Ruby's Future Playground
Those of you who have been to our house know that our backyard is (was) a somewhat desolate landscape. I take a lot of pride in my frontyard, but I've never had the time, resources, or plan to do something to the back. That changed with Ruby. Although Emilia will point out that I promised her that we'd have a different backyard before Ruby's birth, all good things take time, right?
Fortunately we were able to implement the first step in our plan for the backyard over the past few days. We hired Longhorn Lawns (highly recommended) to install a pea gravel-filled, limestone block-lined, 18' by 34' play area for Ruby's future enjoyment. That's 10 cubic yards of pea gravel. We also had them line the back fence line with river rock, as I'm eventually going to put beds in front along the back fence. The river rocks will allow a space for the dogs to run the line and not trash the beds.
A few pictures of the before, during, and after:
Finally, U.S. is up 2-0 over a Spain team that hasn't lost in its last 35 matches. Sick. Add that to the fact that the Longhorns are playing LSU tonight for the College World Series championship, and this could wind up being an insanely awesome sports day. Vacation!

First Visit to a Fancy Swimmin' Hole
To start my two week vacation off on the right foot, we took Ruby on her first trip to the Austin-area's awesome (alliteration!) Hamilton Pool this morning. And she loved it.
She loves the water, regardless of the fact that it's pretty darn cold. This bodes well for future tubing trips down the Comal.
Movin' to the country, gonna eat her a lot of peaches ...

Front Yard Model
A few shots from last week's front yard modeling session, taken by the always lovely Emilia:
This is her pouty, disinterested look. It'll drive the boys nuts. Which will drive me nuts.

Ladies Who Lunch
Ruby and I went to lunch yesterday with Miss Valentina. Being the fancy ladies that we are, we ate at North in the Domain. It was delicious and Ruby was on her best behavior. Ruby and I think we should make fancy girly lunches a regular part of our social schedule.
