Baylor's plate has arrived!

I actually just found the Thank you card all ready to be mailed with a stamp on it even...

 

I was holding out to add a picture of the plate hanging which it is but that picture might not be taken until 2013!

Baylor's 1/2 Birthday

We love to celebrate and can pretty much find a reason to celebrate everyday!  This was Baylor's 1/2 birthday party... Baylor unfortunately was napping but we did a bang up job celebrating for him :)

 

 

Thanks for the cupcakes Grandma S.

Oklahoma!

On Black Friday Tracy scored us some excellent tickets to see "Oklahoma" at 5th Ave.  It was a great show!!

Mission Road

Our last full day in San Antonio, we drove the old mission road.

We started at the southernmost Mission Espada 

Each mission had these great little diagrams so you could picture the full site

Elle pointing out the "ladybugs" (all insects, ants, spiders, bees, flys, etc. are ladybugs) 

 

You could still see all the old foundations and a few walls here and there.

We actually got the girls to stand still for a second

This was one of the smaller missions 

After passing by the Mission San Juan (under construction) we stopped at Mission San José.  This mission has the visitor center for the entire San Antonio Missions National Historical Park

 

This mission was much bigger than all the others.
