Just a couple quick shots of the kids in some expensive clothes that we’d never buy them. Second hand and gifts, people are very kind.
They are so handsome. Oh, and a small bonus of them eating at their new Ikea table. It’s a POS that I don’t expect to make it past a year, but it was cheap and they love playing/eating on and around it.

Food and fits and laughter and shenanigans and bath time – every night is chaos from 5:30-8. We spend most of our time feeding, cleaning and entertaining Katie and Patrick. Exhausting, but quite fun.
Click below to see some grainy iPhone images in their full, um, glory. The camera on that thing is nowhere near as good as my old Sony Ericsson.
Just a taste for all you northerners – the real deal will be in front of you very soon. We’re all looking forward to it.

Remember when you learning about where the names of days originated? Thursday is after the God of Thunder, Thor. Not to be confused with this God of Thunder, Thor.
What the hell was Wednesday?
Last weekend Corky and Karen drove to Austin to see visit the family and celebrate 44 years of married bliss.
Wow.
44 years.
I’m in still in awe. How did you put up with him for so long, Karen?
Grandma Karen presented Katie and Patrick two beautiful outfits (each) that she custom crafted. She could open a business selling these outfits, they’re that good.

PJ looks resplendent in his red-pinstriped baseball overalls (thank God they’re not blue like a certain team I despise). I love to hold him in the seersucker.

Katie is cool as a cucumber in her side-vented shirt with matching bloomers. The patterns are fun.

Dessert as seen through my iPhone. The service at Eddie Vs was impeccable, and they brought this amazing molten chocolate cake for the Karen and Corky. So. Damn. Good.
