Missed Opportunities

My SIL Kathy and I often talk about how we should live in the same city.  But it has never worked out that way.

When I lived in Austin, she lived in Seattle.  And when she moved to Austin, I moved to Ohio.

So we raised our three kids in different cities- always commenting about how it would have been cool to raise them together.

And since my husband never checks out his sister’s blog, I will post her pictures here.  I know she does this (well at least in my own mind) to lure us back.  Because Austin really is one of the coolest cities ever.

And I do miss tubing down the Guadalupe River in San Marcos.  The crystal clean river- so unlike the mucky brown ones we have here.

I am trying to figure out how she took a camera with her without getting it wet.

Ohhhh I see, a ziplock bag.

This is Max on the blue tube.  He is Blake’s twin, only not quite as dark- and just three months older.

This is Joey, the crazy blonde 3rd born

and this is Miss Emma the oldest, 6 months older than Austin.

And this is for anyone who doesn’t think Texas is beautiful.

Now, if we could just move all family members to one city we would be all set.

    And yes, grandparent sitters are always nice. Blake’s friend MaryBeth told him yesterday that he has the best Grandad ever- since he taught them how to rollerskate!

    Andy is a party pooper.

    I agree.

    Just wait until I get him down there soon and get some good Mexican food in his belly.

    Can’t wait, I soooooo need to get out of this town. Even if it is only for a little while.
