Last Few Days in Texas

It is always hard to say goodbye to everyone knowing it will be almost a year before we see them again.  Another fabulous, fun, crazy traveling summer in the books!

 Having some wine with two sweet friends, Shannon and Vanessa

Huge birthday horse stables Lego set she had had her eye on.

 Annual new pair of specs!

My sweet lunch date! Olivia's new favorite lunch, tomato basil soup and spinach salad at Le Madeleine

 Mexican food with Uncle Matt

 I love this sweet photo of three of my favorite people

 Spinning teacup with Nonna

 Hot tub time with Pong Pong



Precious friends, Olivia and Katherine


 Our sweet friends, The Hayes, had us over for a "slumber party"



 Our darling Rainer neighbor, Amanda

Fun with the Adlers!

Big Jim

  Last night in Houston with so many special people at El Patio

 After so many bubbles in France, on our layover in Paris, I had to grab a couple more bottles.  This meant that I could no longer get us down the aisle without help from flight attendants.

 Back to the land of porters!!  I have never been more excited to see a porter in my life!  After 4 airports including collecting bags and rechecking them in Paris, and way too many carryons for one mama, I was ready to hand it all over!

While it is always nice to get back "home" to our own space and house, these temps were very hard to return to.  115 with high humidity is HOT!

ATX Fun!

I had a super fun girls weekend in Austin with some of my CSD girls.  Aunt Belinda and Uncle Jimmy watched the girls for me so they could get in some Nana and Papa Bill time.

 Stopping at Trader's Joes new Courtney's new office.

 O and Nana

Helping Uncle Jimmy with a project

 Olivia and Eliza fell in love with their cats, well the one that wasn't afraid of them

 We stayed at a hotel downtown that had a "human stew" roof top pool

 Kim, Katherine, SSR and Jennifer

 Jennifer, Tory, Katherine, SSR, and Kim



 Absolute epic blast of an evening with these girls

We walked back to the hotel and asked an interesting couple to take our picture.  Hilarious!
