Fun in Texas

I am back from Texas.  I went down on Tuesday after my eye doctor appointment.  I went to my daughter, Kayla's house.  Nothing special was going on, our schedules finally meshed and we got a couple of days together.  It was great to see the grandchildren.  I got to their house for lunch and then we went to tour a preschool for Zachary.  He was at ease and very comfortable from the moment we went in.  It looks like it will be a great place for him.  Kayla is going to go back to work part time. 
Kayla had corned beef and cabbage going in the crock pot and dinner was a breeze and yummy.  Steve has margarita making down to a science!  Then Kayla was off to tennis and Madison was off to soccer practice.  I picked Madison up because she wanted me to see her practice, so that left Steve  on KP duty.  Then the kids swam and Steve and I had some time to catch up.  I got to put the kids to be, kisses and hugs all around.  Loved it! 
When the sun was up so was Macie Jane.  She snuck down and got in bed with me.  We got some snuggle time in.  Precious!  We all got up and got ready for a walk.  Kayla was helping me stay with my routine.  I wore my compression sleeve for the first time.  It is not overly uncomfortable.  So off we went with Zachary in the stroller, the girls on scooters, and Kayla and I walking.  The walking trails in her neighborhood are so well planned.  We walked most of it in the shade, walked around a pond and playground area, and back home again.  We were hot!  Kayla made fruit smoothies and into the pool we went!  Oh how refreshing!  We played with the kids and swam and talked and laughed.  I enjoyed being with the so much.  We had been in the pool for awhile when I asked Kayla where the pool boy was to bring us some drinks.  She had us covered.  Popsicles for drinks brought poolside! 
When we got out Kayla talked me into product.  Way cool!  My hair laid down, it was frizzy!  I didn't know that, I have never had frizzy hair before.  Anyone who knows me knows I am not a product type of girl, but I may get some.  Madison and I worked on my folders for school.  I sure am glad I had her help.
My sister came over for dinner.  We tried to get Austin to come over, but we were unable to get an answer.  Kayla fixed manicotti.  Another yummy dinner.  Janet left, played a game with the kids, kids went to bed, Kayla and I shared info on digital scrapbooking, school, and vacation pics, and we looked up and it was midnight. 
Repeat of yesterday, then after the swim we went to Bed Bath and Beyond.  I got fat straws and a dish drying mat.  Out for a quick lunch and all to soon it was time for me to go.  I loaded up and got kisses and hugs all around.  I miss them all, but I am glad to be home.
