Our New Entryway

Thanks to our city water service program, we got two, free, water-saving toilets. So, what are we to do with the ones we replaced? Well, we can think of a couple things to do with them. This is a running joke here in S. Texas. In some neighborhoods you'll find "flower pots" like these. Maybe when we replace our bathtub, we'll have to look for a statue of the Virgen de Guadalpe. I bet our new neighbors would love it.



Violi's dad came over last week while Anna was in town. He brought a truckload of memorabilia from the ladies' childhood. The sisters were talking about taking their old quinciniera dresses and hitting the riverwalk after the kids go to bed.



Yesterday we took a trip to the Witte Museum. They had an exhibit displaying the works and ideas of Da Vinci. Pretty neat stuff. Elliot liked it because you could touch most of it. We also got to try out their "Treehouse" with exhibits that are designed for children. He's having more fun at places like this since we can let him run around and explore more now and doesn't have to stay in his stroller as much.
