Heather and James Come to Texas

We had another James in the house last week! My friend Heather got a new job and is occasionally required to travel to Dallas. I don't know if she's thrilled about working again, but I think it's pretty great because we get to pretend we're in college again and chit chat, cook, and watch movies. It was so fun to see her again and to see her little man, James, play with Hazel. They're only a month apart, and they make quite the cute couple. Unfortunately I didn't get to spend too much time with James as Hazel was extremely possessive. Little does she know we plan on having more children down the road.
Heather is from California and lives in Arizona now, so I had to expose her to some good BBQ for her first trip to Texas. I brought her to Rudy's because I love their turkey, spicy chop, and BBQ sauce. We have similar tastes, so she loved it just as much. Another hit was the chicken empanadas. We made them from scratch, and they were worth it because little James looved the filling - spicy pepper jack cheese and all. We also made homemade vanilla ice cream and mixed in my favorite -- cinnamon. Mmm. Heather was a convert.

Here are our cute little munchkins!

We had so much fun! Hopefully we get to see them again soon!
