Week 16 - Dallas, Texas

 

Week 16 was spent in Dallas, Texas with Elizabeth, Miss Marie and Karen!  A huge thank you to Karen for letting us bum around with her on her business trip!  This picture is apparently a big thing to do in Dallas...the B and the G are everywhere and we finally figured it out at the Dallas Zoo.  You are supposed to stand in the middle of it and be the "I"...because only I can make big things happen in Dallas.  So me and LBN showed our stuff!!  We did all kinds of things while we were in town for four days...lounged by the pool two days, went to a Texas Rangers game, the Dallas Zoo and had some of the cities best TexMex at the Iron Cactus!  What a great mini vacation and I can't wait to go back someday!

 

This week has also been spent with some belly aches which I am not sure was a little food poisoning or just from LBN growing and expanding.  My back is beginning to feel better for the most part but still hurts occasionally.  Back to the chiropractor next week for sure.  LBN is the size of an open hand or turnip this week and usually my belly is the biggest at night time or right after a meal.  Four more weeks until we find out the gender!! 

 

While I was away, Dave went out and bought a new car for our soon to be growing family...I am the proud new owner of a 2013 Ford Explorer!  This is a pretty huge deal for me as I have had the same car since August of 2004.  Me and my Ford Escape have been through a lot together...from still living at home with my parents, getting married, starting my career, two houses, countless road trips, many trips down to the Katy Trail for running and training.  It is going to be really hard to give up my little Escape as we have driven 240,000 miles together but it is time to move on.  She already looks as though she is crying as she is parked out in the cul-de-sac and has been pushed to the side.  We didn't trade her in as I really want to keep her, but we will see what happens!  Here is a picture of my new set of wheels...soooo pretty!
