Our March was highlighted by Steve and Anne’s visit to town to help watch the kids while their school was dismissed for spring break. I had to get glasses, installed two more Nest security cams, celebrated Opening Day with a lot of day beers, and we welcomed our friends Joe, Krista, and Lily to Austin after they relocated from Houston. Here are some photo highlights from what turned out to be a rather cool month here in central Texas.
I chaperoned John’s school field trip to The Thinkery. Here he is freaking out for some reason on some playground equipment. He bawled at least 12 times that day.On the same day as the field trip, I took the boy to a Texas Stars minor league hockey game at the Cedar Park Center after I won free tickets. He didn’t last more than five minutes into the second period.Lauren’s University of Toronto friends Jess and Shannon were in Austin for a visit on a very cold day.Friend overload! We introduced our new-to-Austin friends the Allens to our favorite standby Tex-Mex joint, Jardin Corona. Our neighbors, the Plumpes, also joined in on the fun.Baby Edie just being cute and chill as per usual.I moved my office to the garage while Grandpa Steve and Granny Anne were in town.
