror, ball popper) and some fun new toys and puzzles for Ian!
Daddy took Ian for his first-ever fishing "trip." (A kind co-worker of Matt, Marilyn, invited them to come over to her pond while Kim was tutoring one evening.) Ian was SO excited when he found out he could go fishing!
Ian screamed, "I caught a fish!!" after catching his first one.
He then caught five more!
Thanks, Marilyn, for the fun time!
The next night for dinner, Ian and Daddy cooked up the perch, though Ian wasn't keen on trying it. (It tasted amazing!)
Here's Ian standing upside-down while telling about his fishing adventures. :)
