I think if God asked the Israelites to wander for 40 years today, they would end up in Texas. Our second stop on the grandparent tour was Texas...oh blessed Texas. We had lots and lots of fun with granddad, and mommy got to show CJ off to three of her favorite old friends.
Can you tell they were having fun?
CJ's two favorite "toys" at granddads were a basket that I unfortunately never got a picture of, and a gift card holder from Zara. He had plenty of actual toys, but for some reason he fixated on these two things. I think it is so funny to watch his preferences and creativity develop.
Last week we also got to visit three of mommy's friends and play with their kiddos. First we went to Argyle to see Chad, Kenalea and Grayson. We had lots and lots of fun at the park, but I forgot my camera. :( Kenalea saved the day and had hers, but I haven't gotten pictures yet; stay tuned for another post when I get them. It was wonderful to see these sweet friends who walked with us through good times and hard times while we were in Japan.
Then on Sunday, CJ got to meet his Baylor roommate DEACON!! My bestie from college has a little boy who is only three weeks younger than CJ. We decided before they were born that they will be best friends, both go to Baylor, and be roommates. We haven't gone so far as to say they must marry twin Chi Omegas from Baylor, but that may still be dictated. :)
We started the day with a snack. CJ stole poor Deacon's food and juice, and I eventually had to corrall him in a high chair so he would eat his own food and drink his own juice. Silly boy!
Then it was upstairs to play! CJ liked Jenny....
Aren't they cute?!?!
Then CJ decided the toys were over rated, and Jenny looked like much more fun to climb on. Deacon thought this is a great idea, and joined in the fun. She was a great jungle gym!
CJ really liked this tent. There are balls you can put through slides and doors, and CJ had lots of fun with it. The funniest part was when CJ stood up and was able to drag the tent over his head. Unfortunately for Deacon, he was in there with him at that time. He is such a little power house. We had such a fun time playing. I wish these two lived closer together so they could do this more often!
Then on Monday, we headed to Waco. CJ got to see Baylor and got a new Baylor T-shirt. I can't believe I didn't take a picture of him on campus! Again, preggo brain in action. :( But, even better than Baylor (and if you know me well, you know there aren't many things better than Baylor) we got to see Chris, Brett, Ellia and Olive. This is what happens when you go to a girl's house to play...
At one point Brett told Ellia, who is 3, to make sure CJ stayed safe because she is the big girl and CJ is a baby. She took this job very seriously. She returned with a trash can, two remotes, and a large handful of other things she took from him. Needless to say, she is going to make a great babysitter one day! It is always a breath of fresh air to see Chris. She is a great encourager, and such a sweet friend.
I keep trying to figure out how to get Texas closer to Georgia, but I haven't figured out and answer yet. We'll just have to come back again so we can play more!
