The Baby Train

By Laurie | September 7, 2009

It was a baby filled holiday weekend as we took a mini road trip to the Austin and San Antonio area to visit with friends and family. On Saturday we stopped to see Meagan and Dustin and to meet their new little one, Jackson. He was just as sweet as can be and was awake for us most of the visit. I got to rock him and hold his tiny little hands. It was fun to see them interact with him and together as a family. They are going to be great parents. Here’s a sweet little shot of baby and mama:

Later we drove down to San Antonio and had dinner with family. We made the trip to attend Carin’s baby shower on Sunday. She and Jeremy are expecting their little boy in October. David has affectionately named him “Lancelot” though Carin assures us that that will not be the name they select. She had a very nice shower hosted by her friend. Erin. She got a lot of really cute and fun gifts, including things for the nursery and a ton of adorable clothes.

Here is a photo of her cutting the yummy cake. The invitation was screened on top. I am now officially a fan of chocolate and cream chesse! Too bad we don’t have very many HEBs in our part of Texas. I haven’t had a cake that good in a long time, but we’ve been dieting so pretty much everything tastes fantastic.

We left later that night in order to make it home to rescue Brownie. Originally we were going to take him with us and stay through today, but we figured it might be a little easier on both us, and him too, if he was safe and at home. We put out three puppy pads and he actually only used one and made no other messes. We are proud doggie parents.

It was a fun (and fast) weekend. We got to see friends and family, plus I got to eat at two of my favorite TexMex restaurants. It doesn’t get much better! Oh, and I was only asked when we’re going to be next on the baby train less than a dozen times. I expected it to be much worse.
