As a bit of an afterthought we also decided to landscape the side yard since our brick patio was sinking in spots and we were sick to death of Lola tracking in mud every time it rained. Hooray! We'll keep you posted with this week's progress.

under construction
Gary's office is under construction! It was started last Monday and is supposed to be finished by the end of this week. That timeline sounds a little ambitious to me, but I'm hoping they're right.

Tennis Lesson
In honor of the French Open starting this weekend (and to let you know we're still alive since I haven't posted in forever) here are Emmylou and Miller at their first official tennis lesson Grammie and I gave them last week.

Last weekend
We spent last weekend having fun at PawPaw and Nana's house.
We loved getting to go swimming for the first time this summer!
And on Saturday night we enjoyed a delicious crawfish and seafood boil. Look how brave Emmylou was with those vicious creatures!
Speaking of vicious creatures, geese aren't the nicest animals, in case you didn't know. Apparently grey geese will attack for little reason, but Ernie, the big white goose, will do his best to protect you.
Along with feathery friends, PawPaw has quite a menagerie of heavy machinery. A little boy I know was quite taken with all of the specimens. Fortunately he was much braver than last time.
Thanks so much for the fun time, PawPaw and Nana!

Guacamole man
The stars and/or universe must have aligned just right the other day because for once Miller decided he liked guacamole. He couldn't get enough of it.
But by now I know better than to believe he'll make a habit out of liking anything remotely healthy. Tonight he wouldn't touch the stuff. My guess is that he'll like it again in another 7 or 8 tries.
Ha! I'm figuring you out, Little Man!

Disney Schmisney
Disney On Ice was here in Austin this week so Grammie and I took Emmylou and Miller to see it Thursday night.
The show included a segment of Cars, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King and some Tinkerbell story I couldn't quite follow (but was E's favorite part, natch).
Miller loved Lightning McQueen, Tow Mater and the rest of the Cars crew. It was exciting; they drove around in... a circle.
Here's Ariel from when she was still a mermaid, before she traded her voice to Ursula for some legs. Pretty good splits for someone with a tail, dontchathink?
I was so pleased to see that the Sebastian costume was so similar to the lobster dog costume I made Miller wear last Halloween!
I'll admit it, The Lion King part was pretty awesome.
Intermission: time for a $12 snowball (and don't forget the $2 straw!). Thanks, Grammie, for buying Emmylou the ridiculously expensive crap I wouldn't pay for!
Oh, and the ridiculously expensive Tinkerbell souvenir shoes...
Back to the show with Tinkerbell and some odd hatchet-lamp thingie...
My friend Bethany blogged about Disney on Ice a couple of weeks ago (see her post on 4/15/2010) and I'm so glad she prepared me for the unbelievably overpriced merchandise! Really, it is insane.
My recommendation to anyone else who may go: get the cheap tickets and bring a grandparent!
