Memorial Day weekend

Memorial Day weekend turned out to be quite a family affair for us this year (I guess that happens when you start a family). The whole clan came into town for lunch and a relaxing afternoon in the back yard. Add a dog and voila! you've got more home movies and pictures than you know what to do with.


Here's Ellie's cousin defending the pool.

Austinite Baptism

It's nearly a rite of passage for living in Austin. Enjoying a lazy hot afternoon down at Barton Springs with friends. Life's good.

6 months old!

We don't know if you got the email Ellie sent out on Saturday (she's been having some problems with her gmail account) but she's 6 months old now!Thanks to Aunt Jules for the new hat!

Licking the Platter Clean

Now that Ellie can eat solids, this is how we're washing the dishes around our house.

Grinning Smear to Ear

Here's one for the baby book. Ellie's first "solid food" meal of sweet potatoes. Mmmmm.

Grandstanding

Here's a little video of Ellie taking to her feet. The reason's were unclear to us, so you be the judge.

Ellies stood up...
a) because she's not gonna take it anymore
b) Aretha Franklin told her that sistas are now "standin' on their own two feet"
c) to be counted
d) to shake her groove thing
