Simon's first basketball game

Simon got his first taste of Texas Basketball the other day. We only stayed for a half so we did not have enough time to make a popcorn bucket helmet for him.

Simon heckles the Tulane team.

It's a standoff!

Happy Election Day!

Loyal Forever

Our ten year reunion was this weekend. Simon attended the Friday event (a tailgate before the Austin High-Westlake football game). He appropriately went as Mr. Maroo, our high school mascot, since it fell on Halloween. Perhaps next year he will have more of a say in his costume.

Happy Halloween

As we found out the other day, Simon wasn't a huge fan of going to pumpkin patches and taking pictures.

Officially fall?

Time to break out the winter hats. Even better if they match a toy.

Hungry, Hungry Simons

From milk to solids, Simon's moving on up the food chain. We started him on rice cereal last week. Next week, we'll give him some Elgin sausage. But only a little.




He gets that from me.


"There's a depression on son. You gotta lick your bib clean."


Big eyes, bigger appetite.

Trip to Dallas for OU game

The weather around here has been downright LA-esque, while I've noticed the weather out in South Pas has been almost Austin-like.

We made our annual pilgrimage to the State Fairgrounds last weekend for the OU game. Awesome weather, awesome crowd, awesome fried foods and awesome result for the game.
