Uncle Eric is a traveling man and only makes it up to Austin every now and then. We were lucky to have him for 6 weeks recently and Eisley met him for the first time on May 29th. She took to him right away (and I think he was pretty fond of her as well).
Some of the activities Eisley enjoyed while Eric was in town were:
- A trip to the Frio river
- A day at Dick Nichols park
- A day at Barton Springs pool
- The 4th of July in Pipe Creek, Texas
- Backyard lounging in the baby pool
- Plenty of eating out
- Lots of family gatherings
Of course the camera was always nearby and we got a few pics of them together. Eric, Eisley already misses you and can’t wait to see you again.

We had a beautiful Mother’s day weekend this year.
On Saturday we met Courtney’s mom Patti and Courtney’s sister’s family for lunch at Matt’s El Rancho. On Sunday, we met my mom and sister at a restaurant in San Marcos.
After lunch on Sunday we spread a blanket out in the backyard, opened a bottle of champagne and just relaxed for a couple of hours.
I had promised Courtney that I would cook her anything she wanted for dinner that night. So later on I cooked steak and shrimp. We ate outside in the perfect weather.
Some photos taken over the last few weeks.
The day before Christmas we celebrated with my (Nick’s) family at our house. Everyone brought something to eat and I cooked two beer-butt chickens, which turned out great. We opened presents after dinner and Eisley got a Radio Flyer wagon from my dad and an excerise bouncer from my mom.
On Christmas day we had Courtney’s family over. We ate another traditional meal and then watched the kids open gifts.
The day after Christmas, we went to Brenham to celebrate with Nick’s side of the family. We all met at David and Rhonda’s house and enjoyed a seafood feast. After that we spent hours playing Rook before we headed home.
