indeed! well, they would know. ;)
in addition to my sweet parents and a host of fun relatives, we got to see my brother and his wonderful family. we love those people so much. especially this one:
she's pretty much the cat's meow. loves Elmo and Clifford and songs with hand/arm motions, and when she says your name it's melty-feeling inside.
One of the cool things we did this trip was trek to Lexington to nab some brisket at Snow's BBQ, a recent Texas Monthly pick for best BBQ in Texas. Besides wanting to take some to Daddy, we were curious to see what the best bbq in Texas tasted like. My husband called ahead to see if we could place an order, and was told that they open the doors at 8a and serve 'til they run out... which is before or around noon. We put on our game face, woke up Saturday, hit the road a little after 8, arrived at Snow's a little after 10, and managed to nab a whole brisket, 2 extra pieces for us to eat in the car, 2 sausage links, and what was left of the pinto beans (which are always free!). Let me just tell you, at that point they were already running out of meat. Isn't that wild?! They're only open 1 day a week, and the celebrity that's come out of the Texas Monthly article has apparently become something of a burden to this little joint. But let me just tell you... it was awesome. observe:
tasty. so tasty. we were so intent on getting up and out of the house we hadn't eaten breakfast that morning, so we sat out in the Honda and tore into the food, dipping our sausages in the yummy, spicy sauce and watching the brisket crumble in our hands. it was fine, fine food. good job, Texas Monthly.

on our early morning walk, the husband and I are very zen and individually focused on our bodies, the exercise, etc. we're almost to Discovery Green when I break the silence to observe in a very zen way how nice the breeze is. After a beat, my husband says, "in my head I was running for president."

Wow- great looking bbq. I love you and Michael together- ya'll make a great couple!
He could run for president. And, about the previous queso post, it was really good. I'm happy you posted the recipe.
Moo. You ate my dad.
Dude. Anyone who starts signing their name in high school with the ending of "esq." would DEFINITELY get my presidential vote. So dashing.
And I've GOTTA get me some bbq now.
Yum! I read about that barbecue when the article came out (my dad gets me Texas Monthly subscriptions). Plus, your niece has the cutest pigtails ever!
I laughed out loud twice while reading this post, I think it scared Madison. And your niece is adorable, still.
