Houston

June 1-6, we took a family trip to Houston for Uncle Matty's graduation from high school. We're so proud of him and it was a fun trip home, as always. Lost of going, going, going and it's always a relief to have Grammie on hand for the early mornings! :)

Our first full day there was spent at the pool due to the 100 degree heat. Man, I forgot what that felt like - brutal! I can't complain though - I've been begging for summer for two months now :) Mike made tons of fun of me b/c I just can't be pleased when it comes to the weather. Is 80 and sunny all the time too much to ask? Sheesh....

We got to spend time with my grandparents - Sofia's great grandparents - which was of course very special. They love her and really enjoyed watching her stumble around and talk and talk and get into everything at my parents' house.

It was awesome that we got to spend time with my bff Patricia's daughter and her sister and her daughter as well. So special and so much fun - the older the girls get, the more fun it is. I still can't believe we all have girls! I love it. They are pretty funny all together, and I can only imagine what kinds of things they'll get into together in years to come.

Lastly, was Matty's graduation. Such an important day and our family could not be more proud of him. I can't even believe he's already going off to college. I seriously remember taking him to his first day of kindergarten with my mom. I started college the next week! So proud of my little brother.

Sofia was a perfect angel at graduation, despite totally skipping her afternoon nap. She was a trooper overall. I know I always say that but I keep just waiting for that meltdown when she's had it! She also did so great on both flights there and back which is ALWAYS a relief. She seems to be lulled to sleep by takeoff and when she gets up we just have to make sure to have lots of milk, snacks, and books on hand. Such a seasoned traveler!
