::our toddler::

so thankful for a fun day at the zoo with friends...and for awesome pictures captured by ryan's co-fellows awesome father (who just happens to be a professional photographer)!  

clearly crosby was fascinated by the wildlife!

::school morning shuffle::

it seems every morning we are all a little bleary eyed, all running a minute behind and always not quite organized -- no matter how ready i feel the night before.

we are settling into the rhythm of the school year and even though i long a little for summer, these days are truly precious.

crosby might just be the best hugger i've ever met.  i adore his sweet love.  

so very thankful for family.  beyond words.

::hook 'em horns::

awesome pic of the UT stadium taken by sam.

we were so thankful this labor day weekend to have a bit of time with my parents and sam.  we piled into the car for a quick trip to austin to take in as much of the city as we could.  it was wonderful!

yes, this is what my parents rolled up in.  we felt like we were being tailed by the cops all weekend!

austin farmers market.  delicious popsicles!

we went swimming in this awesome  natural spring.  the water was oh so refreshing on the scorching day!

gray shirts, blue shorts, anyone??

crosby thought sam's face was a bit messy.  he kept insisting he wipe it up!

thanks bibs for an awesome time!  we miss you so much already!!
