Well, at the end of our 1st Mother's Day, we received a call that Adrienne's Mom was in the hospital after undergoing emergency surgery. So we decided to hop on the first flight we could get down to Houston. Even though the circumstances that brought us down there weren't good, it was nice that all of our Texas friends and family got the chance to meet Mason sooner than expected. Although traveling with an infant was quite an adventure, Mason did exceptionally well on his first plane rides and adjusted very well to all the unfamiliar surroundings and people while we were down there. On the way down, a flight attendant spilled soda on Mark's lap and in Mason's face, so we were compensated with first class flights on the way home- very nice!
While in Houston, Mason got the chance to meet his godmother, Karen. He also met Adrienne's Aunt Daniele, Uncle Richard, and cousins Laura and Sarah. We also visited with Adrienne's former coach and mentor, Coach Landgraf and his wife Sandi. We really appreciated our friends Annie and Tracey opening their home to us while we stayed there during our time in Houston. Of course it was also wonderful for Mason to spend some more time with Adrienne's Mom- his Meme. Once she was moved out of ICU and started feeling better we were able to bring Mason in to visit with her at the hospital. He was also able to meet Meme's companion Mr. Elkin. Mason met several other family friends during the week, too.
Our trip included wonderful meals at some of our old favorite restaurants, like crab legs and Mexican food. We watched sailboat races and spent quality time with family and friends. By the end of our trip, Adrienne's Mom was out of the hospital and recovering. We hope to possibly return to Houston for another visit at the end of the summer.
