carin

last weekend i went to see carin, jim and their girls in austin! mia is three and a half and twins julia (our god child) and emma just turned two in may.  it was so much fun to see them all.  i only met the girls once before and that was a year and a half ago!  they are adorable, very pretty and full of energy.  carin and jim bought a beautiful home in the southern part of austin, not too far from jim's office.  i failed to remember how green austin is - trees and green areas everywhere.  the weather was on the warm side with 104 degrees saturday (around 35 degrees celsius)!  it was wonderful to have a chance to catch up with my dear friend carin.  we looked through tons and tons of photo albums of when we were young(er) and even more amazing, if at all possible!  carin made some fabulous dinners and we had time to just hang out and play with the kids.  on sunday, jim got some help from his niece (who goes to school in austin) while carin and i went shopping.  we had a fun and successful day and i was sad to have to go home.  such a nice visit.  thanks for everything carin and jim!
