Austin Alum Get Together

Today we got together with some my friends from high school and their many children. This is the third time we've done this (most recent time was here). I hope we keep this tradition rolling for some time.
There were seven or eight previous alum this time, the surprise guest was Julie Edwards, in from Montreal. I joked last time that we're on the way towards hosting the unofficial class of '91 reunion and we're kind of on our way. It's kind of strange but I was closer to more people from that year than from my own.
Felix got to spend some time next to August, whom you may know from Carrie's blog. They were born only a few days apart so it was interesting to make the comparison. Our boy is kind of chunky and he looks much bigger.
Relia got to play with about 20 little girls aged 8 to 1 1/2. She was in her element. Laurie hosted and she has a wonderful playset in her backyard. The kids swarmed all over it. There was also a fun sprinkler and several changes in and out of little swimsuits. At one point Relia found a bag of licorice and just carried it around eating and eating. There was then an intervention.
It was a great time and I'll link to some pictures when they go up.
