Texas R&R 2021

In June we departed for R&R in Texas, our first time leaving Montenegro since we arrived a year ago. A few weeks in McAllen and Austin to reconnect with family and friends were just what we needed. We made and checked off a huge list of to-do's, which were really more like "to eats", including: Abu's ropa vieja and paella, Taco Palenque, Whataburger, Uchi, The Switch, Sap's, and Rositas al Pastor. A few trips to Central Market and HEB completed the trip. Oh and Target!

Weekend Trip To Neusa

Back on August 6th, 2017, we took a trip to Neusa with some good friends for a little getaway.  We did a little hiking, marshmellows in the fire place, and--to take advantage of the windy season here--an afternoon of flying kites along Lake Neusa.

Unsuccessful Photoshoot

Before her 1 year birthday, we wanted a little photoshoot to hopefully capture a great family shot.  To our surprise, the days of having a cooperative child for photoshoots were long gone.

Then her desire to climb up the stairs and crawl began...

What to do but leave her be

After letting her climb up nearly a hundred steps, we thought we would give it another try.  Nope.  She still wanted to crawl.

In the end, she had fun doing what she wanted; crawling, playing with rocks, and more importantly, getting dirty.

Better luck next time

McKinney Falls Hike

With all the goodies we have been eating lately, we were in need of some exercise. A beautiful day for a hike along McKinney Falls where we got to enjoy some fall colors. A video of Vince sketching the landscape.

Posting Pics on Flickr

I've purchased yet another lens, Canon's EF 35mm f/1.4 USM, and have been looking for ways to share my pictures. Creating a blog may be a little too much so I've decided to post random pictures of everyday life to my Flickr account. For whatever reason Instagram has made it a pain in the ass to share pictures from Flickr or my computer. Until I figure out a way an easy way to share to Instagram, I'll continue to use Flickr. I've made my Flickr photo stream public. Hope you enjoy!
