Hello, Hansens

Last week, we had a visit from Joe's parents, Grandma and Grandpa Hansen. It was spring break for Grandma, which coincided with Dottie's spring break. It was so fun to have them.

They finally got to meet Baby Ruby, go to Seaworld with us, go to the Riverwalk and Alamo, and of course, eat out a lot. Joe and I realized that most of our "extra" money goes to eating out. We should probably do something about that, but why cook when you could be eating better food somewhere else made by someone else?

I didn't get that many pics, because I had to think and act while Ruby was cooperating. But here's Grandma with Ruby:



Elliot reaching in for a touch, as usual. I was thinking yesterday about the 5 love languages, and Elliot's love language is definitely touch. And boy, does Ruby know it.

And the Riverwalk. That's me and Ellioto on the bridge.
The fam coming down an elevator on the Riverwalk:
There's this cool glass shop on the Riverwalk, and my kids are always fascinated by this giant sculpture that looks like a bunch of candies plastered together. I don't know what it's called, but I think it should be called "A Kid's Dream Come True."
And this is from awhile ago, but this is a frequent evening look for me. Ruby strapped to my body with me trying to get her to sleep. She lasted about 5 minutes after this picture was taken, I recall.

We miss you, Grandma and Grandpa! Thanks for coming to visit!

Ruby had a very sweet smile on her face in Grandma Hansen's arms. Miss you all!

Our extra money goes to eating out too. I enjoy food to much and it always tastes better when I don't have to cook it. I'm glad you had a good time with your in-laws.

Eating out is wonderful; I don't blame you. I despise cooking. You are all looking very well and happy - glad to see. :)
