All Things Lawless...

One of my dearest, best friends from high school, Andrea and her high school sweetheart husband, Brian Lawless, came to visit us with their daughter Audrey. Little Miss A was born just 2 1/2 weeks before CCR. Andrea and I have enjoyed sharing updates and stories from pregnancy until now. Finally it was time for our babies to meet - and for us to see each other again. It had been two years. We planned a fun-filled but not-too-crazy few days for us to showcase a little bit of Austin and share some Texas flare with our good ole' California friends. First we took them to The Salt Lick out in Driftwood. It was a lot of fun, the food was fantastic (Andrea and Brian agreed), and we were able to capture a few precious photos of the kiddos. Audrey is just adorable...check out that adorable smile!!!

Saturday, we took everyone down to Zilker Park to enjoy some of the great aspects of our little Central Park. This is a few shots of the babies at one of the Gardens. We had so much fun strolling them around.

Here's a shot at the Butler's Window of Doug and CCR. What handsome men I have surrounded myself with...

Here's Andrea and Audrey...

And here's the entire happy family...

After the Gardens, we took everyone over to the Barton Springs Pool. Just as an FYI, it is a very cool place to show off what Austin has to offer, but beware the water is creek water...that means it is COLD! CCR had fun in the water - as long as we kept the water level below his waistband - and Audrey, who is still getting comfortable with the idea of swimming took a dip and then thoroughly enjoyed playing around in the grass.

Lastly, we took everyone to Chuy's to give them a fantastic taste of TexMex. Andrea and Brian thought it was good but shared that nothing compares to the Mexican food you can get in Southern California.

We had a wonderful time hosting the Lawless family! I am impressed at how mature and mobile Audrey is. You are just adorable, and we can't wait to come see you in San Diego!!!
