The End of May

So after our trip to New York we came back and got to spend some time with Mark's parents. They flew in before we left and stayed with Brody while we were gone. We mostly just hung out at the house. They helped us do some much needed yard work. We got some new flowers and some herbs planted in the front yard and a new hydrangea bush planted in the back. Joel even built a brick border for the plant in the back. We had a great time with them as usual. We can't wait to see them again in July when we go to California. After they flew home, Mark and I headed down to San Marcos to see Matt and Abbey. They were having a BBQ at their house and it had been way too long since we had all hung out. We stayed the night and most of the next day and then headed home. That night the Austin wine festival was going on. I took Brody and met up with Tim and Shara for a few hours. It was a pretty cool event, I had no idea there were so many Texas wineries. The next weekend both of Mark's brothers flew in for a visit. It was Mark's younger brother Alan's birthday. The boys had tickets to the A's v Rangers game up in Dallas. It actually turned out to be a double header so the boys were gone all day Friday. Saturday we slept in and then went to lunch at Chuy's. That night the boys went out and I volunteered to stay home with Brody. The weekend went really quick but we loved having them here. Of course I was terrible and got zero pictures of any of these events. I'm trying to do better.

Here is our new hydrangea plant and the brick border Joel put in. It looks small now but it's supposed to get pretty big.
