Look Who Was in Town!!



My little brother was in town this week on business. He has a client out here that he works with. It is funny that he knows the city way better than we do, even though we are the ones that live here.

The kids and I went out with Jon Monday night. He took us out to this great Mexican restaurant. The partner was in town for Tuesday and Wednesday, so we didn't see him then. But last night Al, the kids and I met Jon at his office and he took us out to this really good Texas BBQ place.

There were some people at the bar when we walked in. They were saying, "Oh, look at the little baby!" And then the other lady goes, "That's not a little baby, that's a big baby!" Then..."How old is he?" Me, "5 months." Them, both at the same time, "Oh!" Then one of the husbands chimes in, "Have you had that boy outfitted for a helmet yet?" As in a football helmet. We are in football country. We chuckle and say no. Then the other husband says, "You might be carrying that baby right now, but he looks like he will be carrying you pretty soon!"

After dinner Jon showed us where this ritzy shopping area is. He bought us some cupcakes at this little gourmet bakery and we sat outside on some benches to eat them.

Then we went back to his hotel and hung out for a few minutes before we said good-bye. He is coming back out here in a few weeks and then I think in November. It is so fun to have him here. Avery loves her uncle Jubes.

How funny! Man I love how strangers think they can just say what ever they want. I wish I was so bold and could just say funny things to people with out worrying about how i could impact someone or that I might look a fool. I miss!!! why is houston so far away?
