Still in Houston

Good Morning! It's a little after 7am right now and we're in a hotel (LaQuinta cause they take pets) in Houston. Woke up about 6:15 from small yippy dog barking, I'm supposing the owner had gone to the lobby for breakfast. We will be headed to our son's home around 8 this morning to have breakfast and then will get on the road to head back to San Antonio.

Yesterday was a glorious day as we introduced little Rudy to his great grandfather (baby Rudy's name sake). My father-in-law is 83 years old. I will post photos later when we get home but no photo will do this meeting justice. I think as we age not only do we become more patient, we become sweeter, and kinder. I wish my husband and father-in-law were even half as sweet when our own children were babies.

We will most likely be driving home in rain and hopefully we can dodge the more severe weather that's out there. I don't want to complain about the rain as we've been in a drought for almost a year now and the cooler weather (albeit short lived) is welcomed with the front. I just would rather now have to drive for 3 hours in poor weather conditions.

Rudy is growing like a weed and at about 7 weeks old, we were able to have him awake more (more time to give him hugs and kisses and bounce him around). There will be photos posted later today when we get home.
