San Antonio

Let me start with Texas. It was a blast. Our journey started on a Friday night. We drove 22 hours, strait through to San Antonio. Of course, Siege had to contract some weird gooey eye fungus the day of departure, so we literally left the doctors office two hours before we left for the road. I was very nervous about the drive. Siege is one super busy kid. He doesn't sit very often. But we were equipped with snacks, books, and the super duper iPad. I couldn't believe how great he did. It helped that we stopped to let the kiddos out to run around at a few places, but for the most part he was pretty content with his precious iPad. Who knows what parents did before these remarkable gadgets. We pulled into San Antonio on Saturday night and stayed at a beautiful hotel right off of the River Walk. The River Walk was an absolute highlight for me. It's gorgeous and so well kept. The coolest part about it was watching people just walk and eat right on the River Walk. We finished the night at La Tierra, my favorite restaurant of the trip. I experienced the deliciousness of Tex-Mex. Now, I know what all you Texans are talking about. Throughout the week we visited the Zoo, The Mexican Market place (El Mercado), Austin, the Tower of Americas, Sea World, and had some great BBQ! It will definitely be a trip we never forget. Texas is beautiful.

This next video is from one of the restaurants we ate at. Siege loved the mariachi band so much. We were all a little annoyed because they played right next to us for the entire length of our meal, so we couldn't really talk at all at dinner. Siege however, could have listened to them all night. It was pretty funny.

About 48 hours after getting home, Siege came down with his gooey eye all over again. But this time, worse. Much worse. The poor kid has had a rough month. He's had hives, gooey eye, a double ear infection, more gooey eye and a fever that lasted for days. He's never been this sick.

We've been in quarantine for just about a week now and I think our cabin fever days will soon be over. He's pretty much back to himself. It's a good thing too, because we've got a very busy month ahead of us. We will be finished with swimming lessons in another week and next week starts gymnastics. This month I've got one sister in law leaving for Argentina for a year and another sister in law graduating law school. Chris has also started working on Siege's big boy room.

We're building Siege a little reading nook for his new room and it should be pretty neat when we're done. Then we'll have to make the dreaded move from crib to bed and he's switching rooms all together. Hopefully it's not as bad as I'm anticipating it to be.

We also had a blast watching Siege Easter Egg hunt. It was way more fun than I thought it would be. He picked up the object of finding the eggs right away. Even if he did call all of the eggs "Ba" for ball. Chris and I have also finally found a church that we really like and can see ourselves settling in for a while. We're looking forward to getting both our little ones baptized together in the coming year.

As for the pregnancy, I've been really lucky. It's hard to believe that in just over 5 months we'll have two children. Eeeeek!
