austin visit

A few weeks ago Tay and I headed to Austin for my sister-in-law, Lindsay's, baby shower!  We loved seeing Mark and Lindsay's new house and neighborhood, celebrating at the shower and visiting their church, Austin Stone, for the first time.

Here are a few snapshots from our Austin visit!

Clockwise from bottom left: Grandpa Strucely, Dad, older brother Daniel, Caedmon, Lindsay, Granny Strucely, mom's sister Aunt Cherie and Uncle Carter, Isaac, sister-in-law Karen, Mom, Tay, sister-in-law Amy, little bro David, and oldest bro Mark.

They have a great house with tons of room which so suits them!  They are always having friends, neighbors, and family over for some great dinner party or get-together.  Here's everyone crowded around what may be the biggest dining table I've ever seen!

We had hamburgers with all the fix-ins and these amazing homemade fries!  Mark and Lindsay are adventurous in every way and always cook up something new and delicious!



Some of our views from dinner.



Cute pic of three generations: Dad, Daniel, and Caedmon



It is always fun when Granny and Grandpa can join in on the fun. 



Love this pic of Lindsay cracking up!



The newlyweds; they are coming up on 6 months in May.  We love our newest sister Amy!



Mom's sister, Aunt Cherie and Uncle Carter live nearby in San Marcos.  They are always so much fun and Tay and I are so inspired by their amazing DIY home projects!  Daniel and Karen's littlest one, Isaac seemed pretty content hanging out with Uncle Carter.  Aunt Cherie said he was always the "baby whisperer" with each of their 3 boys!



Caedmon can often be heard saying "Go out-side?"; he loves the outdoors!  Tay got this cute pic of him eagerly waiting for everyone to get ready and head out to the park.



Isaac snuggled during most of the evening walk to the park.  Aunt Amy loved it!



I had to get one last pic of mom and her youngest sis before Cherie and Carter headed out.

After traveling for a the better part of 2010, Mark and Lindsay settled back in Austin, moved into their first home and actually just had their first little one last Saturday! Oliver Matthew was born on April 2nd and is as cute and healthy as can be!
We're so excited for them; they'll be great parents!
Can't wait to meet the little guy in person!
