Today is Izzy's birthday! We helped celebrate last weekend at her super duper fun party! Izzy wanted a slumber party, but since Izzy and her pals were a little too young, mama Courtney decided a breakfast pajama party would be the next best thing....and it ROCKED! First off, we all went in our pj's, then the kids make their own sleep shirts, played in the bazillion swimming pools, and topped it off with yummy strata and a HUGEMONGOUS Round Rock donut 'cake'!!!!
Happy Birthday Sweet Izzy!

Summer's Greatest Hits
With Labor Day coming up, does that mean summer is ending? While I'm looking forward to the cooler days for fall, I'll miss all the water play and all the fun in the warm sunshine. Here are some of my fave shots from the fabulous summer of 'o8.

Just One Day?
Ya know when you meet someone for the first time, and everything falls into place oh so nicely? That's exactly what happened when we visited with David (Dee/Nana's brother), Sheila, Irene and Juliet. Since they live in Manhattan, and we live in Austin, there just aren't many chances to hang out. We've exchanged a few holiday cards... but that's it until last week when we all hung out for one afternoon while they were in town. Everyone had the best time, and I know we'd LOVE to see them more often! Sheila was soooo easy to talk with...about everything, and poor David was up and down the elevators (or as Mia would say, alligators) fetching their camera, a sweater, bug repellent...and just to give the girls a ride up and down the alligator...um, elevator. That just comes with the territory when you travel with 3 ladies :) We had a tasty lunch and then swam in the pool till the rain came. All I can say is 'just one day?'
I just realized that I don't have a single shot of Tom and Dee, but they're always around...just look here, here, and here or my flickr family page!
I had a fun time processing these shots...even got to play with the texture tutorial from photo pal, Christina. Here's a before and after of the lovely Sheila, and then the rest.

Almost Fifteen ~ Best Shot Monday
Last week, some of Daryl's relatives came into town from NY. We all got together for lunch then a dip at the hotel pool. Regardless what the rest of us were doing, Irene was entranced by her well-read book....unless she was on her cell phone....the life of a girl at (almost)fifteen.
