Mel (Molly) and I went to Seguin this weekend to have a last little hoorah before traveling was out of the picture (and boy was it… that wife of mine is a trooper). When we got to my brother’s (John) house on Saturday, he was constructing this sweet two-room, one-halled tent contraption. I tell you what, if I was about 3 feet shorter and  134 pounds lighter, I’d love to have gotten in that baby.

Hiding from the monster.

 

 Later that night, before watching ‘I Am Legend,’ I kinda went hay-wire with the camera and started snapping like crazy. Unfortunately, the sum-total of all usable image was this one (though I must say her look is priceless):

 

We left John’s house and got home at 12:30-ish in the morning. Not too bad, ‘cept, here’s the rub – it was Daylight Saving Time weekend. Guh. Nothing like getting in to bed at 2 in the morning. However, it was okay because Mel and I woke up to the kids playing with their toys on a beautiful Sunday morning.

Same picture, with a little different flava… 

Overall, I’d say it was a pretty enjoyable weekend. Our nieces and nephews are adorable.

Notable quotes from the weekend:

‘You’re one fat Tuck’ – Mary, talking about their cat, Tucker’

Hi, baby Molly’ – Annie, as she walked by and waved at Melanie’s tummy

‘Ice cream is cold’ – Mary, in reference to a conversation about my brother getting on to my nephews throwing things at each other

‘No! You’re doing it wrong! It goes like this!’ – John (the Elder), then many others, in reference to a little jam-session on Friday night
