A Visit to Houston

Last week, while Nathan was serving at a boys' camp somewhere far off in New Mexico, Isaac and I had the opportunity to pay a visit to Houston.  It was great to see my side of the family again and watch them get acquainted with Isaac!  My parents had not seen him since he was three weeks old, and my grandparents had not met him at all until this trip.

It was a relaxing week spent mostly with family and a few other friends.  Due to trying to keep Isaac on his usual nap schedule and not overbook ourselves, we were unable to meet with everyone whom we would have liked to see, so perhaps when we visit again in December it will work out to see more of you! :)

I took close to a hundred pictures from our time there, but here are just a handful of them!

Isaac and Mema get acquainted.

He was fascinated by her red lipstick!

I'm not sure what Isaac was thinking in this picture, but his expression is quite determined!

Dinner time.

Four generations!

Lots of giggles!

So sweet.

Playing with Mema and Papa.

Grandmommy doing what I called her "Indian Pow-Wow Dance" with Isaac around the table.

This became an almost daily occurrence and Isaac LOVED it!  He always relaxed in her arms like a rag doll. :)

Bath time!

Looking dapper in his new hat!

Meeting Aunt Nora.

Some pictures with Grandmommy and Grandaddy.

Happy Boy!

Waiting at the airport for our flight and trying to take it all in.

The only drawback to our trip was that the traveling process caused a relapse in my hemorrhoid issue, which had completely cleared up for several weeks prior. :(  I am back to coping daily with pain and trying to give thanks for this ongoing trial!  Your prayers are appreciated.
