God Bless Texas and Baby Jack

A little over a week ago I took a trip back to the "Blessed Homeland" as I like to call it. It was time to visit family... especially Baby Jack (my nephew). It was so nice to be at home where you can see for miles and miles. If you need to pull off the highway to stop at a Taco Bueno for example, you can spot one from the road easily. In D.C. with all the trees it's a guessing game and you're lucky to find so much as a gas station. It was so refreshing to see the open skies, and large clouds. Even the cows on the way to my grandma's house made me smile.

Most importantly Baby Jack was just as cute as could be. Now for those of you who know me... I am NOT a baby person. But I just couldn't get enough of him. Unfortunately, Erin wouldn't let me bring him back to D.C., which was very selfish of her. She's the youngest in the family. It's to be expected I suppose. One of my favorite moments with Jack was when he tried his first bite of fish. He scrunched up his face real fast. Not that I blame him. Who likes fish anyhow? It was pretty entertaining. He chewed on that for a while. Lol. His favorite game is being chased around a chair. We played that daily. He's learning to walk, which is fun. He's a bundle of cuteness... which Runs in the family.

Mom pulled out the whip and made me do some spring cleaning. I took a walk down memory lane and trashed piles and piles of old junior high and high school memorabilia. The rest came home to D.C. with me. I had dinner with some of my college b-ball teammates which was such a blast. My trip to Texas was a lot of fun. I just wish it could have lasted longer!
