All Aboard!

Yesterday afternoon we took Spence on his first train ride. So it was just the Houston Metro Light Rail, but you have to start somewhere. The boys were so excited as they waited for the train. Coleman's arms were flapping with anticipation!

Waiting for the train to take us downtown!

It's gotta be here soon!

This is so exciting!

Spence says, "I loved my first train ride!"

We rode downtown, then went to an Italian restaurant. It turned out to be a little fancier than I thought it was going to be, but we were eating dinner at 5:15 so there were only a few other people there. The boys did great! I remember not long ago thinking we were never going to be able to go in public again because it was so hard to go places with the boys. They were all over the place and crazy. Now I laugh because we're finally at a stage where they can sit through a meal and it's even enjoyable and we're about to start all over again by adding another baby to the mix! Oh well, I'll settle for eating all my meals at home with my crazy bunch any day!

About 2 1/2 years ago we took Coleman on the light rail for his first train ride. It was a little less than a month before Spence was born, so Coleman was 21 months old. Here are a few pictures.


It's so neat that he can now share these experiences with his little brother. They had the best time together. I guess in another two years we'll do it all again!
