Whew!

I think I'm finally caught up on blogging. I back-dated about six posts, so you'll have to scroll back if you missed 'em.

We are busy and having fun this summer despite the unbelievable heat. Today's high in Austin was 105, and we are now at 41 days of triple-digit heat for the year! Crazy!

Somebody Got A Haircut

Although I didn't want to cut his long hair ... it was time. We couldn't keep the hair out of his eyes and we didn't want to have to resort to using a bow or rubber band!



(For the record, this is Nico's third professional hair cut.)

Happy 4th of July!

We stayed in Austin this year for the holiday and hung out with friends, swam, relaxed and ate lots of yummy food ... exactly what a 4th of July holiday should be.

Mmmm ... snow cones!


Snow cone face!

Digging in


We went to Academy to get Nico a larger life jacket for our trip to the lake. He loved his jacket and wanted to wear it in the store along with a cowboy hat that he found. What a ham!


Laura, my suite mate from college, was visiting from Switzerland and we were lucky enough to be able to hang out with her at her family's place on Lake Travis.




We got to meet cutie-patootie baby Luke. Nico was so sweet to Luke -- he would rock Luke's chair and try to feed him chips.




Nico got to ride a jet ski with daddy and loved it! He kept telling daddy to go faster.
