me and my house

this weekend i introduced casey to his version of heaven. we were invited out for a visit at the peavy ranch in blanco and we all had such a great time!

it was really nice to have lots of down time to hang out with the peavy family. jill and gardner are raising the most precious 2 year old boy, kyle. he is such a doll! he has something to say about everything and he made the weekend really fun for all of us.

katy and jay drove all the way down from dallas and brought their two canine children with them. it was just really awesome to hang out with no distractions and enjoy being away from being busy.

casey barked to his heart's content at everything from llamas to donkeys. he dug around their fresh water springs in search of the perfect rock. he flopped around in mud and got as dirty as possible. he tested the limits of his new knee- and surprised us all with how much he can run and play so soon after surgery!

kevin was crazy enough to ride his bike back from the ranch- about a 75 mile trip down farm roads that is so beautiful, i couldn't help but be jealous! i drove home to the sounds of an exhuasted snoring dog, thinking about how thankful i was for the beauiful weather and for the friends i got to share it with.
