Happy Easter

We ended up going on a wild onion hunt as opposed to an egg hunt (oops... Mommy read the evite wrong and we missed the neighborhood hunt). Luckily Aunt Sheri has us covered and is hosting a hunt later in the day.)

New spring do

Quote of the day

We don't have a dog, we only have Louis.

Pictures I love

We went to Stanely's Farmhouse Pizza last weekend and it was amazing. I can't wait to go back when it's not rainy.

Loves pizza? No, just flirting with the ladies at the next table over

First pigtails (after sleeping on them all night they are a little disheveled)

Sometimes big sisters have silly ideas- like "let's put the dance dress on Louis"

Dance Girl Dance

Wow.  I'm almost speachless... Having a 3 year old is pretty fun!


What great moves. It also hilarious that Louis is being ignored and has himself completely tangled up in balloons.


My favorite section is from :31-:39 but :52-1:06 is also amazing!

More pics I love.

Flyin' at the Zilker Kite Festival

Appropriate outfit for a hike? Yes.

Bird Watching with Grandpa.

Sprinkles on Pasta? Sure.

Louis at Mile 20 of the Austin Marathon

uh oh. he can climb

Wind in my hair.

We volunteered for It's My Park day.
We cut and pulled bad grasses and weeds and spread wildflower seeds along the Williamson Creek Greenbelt. It was great fun and at the end of an action packed weekend Marlo declared it was her favorite thing we did (better than the kite festival?). Well, she got off pretty easy on the manual labor so I can see it...

Marlo actually did lend a hand. I was pleasantly surprised how much we were able to contribute.

Bugs can be pretty distracting.

 Here's Louis in action. Even babies can volunteer!

I'm Melissa.

My little modern dancer.




She got to participate in an amazing experience at the Scottish Rite Theater...


Here's a sampling of what the show was like:

I couldn't decide which pictures where the best so I just kept adding!  These photos definitely capture the spirit of the party!
