December Trip to Ft. Worth and Houston, TX

On Tuesday, 16-DEC, Rosie and Bob left HSV headed for Ft. Worth to see Rosie's sister, Julia, and family and Rosie's Dad. Our first stop was at the Stonecipher house. Here's a picture of Julia and Dale.
On Wednesday morning, Rosie and Bob traveled from Julia and Dale's house to Love Field in Dallas to pick up Karen and Logan who had taken an early morning flight from Houston Hobby to Love. They were waiting for us outside of baggage claim when we arrived.

We next drove over to Stonegate Nursing Home to visit Rosie's Dad - know to all of us as Poppa.
Here are pictures of Karen and Poppa and Rosie, Logan and Poppa.
After visiting with Poppa, Rosie, Bob, Karen, Logan and Sam (our dog) loaded into our car for the 5+ hour trip to the Flachman home in Dickinson, TX (south of Houston). Logan and Sam got a bit tired during the ride. Here's a picture of them sleeping together.Bob and Rosie spent Thursday through Sunday AM at the Flachman house helping celebrate Logan's first birthday. Logan is really mobile. Here are two shots of him coming in the "doggy door."

Doesn't Logan have that mischievous look on his face? He's ready for action!

We got to watch and help Logan open some birthday presents. Gram (aka Rosie) is helping Logan open presents we gave him. Looks like the paper is tasty.

Next is a picture of Logan opening a birthday present from their neighbors Hope and Phil.Karen made Logan a delicious birthday cake - pumpkin cake with cream cheese icing - ummm! Logan enjoyed blowing out the candle (with Dad's help) but especially eating the cake.

Logan and Shane enjoyed rolling the ball across the floor.We also got a chance to see the local Christmas lights. Here are two shots from the Christmas lights. I don't think Logan was too excited to see Santa. Putting him on Santa's lap didn't last long.We had an opportunity to visit with Bill and Yoshiko Burke, friends from Kobe, Japan. Bill and Yoshiko were in Houston visiting their daughter's family. They drove to Shane and Karen's house for dinner on Friday night. We had a great time visiting with them.On Sunday morning Rosie, Bob and Sam loaded into the SUV for the trip back to HSV. Thanks for the fun. We had a great visit.
