College Station

About two weeks ago, Alex made his first trip up to College Station. We went up to take Uncle Sam out to lunch for his birthday. We went to Koppe Bridge for a delicious hamburger and fries. Alex was awesome and slept through the whole meal! That's a rarity for him. Usually going out to eat is a trigger for him to start screaming as much as possible. Maybe, it depends on the restaurant though....just maybe he was trying to tell us he likes going to bar and grills rather than to the Olive Garden!

Here's a picture of the two of them when he finally woke up in the car:



After lunch and a trip to the mall for birthday presents, Sam had to go to class. We had planned to walk around campus, but it was a really nasty, rainy, cold day out and our plans were spoiled. We did still get to go see Gabe though! Gabe is a good friend of Jeremiah's from grad school and one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. He is still there at A&M working on his PhD...lucky him!! We picked him up on campus and went to Starbucks to hang out with him for a little bit. Alex had fun meeting him!! Hopefully, we'll get to see him again soon!! :)

Here are the two of them. Alex stole Gabe's hat...I think it's because he was jealous of all Gabe's nice thick hair and he was trying to cover up his poor little bald head!! =)
