April in LA

If only to get the dog video off the top :)

Lunch with Uncle Jaime, Aunt Debbie, and Cousin Charity

Jaime and Deb came down to Austin for some car repairs and we got to meet up with them for lunch at Pappasitos. Charity got to come too - we finally got to see her! (She lives just miles away, how pathetic are we!).

Like a good neighbor ...

Steve is there!

Our neighbor across the street (Steve) is the best! He's a retired guy, who spends a lot of time out front, keeping an eye on the neighborhood and washing his truck. Every day. He's really the greatest. And now, he's our own personal landscaper! Michael and I don't have a lawn mower, plus we hate anything to do with lawns due to allergies and just because it stinks, so we hired some guys to come do it. When Steve found out, he offered to do it for us instead. (But yes, we do pay him!)

So, long story short, we now have an acceptable looking yard, so I took some pics. I promised I'd show you the green.

ACL Tickets - Enter to Win

Hey - click here to enter for a chance at $50 tickets if you're coming. They are doing things differently this year. Thought I'd let y'all know.

New Digs

I finally got around to cleaning the house this weekend, enough so I could take some pics and you can see where we live.

This is the only time it's been this clean since we got here. We're still working on getting things organized, in the garage mostly.

I'll take some pics outside later. It is gorgeous here right now, green, green and more green. We're always surprised when we go driving around at how clear everything seems. Then we remember "smog" is not in the Texas dictionary.

We didn't end up camping last weekend because the weather was unpredictable. We're hoping to check out Canyon Lake this coming weekend. Well see.
