Sorry we've been so quiet lately. Being new parents is hard. Between Isaac needing us to help his baby brain development, Aaron's new job, and my crippling anxiety, we haven't had much time for our blog. Please accept our apologies.
In the past two weeks, much has happened. Isaac has hit his 5 month mark, there are a few new dolls in the shop, and Aaron's birthday was yesterday.
Aaron turned 21! Whoohoo! Booze, and irresponsible drinking, and so on and so forth.
Not really. He doesn't have much of a taste for the stuff, but I will let him tell you his thoughts on this milestone in our next post.
Today Aaron and I spent the day out together. Isaac stayed at Aaron's parents' house so we went out to Houston's own Discovery Green Flea market. Discovery Green is a park located in downtown Houston, right next to the George R. Brown Convention Center. It's a nice little patch of green that offers nearby families and office workers a respite from all of the concrete. Aaron and I decided to take the MetroRail to the Green, so we wouldn't have to leave the car unattended downtown. We discovered that there was unexpected (to us) maintenence being done to the Rail, but the 15 block walk there was well worth it.
There were fewer vendors than we expected, but the ones that were attending were amazing. All of the merchandise being sold there were produced by local artists. One of the vendors was even selling terra cotta replicas of Chinese soldiers; salvaged from the now closed down Forbidden Gardens.
Aaron snagged a bottle of Peach infused Balsamic vinegar from Texas Hill Country Olive Co, one of their most popular flavors, as a late birthday present for himself. It's really great, I suggest you go check out their store.
After we left the Market, we stopped by the Galleria to go to the Sanrio shop. I have to admit; I really love Hello Kitty. Can you imagine my excitement when I found out that today was Sanrio Fun Day? And that Kitty HERSELF WAS THERE IN PERSON? They gave me a Hello Kitty hat to wear and I didn't even care that no other adult was wearing one. If it wasn't for my distrust of costumed people, there would be proof that I met Hello Kitty. For now, this picture of a stuffed piggy that Aaron got me will have to do.
That's all for tonight, Fanatics. We will have some exciting news coming up soon, so stay tuned!
What a shame that the forbidden gardens had to close. If it had been closer to town I think it would have done much better. It's too bad I'm not there to scoop up any of those 'refugees' (love that name) for myself.
