Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

Mom reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory must have really got the wheels turning in Oggie's mind. Here are a couple inspired quotes:

"One day, when it's my birthday, I'm going to take a big wolf of chocolate cake stuffed with orange!" (They had just read about how Charlie had "wolfed down" some cake...)

-and-

"I'm going to find an Easter egg with a ticket as big as the sky!"

Happy Easter!

The Labyrinth

Our church in downtown Austin has a sweet labyrinth, open to the public and always available for contemplation. It's a favorite spot for Jesse and the kids to picnic.

A simile from Og

Og, pauses after running through the house, and announces: "I'm running like a wild man with rockets in my toes."

SXSW

Ah...March in Austin...the warm weather is a happy reminder of our marriage 6 years ago. We were blessed to have 4 friends from Scandinavia visit us over SXSW week. In order to make them feel at home, we set up a big tent and converted our front yard area into a true Swedish rock festival camping area. Jesse and I got a chance to go see some shows, as well. As for most Austinites, SXSW week was a blur, and I only managed to get this one picture before Johan and Matthias continued on to New Orleans!
