Is it Fall yet??

We had a really busy weekend, even though it felt like we did nothing. Friday night we took the boys to Waterloo Ice House to meet up with some new friends, the Molers. They have kids the same ages as Nicky and Brandon and I know in a year from know we will be very happy to sit back with an ice cold beverage while they play with Davis and Anna.

Saturday we got up to go to Gymboree's Fall Party, and when we got there we found out its this coming weekend. Opps...so we went to Chair King and bought some new patio furniture for our outdoor courtyard. Here we are enjoying our new loveseat. Its impossible to get both boys to look at the camera!



Nicholas also got a new table. He is a serious art student, so we bought some fine crayons and art paper to help him hone his drawing techniques. Then he ate them and made some pretty orange marks on the new walls.

Saturday night Dan and I went out by ourselves! We got a sitter, the wonderful Lori Sweeney and we went to The Paggi House for one of the best dinners I've ever had in Austin. Dan had lobster bisque, salmon tartare, and leek and corn risotto. I had the beef tenderrloin with truffled fingerling potatoes and wild mushroom ragout. Soooooooooooo good. I highly recommend it.

This weekend, the temperatures actually dipped below 100 degrees and we even got some sporatic rain.We tested the new stroller and fell in love. The Valco has lived up to his reputation so far and the boys seem to like it too. Its very easy to control and drive. Plus its very sophisticated to look at! :)

We visited Matt and Kristi Brown for their Labor Day party, and Nicky went to Colin Cooks birthday party. We capped the weekend off with a day at the pool and dinner with Grandpa Ray Ray.

I think the highlight of the whole weekend was Nicky saying Val for the first time. He was so proud of himself and I know it made Val's year and has crushed my mom that he hasn't say Booba first. We're working on it, and we're close...Bubba. But the first family name he said was not Val, but Zeus!


until next time!
