Madeline and I spend the week in Dallas last week visiting family. We had so much fun and Madeline was so happy to spend time with the Trawnik/Walker/Barton/Garten family. I love living in San Diego but I truly miss my family and I wish that Madeline had more family close by.

We got to spend a whole day with my cousin Carrie and her new baby Zoe. Zoe is so sweet and beautiful. There is nothing better in the world than having a little baby sleeping on your chest. I'm not sure Madeline liked my holding little Zoe though; she stared at me very intently when I was holding Zoe. Don't worry Madeline, Mommy is not bringing another baby home yet :)

Madeline and I also spend a lot of time hanging out in my dad's back yard where he has built this incredible waterfall and koi pond. She really got a kick out of watching the fish swim by. We also started naming all the fish; so far there is Goliath, Bandit, Zorro, Lola (my favorite), Lucky, Gabriel, Lucy, and Obama. There are several other fish to name and lots of other baby fish that will need names in the future. Madeline is going to love hanging out Opa's house!

Thanks so much to Opa, Mama, Mama Billie, Gram, Blake, Carrie, Dan, Taylor, Zoe, and Lulu for having us! We love you!!!
