Sailor Girl

 

We snapped a few pics of Margot "before school" this morning. Despite the fact that she's fighting a nasty cold which has left her coughing, sneezing, and with puffy eyes, she was in a good mood.



Sunday Dinner

In a perfect world, every Sunday night would include a big family dinner. With our family so far away, dinner with friends, like Cameron, Ty, Liz, and Emma is the next best thing.

Ty and Liz moved into a new place on the Hill and Cameron was in town, 

so we all got together chez Voyles.

Nattitude

Margot went to her first ball game on Saturday afternoon. We joined our friends April, Rob, and their girl Addy to watch the Nats play the Marlins.

 Somehow, Margot was actually able to snooze through all the chanting, singing, and cheering.

I snapped this pic on our way out of the stadium, as wind and rain descended on us. You can see the Capitol building in the distance.

While I'm still a Sox fan at heart, the Nationals are growing on me. I still believe that nothing beats Fenway Park, but the Nats stadium, in all its swankiness, is not too bad. I wonder if Margot will one day consider the Nats to be "her" team...? Hope so.

Maine

While Tucker's mom Judy has been in Paris, my parents and Priscilla have been in Vinalhaven, ME; another one of my favorite places on earth.

I can't wait to introduce Margot to this beautiful place.

La Ville De Lumiere

This morning, Tucker's mom arrived in Paris. Oh la! la!

She'll be there for the next week with her friend Jim, and a few of their friends.

We cannot wait to hear about her aventures.

 

They're staying near the Musée D'Orsay. Quelle Chance!

 

 

Labor Day Weekend

Three day weekends are the best. It's just enough time to relax, see friends, and catch up on things that you don't normally have time for. I wish every weekend was three days long.

On Friday, we caught up with Lock and Holly at Masa 14. 

Love these two and they love Margot. It's a win-win:)

 While we went to a few parties on Saturday and Sunday, we spent a lot of the weekend around the house. Margot was happy to wear her "Keep Austin Weird" tie-dye t-shirt for the first time!

 On Monday,  Margot was extra patient with us as we ran errands and prepped the basement for the upcoming renovation. This meant more time in the car than usual...

But, she graduated to her big-girl car seat! 

(Thanks Auntie Sarah and Auntie Priscilla!)
