Showers and Parties Galore

Now that the house is finally set up, it's time to entertain!

Our first get together was dinner with Andrew's cousin Ethan, brother Reid and his wife Demetria. Ethan was in town for just 2 short days, visiting from New York. We only get to see Ethan once a year if we're lucky (considering he used to live in Paris), it was a treat for us all!

Last weekend I helped host a baby shower for one of my best friends from Tech, Karen Blackburn. Karen and Carter are expecting their first baby just two weeks before our little one is due. It's been so much fun being pregnant with all of my college friends (the first time around it was Sara, Paige and me. Now it's Karen, Paige, Emily and me)! Also, I couldn't have been more excited to have the shower at our house considering Karen has hosted many showers for Andrew and I here in Austin.

Here are a few pictures, courtesy of Paige!

Our second party was to celebrate Mom's birthday! It was a fun night and the weather was nice enough to sit outside for a bit! The only pic if have from this night is actually a great summary. Cupcake, Avery and Elise! There was a lot of running around playing, football and plenty of food!

The Austin Children's Museum

This past Sunday we took Avery and Elise to The Thinkery, the Austin Children's Museum. It was our first time to go and wow, we're MUST go back as there was so much to do there. The girls were so entertained we didn't even make it through the entire museum (after a 2 hour visit). Luckily with our Bank of America cards, we get free admission on the first weekend of every month. Looks like we'll be headed back to The Thinkery come October.
