Brenham, Bluebonnets, and Burials

"Farewell dear huband may we soon meet on that bright shore where farewell tears are shone no more"...
I met my parents for the Round Top antique show for a weekend of shopping on Easter weekend. Bought lots of treasures for the new house - which Greg semi approved. On our detour, we ran across this bluebonnet bedecked old cemetery as old as mid 19th century. Only with Mom could I enjoy walking around gravestones.

I want to be buried like this - don't care what you throw me in just cover me with wildflowers!

And then there's Prissy. No kids available for pics so Prissy will do...

Coops' Six Months




















Meg's 26th
















Crawfish Craze

In the Houston tradition, some of the Baggetts believe in partaking in crawfish with a boil (and hotdogs for the rest of us). So now, I am school in determining if it is alive, how to eat it, and acquainted with the nasty slurpy noise as you pull the head off.... Makes the nitrates and questionable meat of hot dogs more appealing doesn't it? :)
Melinda and Tyler were home so most of the family came over. Not to mention all these little cousins. Note the matching socks... a chronic problem.
Melinda with the kids, and Pam with Meghan working on that stool puzzle thing.
Aunt Gaye and Coop - She and Meghan had had some bonding earlier in the month as a last minute baby sitter for the "sick" kid. She was fine, of course. Good excuse for a play date anyways, right?
Meg and her favorite cousin. So cute how excited Meghan gets when Aubrey comes over. Don't think she's that excited with other kids her age.
Sam and Aubrey
Tyler, Nate, and the neck that both my children seem to be drawn to
Yuck. Looks classy though, doesn't it?
Thanks for the culture shock and the bonding time! Should happen more often though.
