RV Expo

So... ever taken a 17 month old to a RV show?

Really, it wasn't all that bad. Grace was really good. We spent a lot of time taking Grace out of the stroller and putting her back in. She did seem to enjoy checking out all the different travel trailers we were looking at.

This was the first RV show we have been to with Grace... well, sort of. Brenda was pregnant when we went to the last one. On that particular trip we went and gawked at all the massive and opulent 5th wheel trailers for full-timers. This trip was mostly confined to what we may practically consider in the next several years. Mostly we looked at Hybrid trailers (solid side travel trailers that have "tent" beds that fold out from the front, back and/or side) and some "bunkhouse" models of light weight trailers. No, we aren't likely to buy one anytime soon, but it is fun to look. One day, hopefully after 1 or both of the vehicles are paid off, we may give it more thought. We would probably buy something used, but the shows provide a great chance to see so many different models and makes without pushy salesmen hounding you. Plus, it was a rainy, yucky, cold day today, so it was perfect for spending inside wandering the Austin Convention Center.

Ask Brenda in April how she feels about the travel trailer idea. We are borrowing a travel trailer for an extended weekend. That trip should sort out lots of questions!

Grace has a secret!

We took some cute pictures of Grace that we thought we would share. Brenda had her doctor's appointment today, and we are excited to share the news! Brenda is pregnant! The nurse said she is 8 weeks and 3 along making her due date April 24th. We have known for awhile but wanted to wait until her first visit before we shared our news. Please celebrate with us and pray for a happy and healthy pregnancy. The irony of the shirt is that we haven't told Grace yet, although she has been talking about a baby brother or baby sister for months now. It's kind of funny, we would ask her, "would you like a baby brother or a baby sister?" To which she always relied "Yes!". So we would ask her, "Which one?" "I hold baby brother, you hold baby sister!" Brenda is feeling fine. She has had more nausea this time around, but no actual morning sickness, so we are counting our blessings. Its been hard to keep it a secret, Brenda has been very tired, so our...

C'mon Mom, it's just PB and J!

When Mommy makes Grace a sandwich, she takes lots of time to cut the sandwich in small, manageable pieces for Grace. Mommy also has a thing for clean fingers, clean hair and hopefully clean ears. There is certainly nothing wrong with this approach. I applaud her enthusiasm for Grace's manners. However, sometimes... well, come on... really. It is just peanut butter and jelly. At this point, I should probably take a moment to thank the sponsors of this particular blog entry, Peter Pan Peanut Butter and Gramma's Strawberry Preserves. Gramma's Strawberry Preserves and Peach Butter is only available at a small pantry in Tyler, TX. She doesn't advertise, she doesn't sell her products online, heck, she doesn't even sell her products period... But those in the know, know where to go to get their jelly fix. Since I am down to my last jar of Strawberry Preserves, and I am completely out of Peach Butter, it must be about time for another journey to East Texas. Since Gramm...

Grace goes to see Elmo's Green Thumb

Brenda and I celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary and Valentine's Day on February 12th with a nice dinner out, just the 2 of us. You couldn't drag me into a restaurant on Valentine's Day night with a pack of wild horses, so we take advantage of having our anniversary so close. Plus, when I send flowers on the 12th, I get a 2 day head start on getting the freshest, most beautiful flowers delivered to Brenda and she gets a couple of days longer to enjoy them in her office. So what did we do today to celebrate Valentine's Day? We took Grace to see Elmo's Green Thumb! We didn't tell Grace until this morning that we were going, so it was a complete surprise. So, was it worth it to spend Valentine's Day at the Erwin Center surrounded by enough toddlers in diapers to make anyone nervous? Take a look at the grin in the first picture. It was definitely worth it. I don't how to say this without making us sound incredibly pretentious, but Brenda and I decided...
