First Steps!

Roxane,

Thanksgiving was wonderful! Grandma Linda and Grandpa Ben flew in for a long weekend, and Uncle Dave drove down from Austin for a visit. We all went to Grandma Mary Kate and Grandpa Sam’s house for Thanksgiving dinner, and everyone was amazed at how much food you ate – you fit right in with the rest of us. We had a grand feast! We took you to the McNay Art Museum on Friday morning and had a wonderful time – highly recomended museum to anyone that has not been. The estate and grounds are beautiful, and the collection is extensive. After the museum we all went back to Mary Kate and Sam’s house for leftovers (yum!), then spent the evening on the Riverwalk watching the holiday parade – great fun! On Saturday, we hung around the house and Dad and I built closet shelves in our bedroom. In the afternoon, on November 30, in front of Mom and Michelle – YOU WALKED YOUR FIRST STEPS!!! Yahoo! and Oh, no… hehehe! 10 and a half months and starting to walk. Dad snapped a few photos of you walking and we all watched and cheered as you kept taking a few steps back and forth between us all. It was a great weekend with family – this is what Thanksgiving is all about.
