Nice visit

Well, we sent Mom & Dad home today. They came in for a visit last Monday and I think we all had a really nice time. Mom was afriad Max wouldn't remember her when they got here, but they had hardly been on the ground 10 minutes before she was holding him and carrying him out of the airport. Some highlites of the trip:

• Max laughing. There are some really great pictures where you can see he was just having a ball laughing with Gramma and Chief.
• Two new teeth. Yep, our little guy started cutting teeth! He was playing with a spoon and we heard a little 'clink' and sho'nuf, there was a little tooth poking out. By the next day, there were two. We'll post some pictures as soon as we can - he doesn't like us to fool with them too much.
• New blinds/curtains for the sliding glass door in the kitchen. Thanks to Chris and Dad for hanging the track & to Mom for going with me on trip #2 to Ikea for more supplies.
• Trip to Shiner. Beautiful day, fun with family and free beer - doesn't get much better than that.
• Another birthday. Sure beats the alternative. My friend Jessica threw a really great party & I was surrounded by friends and loved ones - not a bad way to ring in another year.
