Breaking Jet Lag in Dallas

It's been 4 days since we arrived in Dallas. Jim's brother and sister-in-law have graciously offered to put us up in their beautiful home as long as we need, though it's somewhat conditional upon Jim's promise not to blare his amplifier as he's testing out his new guitar! No, he didn't bring the amplifier back with us, but a dear friend and guitar enthusiast brought his contraption over, just so that Jim didn't have to face the trauma of playing his guitar at normal human decibels.

We're not doing so great with jet lag. I know its only day 4, but this has been the roughest spell I remember with the girls. They are still waking up for big chunks (4 hours last night) in the middle of the night... and they don't seem to have sufficient reasoning skills at those hours. "You know, even though I can't sleep, I'm happy to let my mommy and daddy sleep...yes, I'll sit here alone in the dark so as not to disturb anyone else..." HA!

A few highlights thus far for the Wallace fam:
-walking barefoot in the soft grass
-yummy Mexican food...endless supply of non-stale tortilla chips and guacamole
-the girls getting lots of play and giggle time with cousins Emma and Alli!

And although the Texas heat is nearly unbearable, you CAN breathe! ;-) Glad you're here!
