We also visited the 'Safety Fair' at the neighborhood elementary (big boy) school. Wesley got to see a real firetruck along with some police horses!


Not too sure about the firetruck at first...

The weather in Houston has finally cooled down a bit. The church has their pumpkin patch up and running and everyone is ready for more pleasant weather.


How about this one?


This one is just my size.


I wonder how far I can throw it...


Cheese!

We also took advantage of the nice weather to visit the zoo with Grandmama, Sadie, and Nolan!

Oh, and #2 is doing well too: heard the heartbeat this week so all is well!

Trip to New Orleans and a Race!

We visited New Orleans last weekend with Papa, Nana, and Aunt Mern. Daddy, Mama, Aunt Mern, and Papa went to the LSU vs Tulane game in the Superdome while Nana and Wesley visited the Aquarium of the Americas.

We also had brunch with Paul and Alysia, and Trevor and Baby Katherine on Sunday morning...It was great!


The streetcar line on St Charles is still out of service, so Nana and Wesley had to trudge across St Charles and take the bus to the aquarium.

Meanwhile...
