A week in Houston

Last week Charlie and I rushed to Houston to see our Mimi who was admitted to ICU in Texas City for stomach pains and low blood pressure. Mark was sad to see us go but I know he enjoyed laying around watching sports center and not having any "daddy duty."I was able to see Mimi a couple of times on my visit am happy to announce she is out of ICU and in a regular room as of last night.

While we were in Houston, Charlie and I went to the zoo and the downtown aquarium. We had a lot of fun!

Pictures

Charlie got so messy eating his dinner and got it all over Mark's shirt. They look so cute in their khakis!

Dada caught a perch! Charlie tried to grab it... he is NOT scared of anything.

We were playing with the camera while Dada was fishing.

I like to eat sand!

Charlie cruising with his Dada at the lake!

Emma and Pop come to town

My parents came to town this week and brought a truck load of toys for Charlie. When I say truck load, I mean they filled the Tahoe to the brim!! Charlie LOVES everything! What a spoiled baby!

Kentucky Derby/ My Birthday

We have had an amazing week! On Saturday Laine and Duncan had a Kentucky derby party and we had so much fun! We watched the race, Mark made mint julips and grilled out. We took Charlie for a few hours and then he went home to the babysitter while we stayed out until almost midnight.

My birthday was one of the best ever! I got a new swim suit and some of those new shoes that help you tone your legs when you walk. Laine and Mark took me to lunch at my favorite restaurant and then Laine and Charlie made me an amazing cake while I drank champagne. Mark had my favorite flowers (star gazer lily's) delivered and cooked me a great dinner.Thanks to Laine, Mark and Charlie, it was a perfect birthday!!

I LOVE cake!!
