Makaela

We met Makaela Anne finally! She is so cute and it's wonderful to have a new baby in the fam. :) Michael and I had so much fun over the weekend of July 31 - August 2. First, we caught up with John and Dinah for John's 30th down on Lake Amistad (Texas and Mexico border near Del Rio) and then drove through San Antonio to get to Houston to meet Makaela. She was amazing! We had lots of fun seeing Marie and John too. Their house is great and very "home-y." We enjoyed seeing Diesel and Shelby, although I think Diesel is still a bit worried about the crazy dogs next door. Makaela has almost grown out of her newborn clothes and is in the 3-6 month clothes now. While we were there, Dustin came over and took some pics. (I took some too :))


This last week, I went to Madison, Wisconsin for a Distance Education Conference. It was beautiful. I especially loved being able to see Monona Terrace, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The Monona Terrace, where the conference was held, is right down from the capitol building in Madison on the edge of Lake Monona. It was amazing to see the lake from the floor to ceiling windows in Monona Terrace all week.
