Summer in ATX

Our crew and Aunt April are in full on prep mode for Colorado.  We took a hike into the Greenbelt in search of water.  Granted our first effort failed, we actually found some nice aqua at the Barton Skyway and MoPac entrance, hanging a left at the bottom of the hill, it was only about 10 minutes from the car.  

Follow up that morning with a cruise on Lake Austin with the leading couple from the Jones family and you've got yourself a summer Saturday in ATX.


Happy Half Birthday Thatcher-Mo

My family celebrated half birthdays growing up. 

It was usually something small but special, maybe a half day with just Dad and me, or a half an ice cream sundae. One time I was saving my money for a bike and my parents pitched in the other half. My sisters and I loved the tradition. 

As a parent, half years fell good to. This has been a challenging 6 months. It's been a real milestone for Thatcher too. He always wants to be engaged, or play, or do something!  Enough of this napping all the time!

Unfortunately the adage is true, things aren't the same with the second one.  3 months late, here are some pics of our 2nd boy.  He was born August 13th, 2014  #2Under2ina2x2

Many thanks to my talented sister for the beautiful photos.  Find her here.
