Houston

We went to Houston last week for 2 reasons...business and pleasure. Vafa had a 2 day conference and of course we visited his family. 1 very special reason we made a trip to TX is to meet our new nephew baby Alex! Congrats to Valeh and Leo! He is precious and we love him so much!

We did a lot of visiting, going to the park, eating, and relaxing. Vafa and I even got to go to 2 movies while we were there and I went to the spa for a much needed massage and pedicure at the Houstonian! Thanks Mama Shahnaz for all the babysitting.

While we were at Valeh's house we found out that Naison loves stairs. Then at Vafa's folks house we found our he really likes going down the stairs...a lot! He did it over and over and over again.

Here is a video of him coming down the stairs...his laugh is so sweet...I never get tired of this!

I tried to go running every day at the park...and I actually did most of the days. It was nice weather in the mornings so we went usually after a fabulous breakfast prepared by Mr. Jim.

We had lots of fun playing and visiting with all of the family. We missed seeing Neda and wished Victor could have stayed longer.

Naison also loved watching Mama Shahnaz's "tu tu's"...Farsi word for birds.

Oh...almost forgot...Naison started walking...he loves going from furniture to furniture. It is so stinkin cute. You can tell how proud of himself he is.

....and here he is the day before Halloween in his little "My 1st Halloween" outfit.

As always, we had a blast and can't wait for the next trip! Maybe our next TX trip will be to Austin...and hopefully the flight home will be better than this one!
