I know it's been a while since my last post and when I think about all that has occurred to have kept me away for so long, there really is only one to blame: good ole' San Antone. Braedan and I headed back down south for another extended visit with our San Antonio family and since arriving at the beginning of the month, I feel as if we should have hired someone to keep all of our social outings in order. We have had so much fun visiting with family and friends over lunches, dinners, birthday parties and even a picnic/Easter egg hunt. And the fun is nowhere near stopping as Fiesta just got underway this past weekend. For those of you unfamiliar with it, Fiesta is basically a two-week long party for the city with a series of different festivals and parades held throughout this two-week span. It originated as way to commemorate the heroes of the battles of San Jacinto and the Alamo, although if you talk to any San Antonian during this time he/she will tell you what they know best about Fiesta, which is it is the one time during the year when you can eat, and not to mention drink, to your heart's content and not feel guilty about it. And again, the only one to blame for this is good ole' San Antone.
As we play catch up with family and friends, Braedan has had his own busy agenda within all of these plans. Just the other day he accomplished the true crawling form using his arms and hands to push himself up and get around.
Grandpa and Tia Jacquelyn were also so kind in preparing for our visit that they set up Braedan with his very own digs while we're here. He loves hanging out in his room bouncing in the crib like a little monkey.
Over the weekend we attended one of the largest Fiesta events, Oyster Bake, which happens to be held on St. Mary's campus. I got to enjoy one of the famed culinary treats, Chicken on a Stick, while making a bold fashion statement. I know what you must be thinking, "Where can I get those?" In fact several girls stopped us while there asking that same question. Heavy rain passed through forcing us to be prepared, because there was no way a little bit of rain was going to stop us.
