New Tattoo
 For Christmas I got Cass a gift card to a tattoo place near our house. This place was where she had gone to get Astrid's name added to her Texas Bird last time brother Mark was in town.
This time around, with an even better artist, she got Jolie's name on the opposite arm.
Here's the evidence!...full story |

Mom and Frank come for a visit
 Well it just wouldn't be Christmas without Mom, and Mom didn't want to miss a beat of Astrid's second Christmas.
Mom (or GoGo as Astrid calls her) helped Astrid build her first gingerbread house. Frank helped too, and even got a nap in.
As usual, many compact flash cards were taken advantage of....full story |

New Pics
 OK, so many of you have probably guessed that I'm hopelessly behind on prepping new pics. And you'd be right.
There are about 300 waiting in the wings and here I type, a few brief minutes of freedom to work on it.
I'll post as many as I can. These all date from the first 3 months of 2009 except for the first 10 or so which are from April and May....full story |

Waco Zoo with the Cardonas!
 So in late May we journeyed to Waco to the Waco Zoo. Since Waco is the halfway point between Austin and Dallas, it was a natural place to meet with Cass's brother Dave and family (Shannon, India and Ramone).
It turns out the weather was beautiful and the zoo itself was much better than the Dallas zoo (who knew?)
Anyway, naturally a few pics were snapped and a great time was had by all....full story |

For you Texans, picture ACL (that's Austin City Limits Music Festival for you yanks and West Coasters) with zero humidity, in the desert where it cools down at night and away from residences so they can actually have th...full story |

Astrid turns two!
 Astrid's 2nd birthday was February 15th, 2009 and this year Cass went all out. Well we kind of did last year too, even having 2 different parties in 2 different cities, but this year Astrid was old enough to understand and appreciate it.
The theme: Wow Wow Wubzy. If you don't have kids, its more than OK to have no idea what that is.
The place: our house
The guests: Astrid's GoGo, Pops a...full story |

New Front Porch!
 OK, so wouldn't ya know we're trying to sell our house to move somewhere cheaper so we can save money and our front patio collapses!
Some of the flagstones had been a little loose for a while but began to get noticeably "bouncy" late last Fall.
I decided what the heck? I'll pull up the loose ones, pour in some sand, and grout the stones back in place. Well I got more than I bargained for a...full story |
