He IS my son!

I was so excited one afternoon as a baby bird boy toddled over to see what I was eating for lunch. It happened to be these vegetarian Veggie Patch chick'n nuggets and Remo desperately wanted a bite. I gave him a small chunk and he wandered away, distracted by the dogs. Today I decided to be bold and give him TWO WHOLE NUGGETS for lunch. He loved them! Loved every last crumb! I've never been so proud! Maybe I will have the little vegetarian I always dreamed of!

Papa Gaga and Mama SheShe


Remi loved his Papa Gaga and Mama SheShe! They were so good to him. Papa Gaga was always good for a giggle and Mama SheShe was always good for a snuggle!

Baby stinky feet


Remi loved playing with Grandma Sano on our trip! He wasn't even insulted when she jumped away after getting a whiff of his feet! They have a great new game to play when she gets to town next week!

Yes, I like this kid...

But I'm really loving the mountains reflected in the windows! Mountains are one of the many things I miss about Utah. Remi and I had a great time at Ikea with Callie and Caleigh (also lovingly referred to as 'tomato' and 'toMAHto' by Keith) two people I can truly appreciate that store with!

Good food, better friends

Had a lovely time out at dinner with some of my good high school friends while in Utah. I miss them! I also especially miss those who couldn't make it!

Ski Day

While on my visit to Utah, Gigi took Dani and me skiing at Park City Mountain Resort. We got a great deal on the normally $80+ day pass. A deal in the amount of free. It included the fast track pass which enabled us to butt in line at every lift! Thanks, Gigi!
Helmets are all the rage on the mountain these days, I swear I was the only person that didn't have one.Gigi goes skiing every spare minute. She is getting really good! She definitely left me in the dust to better busy myself with snow plowing.I only fell four times! Twice off the lift (not technically a fall, because I never fully stood up...) Once on a run and once standing perfectly still.

First Mardi Gras After Ike

We took Katie on a whirlwind tour of Galveston while she was here visiting. Here are some of the highlights including a stop on the strand for Mardi Gras...if you can even call it that!
Pier in the middle of nowhere:
I've been looking for a good deal on a Honda:Well, it's still a beach house:Galveston is still in disrepair:
Ike Water Line. The sidewalk we're standing on is an additional foot from the street:
Woo! Remi got the most beads!
La King's Confectionery making a comeback!
Cops taking cover from the downpour:
A drunk guy insisted on taking our picture:
Not much going on at the party:
