We had a wonderful time in Houston this weekend! Now that Declan’s two, he rides in his own seat on the airplane – he loved that!
With weather a “balmy” 92 degrees every day, we took some time out for ice cream at Marble Slab.
Declan enjoyed spending quality time with Auntie Vanessa and Uncle George during the weekend – here he is trying to figure out where the sound comes from in Uncle George’s trumpet.
Here, he’s “helping” Uncle George play the right notes…
Declan had a blast at the Houston Children’s Museum – he can do so many more things than he could when we visited the last time, in October 2004.
The purpose of our visit to Houston was to host a baby shower for George and Vanessa in celebration of their soon-to-be-adopted-daughter from China. Here Declan demonstrates his party self in a Chinese t-shirt (symbolizing strength and courage) in honor of the big event.
After the party, he had a good time counting fingers with Grandma and Grandpa Chase.
And here he is on the ride home, reading magazines just like Daddy!
