And time marches on...

The days keep passing me by in a flurry of walks to the park, diaper changes, reading of books (mostly Lexi's), and Brooklynn feedings. We're almost to September, which means BACK TO SCHOOL. For the last 3 years, that hasn't meant much in this house, but this year Matt is starting his MBA program at University of Texas. He had to complete an 'intensive' this weekend and was at the school Sat, Sun, Mon, & Tues all day and night, so what better way to pass the time then invite my best friend to visit Texas! Cara flew in Friday night to hang with me and my girls and we had a good time chatting, watching chick flicks, and playing some Scrabble.

Here are some recent pictures from my world.

Alexis and Brooklynn, enjoying some floor time.

We took Cara to Zilker park, kind of like the central park of Austin. Great view of the river and the city behind it.

We also went to the Cedar Park train. They have a small train and Cara rode with Lexi while I walked Brooklynn around the park.

Matt has been helping my mom launch her website, but he still manages to do his part being a great Dad, and a helping husband. While I was giving Lexi a bath, he was holding Brooklynn and creating an internet face for Red Desert Fine Caramels. (more info to come on this adventure)

We are in a major drought here in Texas, the worst in 50 years. This is Lexi doing her rain dance one of the few days it rained this summer. She got soaking wet, but certainly thought it was more fun than taking a bath.

I'm really enjoying these pictures.
It took me a bit to see that Matt had a baby with him while at the computer. She's so bitsy. Alexis looks so cute with her little sister. Looks like you and Cara had a great time!
