Mom & Dad R Visit!

We've had a busy couple of weeks around here and I haven't had time to blog in a while! Sean's parents, or Mason's Grandma and Granddad, visited us a couple weeks ago and it was so wonderful to see them. Mason is at such a fun age and we're happy they got to see him before he moves into full-on toddlerhood. We all had fun keeping up with him during the day, and enjoyed rewarding ourselves with socializing, eating and drinking once he was asleep.

Seattle is in a pretty constant state of dreary, so we didn't want to schedule too many activities other than to allow ample time for them to enjoy good ol' sunny and hot Dallas. We stayed just busy enough with a couple of lunches out, a visit to the 6th Floor Museum (where JFK was shot), and fun shopping (mostly for Mason) while they were here. A bulk of the time was spent hanging out as a family and playing with Mason at home. We enjoyed each others company every evening with a nice meal in, and had my parents over one night for a fun party that Sean and I were the first to retire from!

Seattle has become one of my favorite cities, especially since they are there, and we're already thinking about when we can visit them next. We had a great visit and I know Mason loved spending quality time with his Grandma and Granddad. We all love you and can't wait to see you again!

Mason & Mommy in Dallas. Thought the shadows in the middle picture turned out cool. The far right has the 'x' in the road where JFK was shot.

Left picture is the angle the shooter had (this was taken from 7th floor - 6th floor spot is blocked off). Right picture is Old Red Museum in Dallas.

Lunch at El Fenix Downtown

Yay for popsicles! 

Reading his 1st year photo book with Granddad. He loves looking at his pictures and pointing out everything/everyone he recognizes.

Happy Hour!

Hazel loves Mom & Dad R. She's happy and smiling when they arrive (on left), and sad to see them go (on right).

Mason and I took a road trip last weekend to visit my brother in Oklahoma, and are leaving again tomorrow to meet up with my parents, my sister and her family, and my aunt at a house on Lake LBJ for a couple of days. We're staying busy and loving every second of it! I'll of course update the blog on all of this!
