Trip to Houston

Last weekend we went to Houston to visit Bryan's family - GranJan, Grandpa, Aunt Michelle, Uncle Craig, Aunt Carolyn & Uncle Billy - for our Thanksgiving celebration. Bryan just finished up a month in the ER and they gave him the last four days of the rotation off. We are so thankful for those days since his next rotation will give him very little time off! We are expecting him to average over 110 hours per week of work over the next four weeks. YUCK!

We traveled on Saturday morning and came back on Monday afternoon. Caleb was great in the car both times! He napped for about 1/2 of the trip and then read books, played with toys from his car basket or listened to his kid music in the car. We didn't have to make any stops on the way to Houston or on the way home!

We had a great visit in Houston. We stayed with GranJan and Grandpa and made two quick visits to see Granny & Daddy Bob too. At GranJan and Grandpa's Caleb loved playing on the stairs (with supervision of course!), announcing the presence of Princess the cat every time he saw her (caaaaaaaaaat!) and opening and closing many doors, especially the doors to the kitchen. He also played with his lion push toy, went to the park, slept in the new crib at GranJan and Grandpa's, enjoyed his first true Thanksgiving food that wasn't baby food from a jar, and had more piano lessons from Grandpa. Thank you GranJan and Grandpa for a fun visit to Houston!

I wish I had taken more pictures! Here are some of the better ones that I took.
