May brought Mother's Day and Kate and I had a cute photo shoot before she went to bed for a nap and Daddy fixed lunch for me, Mia, and Nana.
Thinking she was up to no good one morning, I went in search of Kate. Here's what I found her doing. Wish this were the case every time it got quiet and she disappears.
Sunday morning coffee and newspaper by the pool.
One Sunday in May, Kate and crew took a day trip to Eagle Lake for cousin Cody's first communion. While I didn't seem to get any pictures of the man of honor, I do have a few of Kate and cousin Skylar.
Kate definitely takes after me in more ways than one. At parties she can usually be found around the food table eating chips and dip. The Texas heat turns us both red! These pictures are from friend Kaki's second birthday party.
Who can cram more into their mouth?
We'll take a brief break from Kate photos to share a few from our annual Shrimpfest weekend in St. Augustine, Florida. While Kate enjoyed fun times with Mia, her parents soaked up non-kid time on the beach with good friends and LOTS of shrimp.
Just as a scary side note, these guys are all now fathers! Congrats to Dave & Brynne and Kalley & Paul on their new little ones.
Where the weekend gets its name.
The whole gang
Now back to Kate. We visited the Austin Children's Museum for the first time with friend Samantha. The girls had a blast.
In June, Kate and I took our first solo road trip to College Station to visit the Wilke family in their new house. It was a quick trip and I didn't get many pictures of the kiddos - probably because they wouldn't sit still long enough! Did manage this group shot (minus baby Jake) and a cute brotherly hug between Austin and Graham.
I'll close out this post with a few pictures from Father's Day. Next up...Summertime!
