Upcoming Week in Houston

Jonathan and I leave Monday for a road trip to Houston. It will be our last trip there before Matthew & Courtney go off to college, which is why we are going. Jonathan is always so excited to go, and in the past of course M & C have been at school during the day, and Kathleen & John have been at work. So this little fella wakes up in the morning and wants to know who’s in the house, and I have to tell him it’s just the two of us. Then we have a good time during the day, but he’s really just waiting for everyone else to come home.

So this trip is going to be a ball for him. On Tuesday I’m having lunch with Amanda (Mims) Campbell, and instead of having to tag along with Mummy, Jonathan is getting to stay and have Courtney all to himself, and Matthew too if he’s around. I told him that as he was getting ready for bed this evening, and he thinks that is fantastic. On Wednesday, we are going to the Butterfly Center and the planetarium, and current status is that both Matthew & Courtney are coming with us. (I think my presence is actually kind of superfluous, as far as Jonathan’s concerned!) Thursday we shall be going over to Tim & Felicia’s to swim; I heard from Tim this evening that he busted his b*tt on the pool this weekend and it is clean as a whistle, so we are looking forward to that—a nice relaxing day without having to deal with any nasty Houston traffic. Friday we’ll head back to Austin.
