visitor alert!

a couple weeks ago, our favorite wellesley graduate liz came to visit. we showed her a good time from the vantage point of parents and soon-to-be parents again. translation: we spent a lot of time at home catching up. . . and it was wonderful! it was so good to get to hear how life is treating her and share our lives with her.

one night we did go out, we went down to the stockyards to fulfill liz's desire to ride a mechanical bull. unfortunately we didn't get a good picture of her face, but her form was impeccable.

i went ahead and did it as well so she wouldn't be the only one. humblebrag here: when exiting, a random guy said, "wow, you were really good". we know i wasn't, but...

throughout the week, she was a huge help for kelli, entertaining quinn. look closely and you can see that yes, those are dr. pepper dominoes!
the last night she was here, we found this recipe online for milky way brownies. here is the amount of milky way's that went into the brownies. liz could barely contain herself!
and here is the finished product, complete with a huge milky way smile on the brownies!

needless to say we had a fantastic time. thank you for coming to texas, liz! we miss you but look forward to your next visit.

in the defence of the bull, it is very hard to throw off that much weight. :)

i guess you've been paying attention to all the time spent with cousin Eric
