Busy Friday

Science Museum, new baby and Grandma's birthday all in one day! WOW! We shoved a whole weekend of events into a single day, but it was a great one! 

PeeWee School held a family field trip at a museum in Houston on Friday. Jonathan was able to take the day off, so the four of us went up to explore the dinosaur exhibit. (We've been studying dinosaurs in school this month!) Caleb had tons of fun checking out the dinosaurs and then moving on to several other exhibits at the museum. Jonathan, I hope, had fun chasing after Caleb and not loosing him. I had the horribly difficult task of keeping up with Aaron. I may have had the better end of the deal : )

Fun!

Studying the zebra

We stayed long enough to have lunch at the museum and then walked around Herman park. We were trying to wear out Caleb so he would take a nap on the way up to Spring. Instead, I think we got him over-tired and he had trouble sleeping in the car...oh well! So from the museum we made our way up to Spring to meet Hannah Joy! She was born early Thursday morning, October 20th. 

Thomas and Kristen had just gotten home from the hospital, so we didn't stay long. Just long enough to meet our new little niece.

After a quick visit up in Spring, we hopped back in the car and hi-tailed it back home. We made it back just in time for me to get dinner in the oven. We had a special dinner guest, Grandma Mal! We were celebrating her birthday. We had a yummy dinner and then spent some time catching up. I get to see her most Wednesdays, but Jonathan typically doesn't get to. It was nice to be able to relax and get a few pictures of Grandma with the boys.

On top of all of that, we were also on alert on Friday for TWO new little girls to be born! Jonathan's cousin's wife and Jonathan's sister were both induced Friday morning and they both had beautiful, healthy little girls! Talk about a whirlwind day!
