So we are eating some crow . . . and hopefully, some really good Mexican food. Why? Because the prodigal Bakers (plus one) are returning to the Lone Star State. Many of you may remember our vocal departure only two years hence, when we SWORE we were finished with Texas and set out for greener pastures. As it turns out, the green lies in Texas after all, as Quinn has accepted a great job at Cox Smith Matthews in San Antonio. Allegedly, they are already sending him some money so I guess the deal is sealed.
I am really speechless on this subject, so you know I MUST be in shock... it'll be great to be back around all the family on both sides. Can't fight fate, I guess. I am excited about Quinn's job, it is a great opportunity and the legal market will be easier for me to break into as well (should I ever decide to work outside of the food service industry). My son will be a Texan but then I like his father and Nana all right so I guess that isn't so bad, hee hee. And of course what really tips my hand is the Mexican food and SWEET TEA. Texas, here we come . . . but not until August. As I typed that I realized I am moving to Central Texas, in AUGUST, and I am happy about it. Man, I should really get my head checked!
Maybe I am feeling so good because John finally decided after ten weeks on this earth that night is for sleeping. He and I go to bed between 8:30-9:30 and he doesn't wake up until around 6:00! He is still nursing at night some but we have figured out how to do it without either of us really waking up. Then he gets up and plays for an hour and a half or so and takes a morning
nap so we are getting some real sleep at last. John also takes actual naps now where he sleeps longer than 35 minutes so the days are better, too. Best of all he loves to play and laugh and we are having so much fun!

This Baker family member is so glad you are coming back to Texas. The road between Dallas and San Antonio will be oft traveled. Yes, it is hot in August, but we do have air conditioning and malls and nice winters. And good Mexican food. And lots of cold iced tea.
Give taht sweet little guy lots of kisses and hugs for me.
Love, Nana
Hooray for returning to Texas!
The road will be well travelled, indeed. This is big news, because this means Uncle Andy gets to teach JD some sports. At 10 weeks, I figure he's about ready for soccer and baseball variants (t ball, whiffle ball -- we'll save baseball for his first birthday). We'll work on the art of being a point guard and football (flag football, non contact until his 2nd birthday) after that. Let me know if he shows interest in raquetsports. I see him more as a football/basketball guy, but you never know when the call of the shuttlecock will ring in your ears.
