My new game

Hi everyone, I wanted to tell you about my new game. I play it in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping. It's called "Bash-my-daddy's-face-in-while-he's-sleeping". I've only played it twice, but it's a lot of fun. Who needs an alarm clock when you have ME?! It usually gets Daddy up right away. He always shouts something, but I don't understand what he says, so I assume that he likes the game too. Maybe we'll play it again tonight...

Back to Texas

We're back to Texas for another year until next May. The trip down was rather smooth and uneventful with the exception of Adrian being patted down at the airport! Dennis and Adrian were randomly picked by the machine at the security screening for a full blown search. Little Adrian stood there with his arms held up and was patted down. He didn't quite clue in to what was going on at first, but pretty soon, he realized something funny is going on. A stranger has passed his invisible comfort bubble. He started crying. It was quite funny to watch, but I'm sure he didn't appreciate that too much.

The last couple of days have seen a lot of running around to move our stuff from storage into our new home, and shopping for some essentials. Tonight we enjoyed a nice homemade dinner at home - steak and potatos, Texas style! Most of our furniture is still unassembled, so we had our first official meal on a storage bin right by the kitchen. Adrian enjoyed it quite a bit too.

At the zoo!
