Back to Austin

Last weekend we headed back to Austin to spend some time with friends and take a few more pictures with sweet Shelley. We headed up Saturday morning to meet one of my close twin moms, her husband and their two silly girls but they were not able to make it due to a very sad tragedy in their family on Friday night. My friend lost her mom and her girls lost their grandma. We prayed for them all weekend and Adde & Clare just can't wait until the next time we can get together to share some laughs and smiles. On our way home Sunday, we were talking about them again and Adde told me "Mom, it will be ok...Jesus made a tear in the sky and let their Grandma right in." It was the sweetest thing.

So we had a slight change of plans and headed to Hula Hut for lunch. 

Clare Bear Blue, Adde Patty Pink.

Lovely goofy faces they learned from their goofy cousins!

After a big lunch we went back to our favorite Mueller Park where the girls ran wild.

They would spin in this cup and get so dizzy they would fall over multiple times when they tried to get out and walk. It was hilarious.

Our cousins Adam and Kerry met us since they live right around the corner and played with the girls while we had a little visit.

After well needed naps, we took off to Matt's El Rancho for dinner with the Davis' and Zinda's....and I think EVERYONE else in Austin. Man that place is mad crazy!

Look at this handsome little Max. Jackson...we missed you dearly, but understand your parents needed a night out!

They got a night out, but not a night off as they had their hands full with our three.

Kind of a scary pic! Clare does this to every tortilla she eats!

A little balloon fight...thanks Missy for all the balloons. You did a great job at spoiling our girls!

Look at this priceless face!

Max's daddy joined in the fun too! Not sure Clare needed help putting those sweets in her mouth, but thank you Matt for making sure she didn't miss a bite. ;)

Max's Mom entertaining the girls! What an ADORABLE picture of all the blondies!

And Lil Man after we got back to the hotel. He missed out on the pics at dinner!

Drooling over that tooth that just came in...OH WAIT, I forgot to mention...HE HAS A TOOTH peeking through. It's sharp and coming in fast and furious. Poor Sophie was not happy as she decided to run away on Friday while Mommy was with all three kids in Houston. She jumped ship and hopefully found a new home without teeth.  Sorry Sophie, but we quickly replaced you as Bennet was lost without your head in his mouth!

Sunday we woke up and Sweet Shelley met us to take some more pictures...a little for her and a little for us. We love seeing her and can't wait to see some of the shots! After lunch we packed up and headed home!  

GUESS WHAT...Bennet is 5 months old tomorrow! Where has the time gone? I'm going to try my best to do a Lil Man post since I have missed the past 5 month birthdays! Oh the 3rd child sure does get the shaft! Sorry my handsome little man. If you haven't figured it out, I'm typing this now because there is a really good chance that I won't get around to it tomorrow and at least I have this mention in here! We'll see!
