Rodeo Time

The Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo kicked off last night, with the World’s Championship Bar-B-Que Contest, which the 3 of us will visit tomorrow. Cowboy Al is looking forward to it:

Japanese Garden

Recently the 3 of us went for a walk round Houston's Hermann Park. We'd being intending to visit the Body Works exhibit at the Museum of Natural Science, but it was rammed with people. We took a stroll around the reflecting pool instead and came across the Japanese Garden. I knew it existed, and had even been in before, but could never remember where it was exactly. I had wandered around the park looking for it before (because using Google would be cheating), and was beginning to think I'd imagined the place. Anyway, now we know. It's a lovely, peaceful place and I look forward to going back in the summer when everything's in bloom.

Solid Food Update

Now going down rather well...

Happy New Year

Hope you all had a good one. Nikki and I hosted a Hogmanay party for friends and neighbours. Being busy hosting, we managed to take about 4 photos all night. Here's me with Ches up the road, shortly after the single malts came out around 11.

And here's some of the evidence of the evening. Mothers, please note the large amount of water bottles and fizzy water cans.

Thirsty Boy

Hmm, that milk was okay, but I'm still thirsty...

What's Daddy drinking? That looks gooooood...

Come on, give me a little sip!

First Food

Alasdair attempted to eat his first solid food on Christmas Day. It was not entirely successful:

The Empire Strikes Back

The Southern branch of Alasdair's family are officially in the game.

What a lovely pair of shoes. It would be such a shame if he went splashing through puddles in them.
