My mom flew down about 2 weeks before and went all over Texas visiting family. She spent a week in Houston with her mommy and my cousins. Then she spent a week with her step-mom and step-sister in San Antonio. Of course, Aunt Sandy was with her just about the whole time :)
Hunter's expecting a baby, I think it's due the first week in September. I'm really excited for him . As is tradition with my family, the kid's getting a mural on the walls. Nanny started it before Mommy got there (I think) and she didn't want to stand and reach on the wall, so they put it on a big canvas that they will hang up once it's done. :) Apparently Mommy got a lot of work done on it. She said that Hunter came over to help out--and that he did a really good job--and Kendyl came by to help keep her company.
Daddy and I both flew in last Friday (June 28th). Our flights were to arrive within 10 minutes of each other, but I missed mine...long story and I don't really wanna get into it right now--let's just say that (among other things) when I printed my boarding pass I didn't know that I wouldn't be able to get into the Athena Cluster and get it out of the printer! At any rate, I missed my flight and had to catch stand by on a later one. The one that I ended up choosing when I checked my bag was one that went through Chicago, but when I got to the gate the flight attendant told me that it would be better for me (shorter flight/no layover/no delays) if I took one that left about an hour later--it was a direct flight. (It was also better for other people cause they were only going to Chicago.) Because she could have gotten me on that flight she straight up booked me on the other one (yippie! no more stand by!). I made it into Dallas around 530 (I think), but my luggage hadn't made it yet! It was grounded in Chicago because of the storm that delayed the plane there. The airline ended up delivering it to me the next morning...now my nice pink duffel bag is all dirty, but at least I had my clothes? and Daddy didn't have to wait that extra two hours that my luggage took to arrive!
On the way to Aunt Sandy's Daddy took me by old houses...
First we saw the house that he and Mommy first lived in:
Apparently it wasn't such a jungle then ;)
Then we saw the house I was born at:

Ok, I was born in the Dallas hospital,but this is where they brought me home to!
There was a very old hot tub/deck in the back:
Daddy built the deck and installed the tub himself!Apparently in those days the tubs were not one unit...
...the pup was over in corner of the deck!Look: It's Daddy!
We spent most of the week visiting Mommy and Daddy's old friends...it was a lot of fun! Bobby and Don took us to dinner (twice), Willie took us to breakfast and we went to see him play in his band, LeeRoy and his girl friend cooked us dinner. Ok, we spend the entire week going from one meal to another!
More details in later posts...
