oh boy oh boy have I been lazy!!

All right already, I can take a hint. Baby pictures on their way, and first off are a bunch from our trip to Austin, (which we got back from THREE WEEKS AGO!!) I apologize, especially to all you grandparent readers out there looking for your Natalie fix. I won't bore you with my myriad excuses, and I'll just get down to putting up the pictures!

Day 1 we met at Papa Ev and Mama Elaine's for dinner.

Day 2 we met for lunch near the river. The big girls took Natalie all over the dock and I watched from the shore planning my rescue if Natalie fell in.

Then we went bowling where Natalie proceeded to change the scores. Another strike for Daddy? I don't remember that one....

Nap time.
And then on to Papa Ev and Mama Elaine's for a photo shoot, (that's where the pic from the last post came from!!)

Day three we met out on the lake for a boat ride and swim. After we parked for the swimming we took this life vest off of Natalie. She was miserable in it - could barely reach her mouth!!

And you know how she likes her grub!

That night, after a good, long nap, we met for dinner again. The kids found this room off on the side of the restaurant to play in after dinner. Natalie had fun running around it in circles.

The next day we met for breakfast burritos.

And that afternoon we met at the pool. Here's Emma setting Natalie up for a run down the slide.

The next morning we met Mama Sally for breakfast before we were to head out of Austin for the beach portion of our trip.

And a quick stop off at the house to visit Carmal, (or Darmal according to Natalie - whenever she sees a picture of a dachshund she says "Darmal!"

And then we were off to the beach! Check back tomorrow for some more pictures!
