I am so far behind posting pics that I decided to just start with the most recent events. You'll just have to imagine the fun we had at the circus and how special it was for Priya and I to experience her first-ever pedicure.
Saturday we hosted an intimate dinner party for Mom and Dad's 40th anniversary. Dad wanted a party; Mom did not. So, we compromised and had something small-ish with family and 2 of their best couple friends...people we have known for 25 years. I haven't laughed or cried that much in a long time. I believe a good time was had by all. It wasn't even stressful preparing for the dinner as we had it catered. Oh yeah, that's the way to go.
**NOTE: click on any photo to enlarge.
I used my formal china (only the 2nd time in 11 years). I even had time to make these. Thank you, foldingnapkinguide.com.
Mom and Dad 40 years ago. But, now in edible form.
Sweet pic of Mom and Dad smooching after the toasts.
I love this picture of my bro, sis, and I. Jim and Judy's offspring. We had just finished giving our individual toasts, so we were a little "verklempt." Or maybe it was the wine. 
La Familia.
The cousins were here the week leading up to the party. There was a lot of swimming involved. It's always amazing to see where the kids just pick right up where they left off...even after not having seen each other in 6 months.
Baby Drew is the newest addition to the "cousins club." He is a big hit and loved by us all.
I was outside a little while ago watering my plants, and I do believe a storm is a-brewin' in South Texas. Hurricane Dolly's presence may be known here in Boerne in just a few short hours, and boy, do we need the rain. If only it weren't feast or famine.
I've loved being a part of Vacation Bible School with the kids this week...till Thursday when I will be having my own spiritual renewal this weekend. Looking forward to hangin' with some of my fave people while praising God and reminding myself just how blessed I am. Daddy will no doubt do a superb job holding down the fort. He always does.
Enjoy your weekend!

Jeez, I missed seeing some good pics and posts on your blog! Thanks for sharing...your family is beautiful; what an awesome accomplishment, to be married 40 years. And such a blessing to have your parents together and present in your life.
Good luck in VBS...ours is next week. Here's wishing for "just enough" rain for your neck of the woods.
I finally got to meet CB's girls...adorable. We went to the movies with our girls and their girls (American girls, that is) and saw Kit Kittredge. What a great movie! Thanks so much for "introducing" us; I have really enjoyed becoming friends.
(P.S. Very impressed with the napkins!)

Beautiful family. Love the picture of the cousins.
