Texas

As promised, here are many photos from our Texas trip. Kayla and I had a great time. I wish Texas were a little closer to Wisconsin!

Erin and Brian with Kayla

Kayla loved this little doggie at our lakeside picnic

Brian swears that it was all the practicing with him that lead Kayla to take her first steps yesterday :)

We tried to get all four babes to look, but it just wasn't going to happen (Lily, Maeve, Kayla & Eli)

Just the girls (Eli didn't sit still for very long)

These four were all adopted through the same agency and were at the same care center in Addis Ababa before coming home with us

Baby girls chatting about something

The zoo really tired Kayla out

Picnic at the zoo (thanks, Joanna)

Beautiful Japanese garden

Petting zoo--Kayla was not a huge fan

At the Stockyards in Ft. Worth. Kayla's a cute little cowgirl and I even tried red cowboy boots on her. I was tempted to but them, but just couldn't justify the $40 for shoes she'd only wear a few times!

Swimming at 6:30 pm at Erin's old apartment complex. It was so warm and Kayla never can resist the water!

It really was a great trip! Kayla was great on the plane--napped for most of both flights. We'd love to make it an annual thing, but we'll see.
