hill country

the king of the pool at lost pines.  that place was made for family fun.  LOVE.

jay had some business in austin this week, so we left town last friday and headed for san antonio to visit friends.  we had a lot of fun and got to catch up with good friends, visit the alamo, and let link catch up with some of his buddies as well.

sunday we headed for austin and spent some time with mollie's family, then in town and then out at lost pines.  over the course of the trip i got to see three of my best friends, their kids, and their new homes!  what a treat and what a great little getaway.  i love the hill country, san antonio, and austin so much.  there is a lot of beautiful landscape and some of my very best friends happen to live down that way, so that doesn't hurt, either.  :)

link and mama - night swim at lost pines = happy boy

link and finley (his bf, our goddaughter), reunited at her new house in san antone.  they had so much fun.  this was a tea party that link crashed - she kept offering him tea and he would say no, CAWFEEE (coffee) and then proceed to chug it down.  he also brought his golf club.   such a typical man.  she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.  :)

link and two of jill's boys, keller and caleb.  sweet friends.  :)

link was completely disappointed in the alamo, since he totally thought we were going to see elmo.  whoops.  better luck next time, texas history.  maybe he can warn his sister when she gets her first trip.

speaking of sisters, time is ticking away and we keep drawing closer to baby girl's due date.  we have finally narrowed our list of names down to two, bought her bedding (thanks mom!), a dresser, some adorable clothes, and are getting her little room put together.  this has flown by thus far and i can't believe in a little over two months she will be here!  unreal!!!!  i am feeling as good as can be expected for a very pregnant woman, in texas, in july.  at least this go round i fully understand that all these aches, pains, and fatigue are TOTALLY worth it in the end...we will get to meet our newest family member so soon!
