This past week/weekend we flew to northern Texas (Pottsboro to be exact) to meet our new nephew/cousin. Mr. Owen Robert Anderson was born on December 12th and is now 8 weeks old. We had a great time visiting with family, some old friends, and we even made some new ones along the way. William was very excited to fly in an airplane (although he had already flown 3 times prior this was the first time that he really got into it). He did a wonderful job riding quietly on the plane both there and home again.
We flew into Dallas on Wednesday, met our old friends Matt P and Amy for a late lunch and then headed north to Pottsboro after that. Our time at Kate and Sean’s was very relaxing and we were able to spend a lot of quality time with them, as well as, with Mike’s brother Dave and his wife Adele who live in San Francisco. Unfortunately, there was a little sickness in the air which kept us in the house quite a bit. But on Friday, everyone was feeling well enough to spend a day on the town. We drove into McKinney, and spent a few hours at the pottery store. The boys decorated a plate together and then we all had our own family projects. Sean also celebrated his 28th birthday that day so after we finished with our crafts we went to Sean’s favorite restaurant with friends to celebrate. Saturday evening was spent at Kate and Sean’s house with friends. Matt and Amy drove up from Dallas and Kate/Sean’s best friends (Jenn and Aaron) came over for dinner and a poker tournament. It was a lot of fun.
We had a wonderful time with our family and we miss them all very much. We only wish we all lived closer together*** Owen is a beautiful little boy and William cannot wait until he is old enough so that they can play together. Thanks guys for being such wonderful family, friends, and hosts. We love you all.
***meaning closer together on the west coast.
