Lake Austin

Mike and I love to go to the lake. We are members of a boat club, and one of our favorite things to do is head out to Lake Austin. It is gorgeous and relaxing. During the summer we spend as much time as possible out there. We are excited that summer is here!

Our New Lawn

Recently, we had a landscaper come and redo our front yard. Most of the grass was removed, and plants were brought it. Now we have a variety of plants and a walkway from the driveway to the gate. It looks good, but I am looking forward to the plants growing and taking up more room.

Living off the Land

Well, we aren't quite living off the land yet, but we do have 5 tomatoes and an eggplant growing! Nothing so far from the squash or the jalapeño plant, but soon we shall have tomatoes. I will pair them with herbs from our garden and pretend that I can survive off the things I grow.

Grandma's Visit

Val came for a visit this past week. It was so wonderful having her here! We took the dogs swimming, ate lots of Mexican food, saw the lake, and had lots of good conversations!

Shah went swimming for the second time and he did a much better job than the first time! I think Duke is teaching his brother well.

We took Val to a creek by our house that we usually go to. It has a hiking trail and a waterfall. Since we have had lots of rain lately, the creek was pretty high.

Duke would jump in, Shah would follow and help him pull the toy to shore. It was cute. I will post videos of it.

On Val's last night we went to The Oasis. It is on Lake Travis and has an absolutely gorgeous view. I thought I had left my camera at home, so there are not any pictures of dinner. I did, however, locate my camera in my purse after dinner and we managed to get a few shots in.
