Parker's First Trip to Houston

Parker and I just returned from our fun trip to Houston. Lee and I had originally planned to drive out for the weekend to see Lia in her school musical, but I ended up hitching a ride with my aunt and going a week early...just me and Parker. He was such a great traveler and was really good while we were there. My parents were so great and kept Parker almost every night in their room...I almost got a little too spoiled! We had a good time hanging out at their house and being a part of Lia's every day life. Lee, Alyssa and Sam flew out for the weekend and flew back home Sunday. My mom and I drove back yesterday with Parker and got in late last night, and she's leaving tomorrow. I'm so sad I'm so far away from all of them. Of course, Parker and I were glad to come back home to our own house and be with Lee, but I'm going to miss my mom and dad and Lia so much. It's so much harder to come back home after I've been there for a while because we start to fall into an old routine and it makes me miss them being close so bad. Maybe soon!! Here are some fun pictures from our trip.

My cousin Eldon sat in the back with Parker on the way to Houston to watch him. He was such a great babysitter...until he got too tired!

My dad (PeePaw) was so sweet. He loved holding Parker and even stayed home by himself a few times with him so my mom and I could run around town!

Lia was such a natural with Parker and held him every chance she got. She was a great babysitter and a huge help...especially when he was fussy. He loves to hear Aunt Lia sing!

We had our first play date with Kelly and Dylan Mingoia. Dylan was born 1 week and 1 day before Parker. I think it's crazy how much they look alike. We had a great time and can't wait to see them again.
