New Year, Old Photos

The holidays were a blur of work, holiday-ing, and no blogging (obviously). Christmas photos to come. In the meantime, here are a few from the vault (well, from last year). Enjoy!



Our friend (and author and former NJ neighbor) Amy Schapiro made an unexpected trip to Austin in early December and generously fit a visit into her busy work schedule. She and Truman hit it off easily.

We updated (upgraded?) Truman's footwear last month and added a pair of rain boots to his closet. He insisted on trying them on the night they were delivered (thus, the bedtime attire).


And continued to want to wear them the next morning. Yes, he actually put this ensemble together himself. And wore it out of the house on his morning walk.


A more recent photo of Truman enjoying his Radio Flyer fire engine, a Christmas gift from Grand Judy and Pop George.



Finally, we just had to share this photo of our wonderful Japanese Maple, which flowered for the first time since the two hail storms in 2008. We're so glad it's still alive. (The photos don't do it justice, but the leaves were really something.)
