A Big Weekend

Look at those two handsome guys! William is 8 weeks old now, and the older he's getting the less he looks like Matthew to me. His eyes look like they're going to end up brown, which we're excited about since Steven & I both have brown eyes. We're thinking this one might end up looking more like us, but we'll see! He's adorable.Our weekend began out at Pioneer Farms on Friday morning. Joyce & I took the boys out there for a couple hours, and Matt enjoyed looking at the animals most of all. He did like watching the blacksmith making a knife, too. It's an area in northeast Austin that has old buildings and homes from the 1800's preserved in a way that the first Texas settlers lived. The volunteers that work there dress in period clothing. It was a beautiful day, and we had a nice time walking around. William slept through the whole thing. And here is Matt with a pbj face.Saturday morning my Dad & Ann drove down. The men headed out to go watch Zach and his band, The Sheeps, perform at a SXSW show. There was a bounce house there that I'm told was a big hit with all the kids.That afternoon I went to the Sip & See that was thrown by my sweet friends and family in honor of little William. I didn't take any pictures with my camera, but Alison promises me she'll give me all of hers. Ann sent me a copy of the group shot...so cute. It was so great to see all my friends and hang out with the ladies for a few hours. The food was not only beautiful but soooo delicious, and William enjoyed being passed from one set of loving arms to the next. He also scored lots of cute things. Thank you again to all my wonderful hostesses--you all know how to throw a party; thank you for all your hard work and for making it so special for William and I. You guys are the best!Later that evening, my dad treated us to some yummy barbecue that we enjoyed over at Tim & Pam's house. Thank you, Daddy! Here's Will taking a snooze on the bear rug.Later, Matt took over Pam's laptop while we watched the Texas game.Sunday after church I attended another sip & see where I got to meet Holly's new baby girl, Ashley. See is so tiny and cute! I watched in awe as Holly opened up pink outfit after pink outfit. I think Ashley has a larger wardrobe than I do and she's a month old! We've enjoyed having Steven's parents in town for over a week now. Matthew has thoroughly enjoyed playing with them. They left for home today and will be greatly missed. Hope everyone got out and took advantage of the great weather we had this weekend! With spring break over, we're headed back into a normal week around here. And I might...just might get back to the gym this week.
