Welcome!

easter 2013 :::: a bit late

#latergram post.  i'm so behind (ALWAYS!)

Easter was a bbbbBBBlast.

started out strong with Friday night mexican dinner night, south austin style at Tequila Azul with the always lovely brinkkoeter team and Mary.  and a mariachi band which lulled miss jane to asleep almost immediately. not kidding.  between her love of the hot hot sun (cut to last summer, where her cries were only stopped once she was put outside in the 100+ degree weather and now with her new admiration for the soothing sounds of the blaring trumpet, i would not be surprised if she ended up in south america somewhere.  too bad she doesnt have the skin-tone to match.  that girl be pasty.

Birthday weekend festivities for auntie momo monbon head (too many great nicknames for one person honestly) began saturday morning, which consisted of delicious coffee (summer moon), mani/pedis and a trip to terget (of course!), whilst kyle babysat (in a sense it was a sort of preparation for my 3-day new york excursion, of which picture will follow shortly).  best foot massage during a pedicure i've ever had.

shopping with kelli.  always, always a good time.

mice and rifles show at Stubbs (Dwight Yoakam after party).

then, Easter extravaganza!  stells was excited about the easter bunny, but more than anything she was excited about candy.  m&ms and jelly bellys were her choice.  the day brought great food, great friends and great walks.  it couldnt have been a more beautiful day.  and i got the girls into matching outfits for about 30 minutes!  after lunch we all snuggled up on the couch and took a family nap while watching none other than cinderella.   never realized how nice cinderella is (or maybe shes just drunk).  either way i wish birds would prep my clothes for the day and brush my hair.

we didnt leave austin until monday morning, which was so lovely.

besides a scary fight between the family dogs (everyone is ok thank goodness), the weekend went off without a hitch.
