Baby Vivien's Baptism

We went to see Chunny and Vivien for her baptism in June. She has changed so much and gotten prettier and prettier each time we see her.

Proud Mama, Sunny

Aubry's Ballet Recital

Aubry took ballet classes this spring and participated in a recital in May. Here we are at the dress rehearsal.

Now the night of the actual recital... not taking it very seriously...

Mother's Day

We went to Becker Vineyards in Fredericksburg with the Slocums to celebrate Mother's Day. We had a really nice time with Tom and Claire and their 3 girls, Gabby, Lainey and Cadence.

Sierra and Malia's visit for Easter

This Easter Sierra and Malia came to Austin to visit us! Here are some highlights from their visit...

Our first adventure was to climb Enchanted Rock. I was impressed with the kids' ability to scale this thing both quickly and with really crappy shoes on. Aubry even got up without being carried. Sierra and Jude set up a picnic while the rest of us went up to check out the view.

Aunt Sierra and Judebug

Our second funventure was strawberry picking at Sweetberry Farms. We made homemade jam with the strawberries we picked. I gotta say, making jam is so easy and tastes much better than the store bought stuff.

Judebug (almost 9 months) and momma

they were getting really sick of getting pictures taken... too bad!

next stop... Hamilton Pool, a natural spring/waterfall thing.

Our newest cousin, Sunny and Charles' baby Vivien, came to see us. She was born on April 16th. She was just a week old!

Judebug was excited to meet his new favorite cousin... he is rather large compared to her!

I could hold a tiny sleepy new human forever.

Getting ready for our Easter egg hunt!

Hello, handsome! Geoff's latest hobby: dissecting iPhones.

pre-egg hunt

now that man is proud of his egg stash

Aubry held her own. They were both pretty weak egg finders... and were easily convinced by Malia that the Easter bunny's name was Frank.

Me and my older babies. They are growing up so fast.

Aubry and Hazel modeling their matching tank tops. They both look so beautiful and grown up for four year olds!

Aubry and Stacey. Aubry is so in love with Stacey's hubby, David, that she often refers to her as David's "sister" or more recently, "cousin."
