News in Austin

As many of you have heard the big news here in Austin, we are expecting our second child. The due date is 5/5/08. We are all very excited!

Silly times

Pierce never seems to have a day where he doesn't make us laugh. Here is a picture of one day where he had to wear glasses - and not just any glasses - Mr Potato head's glasses! And then had to wear them to climb a ladder.

Labor Day - Let's head to the Waco Zoo

For Labor Day we decided to make a road trip up to the Waco Zoo. We weren't sure what to expect, but we heard it was a great zoo. Pierce was so excited to go! We will have to say the zoo is very nice and for what you get to see and how much there is to do it is a great zoo - and it is a great price to get in! Pierce barely sat in his stroller the whole time we were there - he wanted to walk everywhere. He loved all the animals! We will definitely be going back!

What is so much fun is that through out the zoo, they have little places for the kids to play, slide, etc. Pierce had a blast. Here he is sliding down a slide from a tree house.

Pierce loved the giraffes. Kept talking about their long necks. What a smarty!

D's 30th and Pierce's 2nd Birthday Party

We invited friends and family to a birthday party to celebrate D's 30th birthday party and to celebrate Pierce's 2nd birthday party. It was also to break in the new patio! It was a great party with wonderful friends and family and fantastic food! For those that weren't able to make it - we sure missed you and hope to see you soon! 8/25/07 Family from Austin, friends from Dallas and D's Dad.

Summer 2007 fun

We have really enjoyed this summer. It has been packed full of fun activities. Here are a few pics from the summer. Dad and Pierce enjoying the foam lava pit at Radijazz at a friend's birthday party. 8/11/07

Pierce absolutely loved the water park this year. There was a kid slide that he went down over a 100 times I swear. We floated the lazy river, and the best part were these water guns he could aim and spray people with. 8/13/07

Pierce had a blast in this jumpy house at a friend's birthday party. This was where he would relax for a bit before going back in to jump! 8/17/07

Happy 2nd Birthday Pierce

Pierce had a birthday party with all his friends at the neighborhood pool. We have been so blessed to have met so many great friends here in Austin and thank everyone for coming to celebrate this joyous day with us. Pierce with his bud loving to be thrown up in the air by their dads. This shot was captured at the most perfect time! What a great memory! 8/5/07

Aunt D's visit

Aunt D came to visit for almost a week and we had a great time. Here are some pics from that visit. Pierce loves tractors - so to drive one was awesome! He could not get enough! 8/6/07
