It just keeps getting better ...

Melissa and Jake's wedding slide show, with appearances by Meghan, Paul, Heather, Keith, Logan, Liz, Don, et alia ...

The soundtrack got lost somewhere along the way, so these links might help ...

The Wedding Song (the original slide show accompaniment)

Williamsburg 2018

We got there just in the nick of time ...

joining Heather and Keith, Nolan and Mary Lieu, to celebrate Logan's Stepping Up from Hornsby Middle School ...

The ceremony was held at Warhill High School ...

where Logan will be a freshman next year ...

I loved that Logan was wearing a dress with an India print motif, which reminded me of a long-ago Stepping Up ceremony at Toano Middle School ...

As usual, Don ran into a slew of familiar faces, including Kim Hundley, who insisted on a selfie to commemorate the occasion ... ...

Hi Ray!

Jackson and Griffin at the Ranch

"I'm pretty sure our tree is bigger"

"Hey look ... a Cook-a-doodle-doo egg beater!"

"Stay on the trail, pardner"

"These boots are comin' in handy"

Where the grass is as high as a three-year-old's eye ...

No visit to the ranch is complete without a turn on the tractor

Pretend-style, of course

Don't forget to put water out for the birds ... they get thirsty

And so do we ...

Take the Z Train

Jackson got some undivided time with Nana and Pop Pop while everyone else got to nap ...

Jackson got to go to Zilker Park while G and Jace were napping ...

But the playground wasn't the main attraction ...

It was all about riding the Zilker Zephyr!

With an extra special surprise at the end ...

A tunnel full of Christmas lights!

G's big day

It's a long drive to Nana Pop Pop's house, but time goes faster if you look for boots in Wimberley ...

And stopping at Brookshire Brothers for banana cake makings helps, too ...

Oh cool! A race car in Griffin's favorite color ...

But nothing can beat driving the Little Black Truck ...

Unless it's filling up the bird bath with lots of water ...

Cottage cheese, lunch of champions ...

And a new room at the end of the drive home ...
