South Bound 45

Ok, I know that's not how the song goes, but I had to improvise. Michael and I drove down to Houston a few weeks ago to spend some time with Michael's family. Not only has it been a while since we've seen his parents and sisters (yes, all 3 were in town!), but his Uncle David and 3 cousins were also in town. Cousin Josh is a student at Penn State and is interning with Exxon this summer and will be living in Houston. Cousin Courtney is also a student at Penn State and is moving back home for the summer (North Apollo, PA) and helping run the family business with Uncle David and Cousin Lexi. I wish we had a picture of all 16 of us at dinner! The highlight of the night was definitely finding out that there will be a new addition to the Orlowski family coming in December! Congrats Amy and Chris!!

We also had a chance to have lunch with our college friends Phil and Amber. I like to credit Phil for introducing Michael and I in college. Phil and Amber introduced us to this great place, called Little Bigs, with sliders (lil' burgers) and the best sangria slushy drink. So good! Afterwards, we headed to a bar for some drinks before dinner with the family.

A huge thank you to my mom and dad for watching Maximus over the weekend. For those of you that do not know, Max has been sick lately and my poor parents had to shove pills down his throat and clean up multiple messes all over their new house. We are going to see a specialist soon and hopefully Max won't need surgery.

Michael and I got Lexi a gift. I love watching kids open gifts up! By the way, the third picture in the series is Lexi's new way of saying "stinky".

Does she love it?

We took about 6 pictures and this was the best one.
