Happy New Year!

Well Happy New Year from the Texas Newmans...Russell, Paige, Bryce, Ivy, & Josie! This last week we had 2 honorary "Texas Newmans" when Unca Spencer and Aunt Joohwie came to visit. In fact, since they left on Thursday, Ivy has been looking everywhere for Joohwie...Joohwie? Joohwie?!?!?!

Spencer and Julie spent a nearly a week hanging out in the 'balmy' (well, compared to NY anyway) Texas winter. This trip was a mini vacation for them at the Casa de Paige bed and breakfast. Julie got to relax a little while we put Uncle Spencer through the real "what to expect when you're expecting" boot camp. He learned the ins and outs of trains, trucks, baby dolls, piggy backs, and piggy fronts. In fact, he did such a good job we thought about renting him out....look out for the Uncle Spencer doll coming Holidays 2010.
Well...we were so busy having a good time we only took these 2 pictures to chronicle their visit. So, to make up for our lack of photographic enthusiasm, I will pictographically describe their trip using generic pictures from the internet.

We started out by hopping in the And heading to a family party in San Antonio at
After we wore out our guests with family we took them to the Crown Jewel of their trip...a visit to
where we ate Monday, we hopped back in the And went down the road to
In Gruene, we shopped at the General Store and bought some treats. After that we headed to for some more Since the original point of this visit was to spend time with us and Juile's brother, Tuesday would have been the day Spencer and Julie headed to Michael and Amanda's to visit with them and their daughter. However, Michael and Amanda now live back in NY, so with a day to kill they drove to San Antonio to see And spent a romantic evening at the Hyatt Resort
(Resort pictured may not be the Hyatt; People pictured may not be Spencer or Julie; Romantic evening is implied)

After a nearly a week of travel and eating it was time to send them back to NY. It was a great visit and we'll do it again after Bryce and Ivy's little cousin is born.

Russell...you've got a budding career as a copywriter in advertising if you ever choose to go that route.
