Family Visiting

We just made a quick trip to Lafayette and had a great time visiting our niece & nephew & great-niece & great-nephew! Audrey is 14 mos now and is as cute as can be (just like her mom)! We enjoyed getting a chance to visit with her & Ana and also enjoyed meeting Ana's boyfriend, Daniel. We were lucky to get 2 visits with Chris & Heidi--and I sure enjoyed holding Julien (adorable one month old) through most of supper Friday night! An added bonus to our trip was coffee with my aunt Suzie, her Mom and her brother.


Our friends & neighbors checked on Oscar for the one night & day that we were gone--we always appreciate how good they are to the boy. Unfortunately soon after our return, Oscar apparently injured himself so we're trying to help him convalesce this week (more on that later). I'm convinced he's trying to guilt-trip me into NEVER leaving him alone again.

While Oscar was resting yesterday, we met my uncle Terry and friends, Paul & Jean, who were motorcycling in the hill country. We took them out through Willow City Loop --the day was a bit warm, but the view was spectacular! Then we enjoyed lunch, a little window shopping, and some visiting in Fredericksburg!

And while we have been visiting and Oscar has been resting, the garden has been growing! Here's a picture of the carrots and onions we harvested after our trip to Lafayette. I'll add some new pictures to the 'Armadillo Pfarms 2010' slideshow later this week--check there if you'd like to see the progress of our corn and other veggies.

We rounded out the family part of our week by spending the day with Mark's folks. Then we ended our vacation week with the 14 mile route of the Armadillo Hill Country Classic--a great annual bike ride in Liberty Hill.
