Family Weekend

This weekend we went to Austin to visit my grandparents! My Aunt Nicole and cousin Alex live there, and my mom (Gramma) met us there too!


Gramma tried to teach Madelyn to crawl...

...but she insisted on only rolling!

Then Great-Grandma let Madelyn play "horsey"...which she loved!

I think Madelyn was glad to have another girl around...she took to Alexandra right away...reaching out for her, slobbering on her, playing with her face, pulling her hair...all of the sweet ways Madelyn shows her affection!

We took Madelyn and Alex to the park, where we thought it was only fair for Madelyn to go down the slide like Alex

Friday night we had dinner on the deck overlooking Lake Travis at Oasis.

We had a mini photo shoot to get some pics of the four generations and Madelyn with her great-grandparents!

On Saturday, our good friends Jen and Gui came over to visit for a bit and see Madelyn.

The weekend went by too fast and we had to drive back to Dallas on Sunday. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for a wonderful weekend. And thank you Grandma for making my favorite meal: Couscous...yeah, I know couscous is just the grain part, but my family calls the whole wonderful Algerian dish that my Grandma has perfected couscous.
