Busy Weekend--Long Winded Version
We started the weekend with a concert at the elementary school amphitheater Friday night. The whole neighborhood was out and about. Tivon felt right at home--crazy to think that this would be the school he would attend if we stay here in a few short years.
Saturday we rode our bikes (my NEW bike, isn't it pretty?) to Town Lake Sprinkler park--many of you have heard what a favorite this has become. On Saturdays, Josh takes ti and meets our neighbor there. Lots of fun to be had. This last Saturday, I tagged along because the Biscuit Brothers were playing a concert. For those of you who don't know the biscuit brothers, well, you're missing out. I worked with and became good friends with one of the "brothers" and now they have a tv show on PBS and do concerts all over. We have one of their dvd's and fortunately, tivon is hooked. Josh insisted that Tivon dress appropriately in his overalls.Next was the petting zoo. Ti loved petting the animals: goats, sheep, ducks, pigs, rabbits. So much fun. Then it was home for our nap. (Josh and I sure do like the instituted nap time in the middle of the day!)


That night we went to Lara and Bert's for a fabulous Cinco de Mayo soiree. We started to put tivon to bed there but he got really frightened. So we stayed until he was ready to go home. Well that ended up being after 11! (For the record, I was more ready to go home than Tivon was.)



Sunday attended a new church Austin City Life and really connected with quite a few people. Then that afternoon was the big annual block party. I guess it should really be a street party because it's just one side of a block, semantics. Anyway, we had a blast. Tivon loved hanging with the neighborhood gang--over 20 kids on the one street of a block. Enjoy the pics.
Yes, there was a bouncey castle, that is not our neighbor's house. Tivon and his good friend Wilson played for hours together.

And here's the happiest boy on the block.

I love the updates and he is growing up really fast. I can't wait till Florida. Hopefully, I won't owe Josh a free boat ride because he has been losing weight.
