Lunch with Tita Monica in Austin

New Year, New Cupcakes!

The Last Ice Cream

So many times when we went out to eat, the boys got cookies and/or ice cream from the waitstaff.  Which is great and all, but not the usual for our diet.  Here is Jack enjoying the last ice cream of our trip at a little cafe in Lake Charles.

Our Last Morning on Vacation

This is what greets me every morning.  Just wanted to capture all the hair.

Jack loves his oatmeal, but it's pretty messy.

Yay for Beignets!

Of course, we had to have beignets.  We had already been telling Sean and trying to describe the fluffy, deep-fried pillows of dough swimming in powdered sugar.  The boys liked them because they've inherited my love of carbs.

Sweating through the nice walk back to our hotel.

Yummy Pinkberry!

Matthew and I both had heard people raving about Pinkberry and it's all true... it's delicious!

Birthday Dessert!

Tiramisu, green tea moochi, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Jack and His Birthday Cake

Mmmm...  This tower is all mine!

Does anybody want this piece?  I'm getting full.

But I do have a piece in my shirt pocket for later...

Let's Eat!

Chocolate Gelato, Of Course!

I Can Do It Myself!

Sean insists on getting his own ice cream.

Pinoy

Sean enjoys ube (purple yam) ice cream, his Lolo's favorite.

Snack Time!

We tried out a Mexican restaurant here last night and there was a lady who made balloon animals for the kids.  She made a helmet and a sword for Sean.  So this morning, Sean said his head was too big for the helmet and he put it on Jack's head.

Family Picnic with Auntie Gigi

Sean is finishing up the strawberries before we leave.

 Jack is just so yummy!  We found a little park near Sean's school that has a playground and a couple of picnic tables.  Was a beautiful day to just enjoy outside with my cousin Gigi.

Jack Eats Corn by Himself

So far Jack prefers to chomp on the ends instead of the side.

The Aftermath.

Little Jack Loves Corn on the Cob

Lunch with Momma

Had some tasty tofu, salmon, and rice after our checkup.

Corn on the Cob is Great When You're Teething

Jack is ready for real food.
