Houston in pictures
I want to share my favorite photo first – out of chronological order but it is my blog so I can do what I want. I mentioned that Emma was a fan of Sabrina – but Emma moves fast so documenting it wasn’t easy. But I finally got her in action – this photo is the best of the whole trip:
It is hard to believe one photo can contain so much cute! Okay, back to a more orderly picture show.
Sabrina enjoyed the wide open floor space in Abuela’s family room.
But also appreciated the table to hang on to:
She thought the booster seat was a pretty cool alternative to the high chair:
I’ve seen this darling 1st birthday party hat around blog world. We came upon it in a party store and I thought better late than never so we snapped a photo:
Then I was tempted by this Thankgiving head band but she wouldn’t keep it on longer than 15 seconds and I couldn’t stop laughing so probably a silly purchase:
The Houston Aquarium was pretty lame I must say. But the Emma/Sabrina lovefest was worth the price of admission (that and getting to meet E’s very cool parents):
The touch a stingray experience had a little tunnel you could crawl into and watch from under the water:
I’m noticing in every photo of myself these days, I always have spots on my clothes. Maybe when she gets into high school I can be spot free again.
The aforementioned way cool parents of Emma. Is it wrong that the aquarium has a seafood restaurant?
Our attempt at a little group photo:
Miss Sabrina enjoying a park across from the aquarium while we waited for our ride:
And finally a couple with Abuela and Sabrina:
The flight home today was LONG. Sabrina wasn’t being her usually easy going self at all but her “bad” is probably most kids normal so I won’t really complain.
We miss you Abuela!
I love all the pics, but I agree that first one contains way too much cute for words!!!! Looks like you guys had a great trip!!!!!
What great, great pics!
No fair, I wanna meet Carla and Emmabug. You guys look like you are having a blast! Welcome back!!

Thanks for the pics!!!!!!!!!!
That close-up of Sabrina in the stroller is AWESOME!!!!
I laughed at the turkey one. Hmmmm, I’ve been looking for something for Miss G for Thanksgiving…. she’d hate me for it, but tempting!
I cracked up at the thought of a seafood restaurant at an aquarium…it does seem a little ironic.
I’m glad to see that Miss E. was sporting a tat for the day!!! 🙂
Atleast you know the seafood is fresh. gah.
Sabrina’s looks are really changing. She is looking like such a big girl!
The first photo has to be the cutest photo I have ever laid eyes on. Thanks for sharing it.

OMG! IT has been forever since I’ve seen Emma – She is getting so big!! Those two are super cute together!!
My Two Favorite Guate-tots together at last!!
Great pictures and I’m so glad you all got to hang out!!
OK, the turkey head band was almost cruel for the enjoyment I got out of it. She will hate you for that one day!
My favorite was of her enjoying the open space. She looked so happy!
Glad you are home. Traveling with a child is never easy! You do well.
Michelle… I just love your smiling little Sabrina! Wish I had more time to visit with you at Guatoberfest, but literally felt more like a stalker when you arrived and said hi to Sabrina with your hubby first! LOL
And, enjoy those spots on your shirt… all too soon, you will be spot free and missing all those slobbery baby moments.

Those two babies kissing…I LOVE IT.
Next time: Galveston for aquariums. Just a short drive from Houston and way better.
Love the pics! The first one of Emma kissing Sabrina is just so adorable!
I have to say I might feel a little guilty eating seafood at an aquarium.
Me again.
How nice that you and Carla got to meet each other! I’m so envious~
I love Sabrinas smile. Her whole face lights up! I also have spots on my clothes daily. I can’t seem to leave the house without them these days. The picture of Sabrina and Emma is adorable, I can see why it’s your favorite.
Oh my goodness…I did not think that one could possibly cram so much cuteness into one post! I want to squish both of them! : P Looks like a super fun visit!
Hey, I am lovin’ Miss Sabrina in a barrette…way cute! Sabrina is becoming even more and more beautiful…she really is.
Much love to ya! God bless.
P.S. I have liked each and every blog buddy that I have ever met “in person”…adoption-related or not.
