Kitty Pong

Emil and the cats found a new game today. They named it Kitty Pong.

Dallas Aquarium

After everything was ready for the Condo Warming party on Saturday, Leanne took us to the Dallas Aquarium. We’d only been one other time (with Diane and Jonathan when they still lived in the town she liked to call “Louisville”).
It was super-crowded and full of children whose adults don’t parent them, but we still had [...]

DFW, Again

We are leaving town at 5pm to head back to Dallas. This time, we get to spend the weekend with Leanne and attend her Condo Warming!
yippie!
