march madness

We loaded up and traveled down to Houston to watch Baylor basketball in the NCAA tournament. Friday night we went to the sweet 16 game and since Baylor won we stayed for the Sunday night game against Duke.

Lucy was a cutie in her Baylor fan gear and so excited for the game... but not even babies get in free- maybe some day we'll buy you a ticket Lucy.

Our view from the nose bleeds.

We headed down to the Kemah boardwalk on Saturday to enjoy the nice weather.

Maria and Layla played in the fountains

Sam and I at the elite 8 game... Baylor v. Duke.

Off to the pollen-filled south...

Lucy and I celebrated St. Patty's day on an airplane from Dallas to Houston to visit my parents. She didn't make a peep on the plane and has passed the test to fly again. good job Lucy.

While in Lake Charles, we picked up Lucy's Uncle Carson from school and went to watch his baseball practice. Lucy had a fun time playing games with her Papaw Dale.

By the time Lucy got to hang out with her Aunt Melanie we were both suffocating in snot from all of the pollen (and possibly teething??- not sure). But- Lucy was a trooper and managed a few games of peek-a-boo with her aunt Melanie.

Lucy gave her Mimi some really big smiles of gratitude for totally spoiling us on our trip! Come see us in Dallas!

After a crazy plane ride home- (after taxi-ing on the runway for half an hour, just as the pilot was firing up the engines to take off down the run way the woman across the aisle decided she was sick to her stomach and didn't want to make the 40 minute flight to Dallas- so the flight attendant quickly radioed the pilot who turned the plane around and took the woman back to the gate!! I couldn't believe it. I'll admit- I gave the girl the evil eye for making us an hour delayed!!). We arrived back in Dallas to a snowy night and a happy daddy. The reunion between Lucy and Sam was SO sweet. She gave him such big sweet grins the whole time we were in the airport. :)

Spring has sprung here in Dallas- last night while picking up some groceries I tried these little glasses on Lucy and obviously she HAD to have them... so now she's ready for the warm weather.

A couple of weeks ago we went down to Houston so that I could go to my college roommate's baby shower! It was nice to see Kristen even it was for a very short time.

It seems that videos of Lucy have become the most popular feature on the blog so below is a video we'll call "Dad's thumb : microphone or pacifier?" .... and then a clip of Lucy's first time to eat a little rice cereal!
