Southbound 35

A couple of weeks ago we took our first roadtrip as a family of 3! I really only packed what we needed for one night away (really!), but it has become apparent that dewey will be sporting a mini-van when baby 2 (and 3 and 4 :) come along... Anyway, we headed to austin to have a little family celebration after my bro chris' wedding in vegas. While we were there we tried to squeeze in at least fifteen minutes with every austin-ite we know and love. However, since the world now revolves around little miss, the pictures do as well. We first went to Chris and Leslie's new pad to see wedding pics, hang out, and eat. The Mitchell clan then headed to the Thompson's brand new beautiful home to shack for the night. Carly just finished her pediatrics residency and joined a great group in south west austin. She only thinks she has days off-I call on her expertise 24/7! Sam coaches football (and much more) at a private school in austin. He is a great mentor for these guys. Their daughter, Charlotte, is 4 months older than Lofton and is an absolute doll. Big blue eyes and a never ending smile. I look forward to many more trips as the age gap b/w these 2 virtually closes and they become dear friends! Lastly, we all joined Chris and Leslie for a yummy brunch on Sunday and my aunt Bobbi and bestie Juli came to meet my little angel. The traffic coming home was a nightmare, but as usual, Lofton was great! As a reward, we treated her to Ninfa's in Waco...
