Yeah, Grandma!

Two weeks after Avery's birth my mom came out to meet her and to spend some time with us. She was our very first visitor since moving to Houston!

She helped me out a lot with both kids and loved every minute of it. Cole had a great time with his grandma and grandma had a great time with him. Lot's of hugs and play time! She loves being grandma!
~~~
We took her to Galveston to see some of the damage caused by Ike since most of it is cleaned up around here. Then we stopped at the beach only long enough to take pictures because unfortunately it was cold and windy day.
~~~
We met Mana, Annette and their boys at Space Center Houston where we took a tour of the mission control center, astronaut training center and rocket park where the huge Saturn V rocket is. It was fun for my mom to get to meet some of our friends here in Houston and to show her what Houston is a lot about.
~~~
While she was here we wanted to have a Thanksgiving dinner together so Saturday night, Nov. 15th we had our Thanksgiving. Tom deep fried a turkey and with it were all of the fix ens. So yummy! And like always we all got completely stuffed, no pun intended!
~~~
Sunday afternoon we took her back to the Hobby airport where we gave hugs and said our good byes, for now.

We had a fun time while she was here, even though it wasn't long enough.

We Love You Mom!

We couldn't get Cole to look up to save our lives


This is the best we could get.
Doesn't everyone look so happy!
