San Antonio 2009

march 21-25

We went to visit Chris' brother and family a few weeks ago to beautiful San Antonio. (I was a bit sad that they moved from San Francisco cause I fell in love with the city, but change is good right)?? This was my first trip to Texas, and Morgie's first plane ride. I was really nervous cause I didn't know how she would act on the plane, if her ears would hurt, or if she was going to be naughty. Luckily, she did very well with minimal crying. We had such a good time and can't wait to get back to visit again!

The Riverwalk

Morgan absolutely loved the boat ride, she was just talking and talking just about the whole time.

She must have worn herself out, luckily she had Daddy to rest on! (She melts my heart).

Lance and me

As most of you know, Lance Armstrong is my favorite. The wax figure of him does not do him justice at all!

While we were in San Antonio Morgan just about learned how to crawl. Here are a few pics of her trying to stay on her knees.

My little peanut is growing up way too fast, I can't believe that she is 8 months! She is just so much fun and I have enjoyed every stage so far. What the crap did Chris and I do before we had Morgan bless our lives?

The biggest scare of my life!!

We also had our first scare with Morgan while we were visiting in San Antonio. At breakfast the morning after we got there, I was teasing Chris about not giving Morgan big enough pieces of biscuit to chew on. So, I took over and gave her a bigger piece. She was loving the biscuits but on like the third bite, she started to choke. This was so scary, but luckily I was able to give her some back-blows and it came right out. I didn't know that my sweet sister-in-law was already on the phone with 911. She told them that Morgan was fine and that the biscuit came out, but it was their protocol to send the paramedics over to check her out anyways.

Here come the sirens!!

Checking out her vital signs

I feel so blessed that everything was okay with Morgan and that even though I was scared, I knew what to do (I won't complain now that I have to take CPR classes every year for work) ;)

Morgan with her cousins (Check out the difference in their skin) Morgan is so light and Anja and Nikola have such dark features. This pic just cracks me up.
