“You may all go to hell and I will go to Texas” (Davy Crockett)

Big fun in the Lone Star State for our little man. He's been to an ultra exclusive girls weekend at the river, trips to Fort Worth, Austin and finally to Houston. He's turned out to be a fantastic flier and slept most of the 17 hours of plane ride home. Same for the 4 hour and 3 hour drives to Fort Worth and Austin to see his cousins.
Cousin Maggie loves to make him laugh, cousin Avery loves to baby the baby and cousin Katherine goes straight for his eyes.
Perry finally made it home this week and we couldn't be happier.

Already threatening to call CPS

I won't do more tummy time. I won't!


Whew! Thought you had me there for a second.

Hiccups and Head Control

Mmmm, Sangria and cinnamon sticks on steroids

One of the girls from the compound made this Sangria recipe and I'm hooked. It called for two 3" cinnamon sticks, which I couldn't find. Luckily, Perry found these on his way home.
That's a dinner plate and one stick. It might be cinnamon flavored bark, but it does the trick.

Carrie's Sangria

1 cup apple juice

1/3 cup Triple Sec

1/4 cup sugar

4 whole cloves

3 blood (or navel) oranges, cut into 1/4 inch slices

2 lemons cut into 1/4 inch slices

2 (3 inch) cinnamon sticks

1 Bartlett pear, cut into small cubes

2 plums, cut into small cubes

1 bottle fruity red wine

Combine all ingredients and stir until sugar dissolves. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Remove cloves and cinnamon sticks before serving.

One of the many reasons he'll hate us later

Giving us a piece of his mind about that tummy time garbage

Pear-Banana Scented Bottoms

Perry found these today. There's nothing right about this, but Maggie and Avery will love it. Take note of the lapin (rabbit).
