In my earlier post about Halloween, I posted pictures of my godson’s various costumes over the years. I also posted a picture of my goddaughter’s first Halloween costume. I did not have this picture at the time, but I feel it definately belongs in the collection. This is Joey’s and my nephew, Daniel, in his first Halloween costume. You may recognize it as the same dragon outfit that Asher wore his first Halloween. The Serrins/Springfield clan was good enough to lend the costume to Kay and Daniel. I do not know if it was Rachel or Debra, but one of them took this picture too – thanks y’all! Joey agreed to wear his big dragon costume again.

Last Thursday LD and I went to lunch with Kay and Daniel. We went to Freddie’s on south first. Kay had never been to there and Freddie’s is so kid friendly that I thought we should help her get acquainted with it. We enjoyed some burgers and walked around the playground and took pictures of Daniel. I was a bit restless (the girls had chatted and eaten slowly – I had wolfed down my burger in a few quick bites and was in dire need of a walk to aid my digestion) so I proposed we head over to the park for a stroll.
We breezed over to Zilker and I pulled the car in at the botanical garden. We started (as we often seem to do) on the xeriscape trail and made our way down to the Isamu TaniguchiI Japanese Garden. Daniel napped and we yaked about this and that; you know – babies, jobs, food, family, life. It was the middle of a weekday and it was summer in Austin, so it was hot and there were few other people in the park with us. We rested by the waterfall and cooled off in the under the bamboo. We made our way back up the hill through the rose garden, took some more pictures, and retreated to the comfort of the air conditioned car.
As we pulled out onto Barton Springs road LD suggested that we head over to Austin Baby, a cloth diapers and baby slings shop that Rachel had spoken highly of. It is next door to the Soup Peddler about a block from where we’d had lunch. Kay did a little shopping while Daniel, LD, and I borrowed a changing table and negotiated a fresh diaper. Kay tried on a bunch of slings (using a life size baby doll to get the hang of things). She bought a Moby Wrap – the last picture in the series is Daniel hanging out in the new sling.

Kay, Troy, Mama, LD, and I ate lunch at Little Deli in Crestview on Monday. I had not been over there in a few months and so I did not know that Jean Graham had been hard at work on a beautiful new mosaic mural on the Woodrow Ave. side of the shopping center.
Jean has been providing mosaic lessons and supplies to Brentwood and Crestview residents and this (nearly complete) mural titled the “Wall of Welcome” is the child of those labors.
Here are just a few pictures from this pleasant addition to a pleasant neighborhood.

On Saturday LisaDiane and the Zimmerman family hosted a baby shower for Kay and Andrew at the Zimmerman’s home in south Austin.
We stuffed ourselves on snacks from Central Market, tasty homemade deserts, lime punch, and lemonade. Here are some photos from the party:

On July 4th LD and I had some friends over for a party to celebrate our 9th wedding anniversary. We played games, grilled burgers and hot dogs, made ice cream and mojitos, danced, and socialized well into the night.
We had a terrific time – it was a pleasure to spend time with everyone who came, and food hit the spot. I have finally finished eating the chocolate torte that Billy and Lee brought to the party – gotta remember to return that cake-taker.

Kay, Troy, LD, and I took these pictures in a field of Bluebonnets near Rachel and Debra’s house in Pflugerville on April 16, 2005. Then I took them home, moved them onto the computer and promptly misplaced them. Ten months went by and then, a couple of weeks ago I was cleaning out some files on Continuity’s storage array and found an archive with some image data in it and *voila* the bluebonnet pictures resurfaced. So here they are… some pictures we took last year.

I decided turning 30 would be no problem if I got to have a big party! I even got a fancy party dress for the occation. Lots of food, and a great cake made it even better.
Things got really crazy when I opened my presents to discover that my idle comment about wearing a Wonder Woman costume at the party had been exploited. Mom and Dad sent the costume, and everyone else had fun convincing me to wear it. Thank goodness for pictures, which will preserve the memory forever! We topped it all off with a water balloon fight, and a piñata.

This year Troy, Kay, Mama gave Papa a trip to Austin for his birthday. We did a little scheduling and managed to find a weekend Papa could be away from work and Troy, Kay, and I would all be free – of course it was 2 months after his birthday, but we found one never-the-less.
We took Papa swimming at Barton Springs Pool, toured the new Cabela’s store in Buda, had pizza at Mangia, and took pictures of deer in my neighborhood.

Troy, Kay, Mama, Papa, LD and I enjoyed our Christmas holiday together here in Austin. A week later LD and I held our annual New Years Day party.
I’ve posted several photos from Christmas morning and a few photos of various people lounging after the New Years Day party. Enjoy :-)

We decided to take a trip to the beach. Trusting that the weather in Texas is always warm, we set out for Port Aransas the second weekend of November. Out theory on the weather was proved incorrect, and we had rain, wind and forty degree temperatures!
We also had a great time relaxing together, playing games, walking on the beach and generally kicking back and taking it easy for a few days.
