I'm a Big Boy Now

the big o-n-e!

he loved his new piano

Just to prove that he is one he pushed this chair over to the island and climbed up all by himself to get the grapefruit that he loves to roll around the floor.

"Oh, Mexico"

Thank you James Taylor. We have looked forward to the annual Packard Rocky Point trip for 2 years now since we were unable to attend last year. (Still very sore subject.) We had a wonderful time! Cal was leery of the sand for the first 10 minutes and didn't want to stand in it, but after that he was in heaven!

(Cal was sporting the pink Little Mermaid swim diapers!)

More on Pearland

To answer the many questions- we are buying the house in Texas. We signed the papers today! We loved Pearland! (Yep, Pear like the fruit.) It was so great to get to know the town better/meet people in the ward before we have to move there. We had a great trip and are so glad we had Mom Lewis and Doug's sister Lauren join us to share their opinions with us.

We enjoyed seeing the medical district down town that will be Doug's home for the next 4 years:

The Houston Temple was beautiful although it is about 1 1/2 hours away. (I had no idea how HUGE Houston is.)

And here are some more shots of the house.

The loft will serve as my preschool room. The wood floors will be great for spills!

It needs a little work- but we could not be happier with it!
