Vacation Time

It's been a while since I have been able to get my dad or mom to update my blog as we all went on vacation. Not together, mind you, but all away from the house and computer all the same.

I got to take a plane ride to Houston with my mom and meet my Grandpa Frank/Larry/Whatever. Actually his given name is Frank, but he was introduced to my dad as Larry years ago. It is a long story, longer to tell than I have been alive. We spent a whole week in Texas.

I was a really good boy on the airplane. I did not cry or fuss at all. Several people told my mom how nice and well behaved I was for such a young traveler. Airplanes are actually kinda fun, if you have to travel anywhere that is.

Grandpa has all of the pictures of me and my family from this blog printed out and posted in his office at work. Apparently, I am a celebrity!! Who Knew!???! Grandpa likes to sing to me and I really like hanging out with him. He is cuddly and took really good care of me and my mom. He has neat friends too, Ron and Karen. Ron and my Granpa have been playing music together for a LONG time. Ron and Karen took us to dinner one night and gave me some neat clothes and playthings.

The rest of my family that lives in Texas came to visit me during my trip. I got to meet my Uncle Rich. He is really special too. He and I hung out and became friends. He has a nice fiance named Kahra, she is REALLY cute!! I also met my Great-Grandma, Mimi. She is grandpa Frank/Larry/Whatever's mother. She is a HUGE sports fan, especially the Houston Astro's and the old Houston Oilers. She and Grandpa now like the Texans. She said she would teach me all that she knows about sports. Right now I only really like to watch the colors on the TV or the overhead fan blades. I don't know an inside fastball from a dirty diaper.

While my mom and I were in Houston, my dad was in Colorado hunting for elk with his friends. He called me every night to say "hi" and talk to me and mom. It was kinda weird because I could hear him very well, but I couldn't see him. I really liked hearing from him though, he made me feel like he was there, but I still can't find him!!!

The rest of my family - Aunt Laura and Uncle Howard, Uncle Charles, Aunt Margarite and Uncle James, Cousin Shannon and her son Michael, Cousin Kyle and Ashley - had a party for my mom and me. We all went to Aunt Laura's house and had a great dinner (I didn't get to eat any cuz I have no teeth) and there was a cake for me with my name printed on it (also I didn't get any of that either). I really like my family. They were all very nice to me and I look forward to spending more time with them. My Grandpa may come to California to visit me for Christmas. That would be GREAT!!!!

I will have my mom and dad add pictures of the Texas visit to our photo album so you can see them later on. I do have a new picture of me in my A's baseball cap (that is my Dad and Mom's favorite team of all time.)
