So...every other year the Paulson family gets together for a week to hang out. They do such fun and cool stuff! 4 years ago we went to Colorado and hiked and horseback rode in the mountains. 2 years ago we headed to Bandera, Texas to a Dude Ranch for lots of horseback riding and hanging out. This year we spent the week on Padre Island at a very cool pool and water park resort. We spent most mornings in the pool with the family and then the afternoons were spent napping, such a great vacation!My father-in-law, Bernie, turned 80 and they had a fabulous party for him at the Corpus Christi Art Museum, the weekend before we headed to the Island. Steve had to go to St. Louis for work so he missed out on the festivities of the Island. Luckily, my mom came to Corpus and drove home with me because I don't think I could have packed up the car and gotten so turned around by myself!! Love you Mom!
My mom ended up taking Reagan to Oklahoma with her for the week. It is amazing how quiet and lonely the house is without my little chatty kathy here to keep me company. She has had so much fun though! Last night she caught another catfish with Pops and earlier this week she rode ponies at cousin Courtney's house.
This week alone with Lauren has been so wonderful, she is such a happy girl! She started crawling two weeks ago and is really on the move now! She cut her first tooth last week while we were in Padre and I didn't even realize it! She wasn't too fussy or cranky, nothing like her big sister... Her big thing right now is to pull up and stand. She loves to hold onto someones hands and pull up, we spend most of our days working on that! So exciting! Her daddy has been able to spend a little more time with her these past few days which is so good for them since Reagan usually gets daddy when he walks in the door.
