Casa de Lewis: Another Family Day

A couple of weeks ago, Cory, Alexa, my mom and I went on our first house hunting adventure. We really want to move to Richardson, so we are keeping our eye out for the "perfect house". We are soon learning (or should I say "re-learning") that there is no such thing. Needless to say, we are definitely enjoying the experience. I won't bore you with the details, but what made it special was the realization that when we do eventually move, we will be able to spend more time with my aunt and uncle. They live in north Richardson and it was really neat only driving roughly 5 minutes to their house after we were done perusing the market. My aunt Ruthie was so excited when we came to visit and it was really great to see Alexa have so much fun with her. We had such a great time. We were also able to visit with my uncle Jim, whom we haven't seen in quite a long time. I very much look forward to spending more time with them. Here's a pic of Alexa with her great aunt Ruthie.

After we visited with my aunt and uncle, we headed over to Maggiano's for Uncle Ron's birthday. Ron is Cory's step-dad Blaine's brother. For those of you who don't know, Blaine is Alexa's B.B. - short for Blainey Boy. He's waaaay too cool to have a "grandpa" name, so we call him BB. We love getting together with his side of the family. Here's the list of attendees: Grammy and BB, Ron and his wife Lynette, Dave (Ron and BB's other brother) and his wife Tammy and last, but certainly not least, Janet - BB, Ron and Dave's mom. We don't get together very often, but that's going to change. We decided that the next get together is going to be at Ron and Lynette's house for a BBQ and pool party - Alexa can't wait. Here are a few pics...
