April 11-13 the rest of the weekend

That evening after the fun at Ft Hood, we headed out to Temple, to see one of my best friends and her hubby, who was down in Texas visiting family. One of our mutual friends hosted a barbeque so that Steph & Justin could see everybody in Temple. It was a lot of fun catching up with everyone. Too bad it couldn't have been longer. John enjoyed playing with Tammy's little girls toys, particularly her walker. He was getting under everyone's feet! Also, it so happened, that Tammy's dad randomly asked me if I was pregnant. I couldn't say no, so everyone there found out that I was. I was hoping not to tell anyone until we told our folks, but I wasn't going to lie. Oh well! The night went by all too fast and then it was over. Unfortunately, even though I brought the camera, I forgot to take pics. :o(
The next morning we left bright and early for Fredericksburg for one of Chris's ROTC buddy's wedding. We made it with plenty of time, but had a hard time finding a fast food restaurant, and ended up barely making it to the wedding, after getting everyone changed (in an itty bitty Subway, mind you-apparently Fredericksburg only has 2 fast food restaurants). I'm sure we were quite the attraction as we took up a table right at the entrance, where Chris was getting his dress blues ready, while John & I were eating. From what I saw the wedding was beautiful. John got a wee bit fussy, so I had to step out into the foyer and play with him. He was thankful when the wedding was over, especially cuz he got to be held by his daddy and play with his shiny buttons & tabs!
We weren't able to stay at the reception for very long as we had set up dinner with some of our soldier friends from San Antonio. Mac was to be in town (he has been in and out of country for the last 2 years, so we were excited to be able to catch him while he swung through). It was another great time of catching up, that once again ended far too soon. John wasn't too excited about staying there, and was starting to get cranky, even though he had lots of fun toys to play with.

Somehow we figured out that John was exactly half of Mac's height, so we had to get a pic of Mac & 1/2 Mac! :o)

We left shortly after church Sunday, and after a brief stop at our house in San Antonio to check on things. Unfortunately we didn't get to spend too much time with my sis and her hubby. :o( It was a whirlwind weekend, but we were glad we made the trip.
