the next generation

When my kids were small, all their first cousins lived outside of Austin.

Some in the Dallas area, some in Houston.

It was fun to have a group of them come to Austin for a few days 

and it was also fun to send them to Dallas for a few days!

Either way, they got to know their cousins as kids.

So, imagine my delight when the next generation of cousins

had some play time together in Austin this weekend.

This is Dylan, 

look at those eyes.

Here's our Meg enjoying her Blue Bell.

She and I are on the same page on this treat.

 Sunday lunch found us all at Taco Deli, one of the 

best brunch spots in Austin.

We even had an extra 'family' member surprise us from Dallas,

Logan (in the white cap).

Chris and Cara (Cara is first cousin to our kids), Dylan's parents!

Looking forward to many more cousin visits 

for the 

next generation! :)
