Here's our new car, after having the Saturn totaled last week... booo. We now have a car loan, makes me sad! Oh well. At least this car seems great and comfy, roomy and most importantly safe. A good family car :)

This picture makes me very happy. Our friends John and Mikal came for dinner with the gang, and look at that! Could the kids be any happier? While we were sipping wine, enjoying adult conversation and relaxing. Fun fun fun

Master bedroom remodeling - Day 2

There we go, in only 2 days, the windows and the door are up in the old screened-in porch. Our guys work fast! I'm loving it so far :)

House renovation, master bedroom - Day 1


WOW! - Day 1

Here we go!! The construction started today for our "back of the house" project. No more screened-in porch, no more back kitchen! Instead, a nice bedroom for my hubby and me!!! Our guys gutted out the kitchen today and took down the screens and exterior sidings. It doesn't look bad like that at all!

Kev and Vlad came over to spend a few days after a Microsoft conference in Houston. I had 3 gentlemen to myself for 4 days, I have to say it was really nice :) You guys can come back whenever you'd like!!!
Altough I have to say, we drank too much :P But without Vlad we would not have discovered an Austin treasure: Sam's BBQ on East 12th: OMG! The best bbq meat we've had, ever! Not baby friendly though, but delicious and well worth the stop.

Not an issue for him anymore. Standing is E.A.S.Y.!
Not so easy for us, having to chase him around and stuff :P But even cuter, if that's possible.

Gabe wanted to grab the fireworks.. priceless! I absolutely loved loved loved the fireworks, the final gave me the chills. It was awesome to hang out on the pedestrian bridge over the lake with our friends. Good times.

Sophie and Dave are in Austin

They came to visit for a few days, and spent the 4th of July with us. We had 4 good days of drinking, eating, drinking, swimming, eating some more... Went to Barton Springs, Clarksville pool, walked around, had margaritas, and some Veuve, played with Gabe, etc.. very very cool weekend! Hope to see you again soon!!

Gabe is "napping"


Gabe is "napping"
Originally uploaded by manueb
That's what you get when your baby starts not only to crawl everywhere, but pull himself up with ease.. Putting him down for a nap now if quite challenging and I often find him bouncing in bed, talking to his teddy bears. It's just too cute. Also he started climbing up stairs a couple of days ago at the Alamo Drafthouse. We were watching "Kung Fu Panda", but I guess the stairs were much more interesting to him :)
