New Mexico

Finally back from our summer travels and settled back into our house...for now. We had a great time in New Mexico (as always!)visiting Becky, Frank and Bella, and even though it was sad to leave our friends again it was nice to get back into our normal daily routine. Again we were blessed with great weather for most of our trip. Not in the 100s like it was at home, although we did experience one mild hail storm while we were there.
How we spent our time was pretty laid back like usual. We did take a short trip to the lake and the park (Dez loved the swing!). Desmond and Bella got along great, but seemed to be on opposite schedules. Whenever one would go down for a nap the other would wake up. It became a game to see if we could get both kids down at the same time...we won once! Desmond loved all of Bella's old toys, especially the bouncy activity center. He liked it so much we ordered one as soon as we got home! Hopefully he will like it as much now as he did then. We stopped at the Big Texan in Amarillo, TX on our way home. I think it's kind of a creepy joint, but it was good to finally stop there since we pass it by every time. Picture link on the side.
We're getting ready to get back to work on our house: master bath update, front entry way re-tile, paint master bedroom, the list never ends! Now if my darling boy would sleep for more than 30 minutes at a time I would be able to begin one of these projects. Oh, and I suppose we better start Desmond proofing since it's only a matter of time before he starts cruising around...Oh my!! He's almost sitting up on his own and I think he's got another tooth or two working their way to the surface. Gosh, he's growing up too fast!
