  Bag Head When Carson turned 1, Carrie and Shallan gave me a gift card to Urban Retreat.  They said I could only use it if we all went together, which sounded like a great idea.  But it just never worked out.  I drove by a building in Sugar Land last week and there was … [Read more…]

Fire Hose It took Carson some convincing, but once he saw another little boy try this out he gave it a shot.  And he loved it.  I like how serious his face is here. We went to the Missouri City Fire Station open house with some friends today.  I’m already planning to go again next … [Read more…]

Post Ice Cream Happiness Went and had ice cream at Cloud 10 today with Carrie.  Yummy ice cream, but rough to go around nap time!  Thankfully even with short naps it was a good day.  Happy Friday!
