Austin + BBQ

Add another to the list! Mama Tigger and I headed to Austin to see our niece, Cassidy. Oh, and we saw the rest of her fam as well (mom aka G-Ma C, brother, sister-in-law, and uncle). It was fun - checked out G-Ma C's new carpet, ate some REAL Texas bbq (twice!), and made the traditional trek to Cheesecake Factory (Michael and Lorelei's favorite restaurant). We were there to celebrate Michael and Lorelei's birthday, technically. But really, it was a trip designed to get some practice in.

Here we are playing on the cows.


Tigger has some family competition on the cuteness metric...
Uh oh...
She was pretty shy much of the weekend - no memories of the fun we had at Christmas. Mama Tigger was able to hold her though, using raisins as a bribe (note to self - bribery is a tool, not a felony)...

We also made a trip to Babies 'R Us, where Mama Tigger got a much-enjoyed tour of the premises by Lorelei. Mama Tigger had just finished the Consumer Reports Guide to the Best Baby Products, so it was helpful to get some hands-on training. I already believe we are over-thinking what to buy, but comments to that affect are met with ire from Mama Tigger...
