Pictures and some good news

We had a really fun weekend with Uncle Michael and Aunt Jilinda in Dallas!  

The weekend started off in Waco at a Friday morning Backyardigans show.  Elizabeth and I took the little two and got to see Kristen and her boys there and then have lunch with them!  










Then James and I headed up to Dallas.  We ate some good Mexican food Friday night, but I think the highlight of the night for James was having a firetruck come straight to the house!  Michael had a faulty smoke alarm, so it was nothing worrisome, but James' eyes lit up and he just stared at it for the longest time.  He got to go in and they even turned the lights on for him!  He talked about it for the rest of the weekend.
 




















Saturday I bought the double stroller that we'd been looking at for a while.  I highly recommend it to anyone needing a double stroller for taking out and about, going on walks, traveling, etc.   My favorite thing about it is that it can be used as a single stroller, or you can add the extra seat and use it with a newborn and toddler, baby and toddler, or toddler and toddler.

Saturday night, James heard his first Ozzy Osborn concert at the Oz fest in Frisco!  We didn't actually GO to the concert :) we just got a snow cone around the corner and heard him singing and talking.  It was crazy around there and cool to get to hear him! 

Josh got home last night and we have been thoroughly enjoying the Olympics!  I started laughing and crying simultaneously when Michael Phelps and the 3 others won the relay!  Wasn't that incredible?!!

I also wanted to share some good news.  Josh and I took blood work a week and a half ago to test for Cystic Fibrosis.  My doctor said that we'd probably be in to Temple before we got the results back in a week, but we decided to do the blood work anyway.  I'm so glad we did now since it's taking longer than we thought!  My doctor called me on Friday to tell me that neither one of us has a gene for CF!  That's a huge blessing!  I will keep you updated, but probably won't be anything else to report on until a week from Friday.
