What do the Simple Folk Do?

Almost every weekend in April I went out of town and did great and fun things...it's just going to take a bit to recap them all!

The first weekend was celebrating my grandparents' birthdays down in Austin.  As already recorded - this family can easily pass the time away by just sitting, chatting...and of course, eating!  We were a few members short and some came late or had to leave early, but again - time together is precious and not to be taken for granted.  Here's a picture overview of our time.

Love seeing my Pa-Pa holding babies!  This newest great-grand is really starting to blossom!

Me-Ma & Pa-Pa opening their new computer - on which I hope they're seeing this blog!!

Could they be any cuter??  Destined to be great friend-cousins.



Our reason for gathering.



3 of the 4 great-grands who also have April birthdays!  (Poor Holt had to leave early)

Love watching this new father with his son. 

Where we had our big birthday meal - possibly the largest restaurant in Texas.
And that's saying something!  Built on "cliffs" around Lake Travis.  Fun times.



With Dad looking one direction.  As you can see - amazing weather that day.



And with Mom looking the other direction.  We only sweat a little bit (first week in April!)

2 Newest Great-Grand families with the Great-Grandparents

You didn't think I'd leave out my cute nephew??? 
He got some musical instruments from his music teacher great-aunt Anna.  The boy loves music!

Me-Ma with some cuddle time with baby E.



OK - I just love this picture.  Dad is using the paper to "escape" before he dives back into the family fray. 
And well, cousin Michael was checking box scores before he could read....

Documenting our blended family (notice the Gig'ems and the Longhorns!)



Love this family :)

P.S. Post title is a song from "Camelot".  It's sung to try to get King Arthur & Lady Guinevere out of a "blue" mood.  But I just think we're good "simple" folk.  (By the way, the song says to try whistling, dancing & singing if you're trying to lift your mood.  Usually works for me.)
