Texas Fun

We spent six weeks in Houston, reconnecting with friends, enjoying the glorious weather that is Texas winter, and visiting all our favorite places and restaurants. This is likely our last extended stay in Houston forever, and we are so thankful for all the wonderful friends that hosted us and made our last weeks memorable.

Goodbyes

Our Singapore chapter is soon beginning. While we are excited for the new experience, it was sad (and a bit chaotic) to say goodbye to our lives in Texas for a while.

Snow in Texas!

Snow in Texas, especially Houston, is a pretty big deal. When forecasts started predicting snow a few days out, I rolled my eyes, but it turns out they were right! I got just as excited as a native Texan about it, and Emmeline didn't have to wait until Wisconsin to see some snow.

Tour de Parcs: April Edition

We didn't make it to as many parks this month. Between moving, sickness, and Easter, it was busy!

Tour De Parcs: March

I recently grabbed a copy of The Woodlands Township’s parks, thinking it would be fun to visit them all with Emmeline. Well, I had no idea how many parks are in The Woodlands: 139! So, slowly, we are making our way through the parks that have playgrounds (about 85). Here’s the ones from March!

Bluebonnets

When you live and Texas and have kids, I’m pretty sure it’s an unwritten law that you have to take a picture of your kid(s) in a field of bluebonnets. So, I set off to do that.

Halloween Festivities

90 and sunny sure doesn't feel like Halloween, but at least there's less humidity? Texas falls are quite brutal, but that didn't stop us from having lots of Halloween fun! Emmeline still is a bit young to truly understand Halloween, but she LOVES pumpkins, cats, spiders, and ghosts this year. Her favorite books recently have been Halloween ones, so I think it's definitely a holiday she's going to love as she gets older!
