Fun Times in Dallas (March 16 - 18)

We had several fun filled days in Dallas. Monday, March 16 consisted of a playdate with Josh's sister and our niece and nephew. Our niece Halle is 2 1/2 years old and ADORES Lilly Anna! It's so sweet to see Halle be so gentle with her. LA loves her big cousin, too! Cason just turned 1 and is a handful! He's a real Momma's boy! He's also very sweet just like his big sister.
Tuesday, March 17 was the most gorgeous day! My two friends named Emily and their children (Travis - 1, twins Kate and Jack- 2 months) and a few other moms and kids met at the park for a playdate. Our family doubled the size of the group - Heather, Halle, Cason, Grandmommy, Josh, and his cousin Lauren also went. We had the best time! We brought a picnic lunch and chased the babies around. What fun! LA did a mid-playdate wardrobe change because we were worried she would get too much sun...

We then met my friend Meredith and her 21 month old son Peyton at the neighborhood playground after LA's afternoon nap.

Then Josh and I had a fun date night with our friends - Mary Marshall & Ryan Martinez, Megan & Travis Stein, Meredith & Marshall Yates and Emily & Reid Wakefield at Hattie's. Grandmommy (Josh's mom) did an excellent job watching Lilly Anna! Thank you so much for watching her so we could catch up with our dear friends!!

Wednesday, March 18 was also beautiful. Our dear old friends Kassie and Justin (a.k.a. Wattie) Watson drove from Texarkana to see us and meet Lilly Anna. They have two precious boys - Carter 5 and Cole 3. We went back to the same park and watched the boys play. Wattie and Josh were college roommates and played football together at Austin College. He and Kassie are two of the nicest people on earth! They also have the most amazing Texas accents (next to their son Carter!)

My friend Tina stopped by for a quick visit and cuddle time with LA!
Then Thursday we left for a few nights in Fort Worth. On the way we stopped by to see our friends Ryan and Mary Marshall. They both work for Southwest Airlines so we stopped by their office. LA got a picture with them and Herb, the founder of SWA.Here are a couple of fun pics of LA with her Grandmommy and Granddaddy!
