Visiting Austin & New School



Liam and Mommy went on an adventure right after Christmas. Baby Ethan, Liam's youngest cousin, was born on Christmas Day. Liam and Ethan became good buddies in Ethan's first week of life.

Liam wanted to bring his tiny cars (Matchbox) on the plane. We put them in his little backpack, which he carried. TSA had fun trying to figure out what it was! They told Liam that he was lucky to have so many cars to play with on the plane. Typical toddler, Liam said. "I know." Before the plane took off, Liam got to sit in the pilot's seat. He 'flew' the plane using the special instruments and handles the pilots use. I swear the smile nearly broke his face in half.

In Texas, we saw a whole bunch of people. Auntie Katie looked really good for having just had a baby! We also met Aaron and Little Ronnie, and Uncle Ronnie too. One day we drove from Austin to San Antonio, and we met up with Liam's Nana. She planned a fun-filled day with trains and the zoo and a boat ride at the end. Back at her house, she gave him cookies and milk while he watched cartoons in bed. He stayed up way past his bedtime and I'm sure, felt like some sort of prince. He loved it!

When we got home from Texas, Liam started big kid school. So far, he loves school.
