We had a great weekend for Memorial Day - 2 birthdays and a picnic.  Ryan is happy I haven't over scheduled this weekend!

After almost 15 years dealing with my chronic congestion, I finally went to see an ear-nose-throat doctor who really could help!  I went yesterday and am already breathing through my nose (seriously, quite a feat for me).  My nasal voice may be going away...yea!

Tessa took Nate for his first trip to the pool on Monday.  After a crazy weekend, we needed a break and she happily took care of him.  Now he keeps asking "Swimming, swimming".

Nate has made quite a few feats this week - opening doors (and closing them, like him in the pantry), climbing up the stools by the island, and moving a chair to get to the sink.  Nothing seems to be off limits!

I am in awe of the great friends we have here in Austin!  Their love and support amazes me and I am honored to find such great people.  thank you! 

* 6 *

The patio is done!  yea!  the stain looks great and all we need to do is transplant our herbs!  now to find some patio furniture...

* 7 * 

I finally finished a book that has been on my bedside for awhile - the omnivore's dilemma.  A great book and further encourages me that we are doing the right thing on local foods, buying our cow and supporting local farmers!
