Omaha

I am backtracking a bit here. A couple of weeks ago we went to see Mike's family in Omaha. We got to see both of Mike's sisters, our gorgeous niece, our brother-in-law, and Mike's mom! It was a wonderful weekend filled with baby time, trips to the zoo, laughing, eating, wine, and good conversation.

I wish our trip could have lasted longer, but sadly, it was only for a long weekend. Hopefully we can all get together again soon!

One of the highlights of the trip was our trip to the zoo. The Omaha zoo is pretty amazing! They have a jungle, a great aquarium, and loads of other animals. My favorites were the penguins and the baby gorilla.

Dead Dog

My poor shoes. I found the chewed one in the backyard. :/ I was not happy.

Dog in jail.

Too Cute

Look at this cutie! I tried to take pictures of Duke, but he wouldn't stop barking. Rude!

Mike and I headed down to South Padre Island last weekend. We had planned on staying a week and spending the holiday there, but hurricane Alex cut our trip short.

I went down a few days early to spend time with my family and Mike joined me on Saturday. We headed down to the island to stay at my dad's place. Thanks, Dad!

Sunday we went fishing in the bay with my dad. We didn't catch anything and had to end up coming back early because the boat was taking on water. Scary!

Monday was spent lounging on the beach and allowing Shah to swim in the ocean for the first time. He loved it! We ended up coming back on Tuesday because of the weather, but had a great time anyways.

Our last night there. We got a drink at Pirate's Landing.
