Chloe at the Bay

Aaron's family has a bay house near Port Lavaca.  We don't get to go there often enough, but when we do we ALL enjoy it!  As you can see Chloe is enjoying her limited outside time exploring on the porch.  She's being pretty good right now, however there have been times when she's given us some scares by locating herself on the other side of the railing.  Of course as soon as she does it, Aaron and I are rushing as calmly as we can to get her to come back around.  Thankfully this doesn't happen often!

Stowe Family Reunion '09

Every other year my dad's side of the family has a reunion somewhere within the continental United States.  This year we went to Colorado Springs, CO.

I loved seeing all of the chipmunks everywhere.  We don't have them here is Austin and I find them so adorable.

We went on a few hikes, one of them to Alberta Falls inside the national park.

My lovely parents

I am a huge fan of modern architecture, so it was such a great treat to make a quick jaunt to see my dad's cousin's home in Denver.

Summer Days... Are Gone Again

It was an exceptionally hot summer in Austin this year.  Despite times like the fun we had below, I'm glad that the cooler weather is here (and so is our pocket book).

This photo of my friend, Lacey, was taken on the Comal River with a disposable camera then processed a bit in Photoshop.  I thought it was a fun and powerful image of a summer day.

Lucy Lou

Meet Lucy!  Miss Lucy is the sweet lab mix of my lovely husband's parents.  I guess that would make her my dog-in-law. :)  She truly is one of the sweetest dogs I've ever met and it doesn't hurt that she has one of the nicest families either.  I'm sure Lucy will become a staple on the blog as well, since we do love to go visit our families in Houston.
