Labor Day Weekend

Aunt Hanka arrived in Dallas on Wednesday, so we went up over the weekend for her to get started with Jennifer's dress. We were originally supposed to take with us my sewing machine, since it's better than my cousin's, but that turned into also bringing my cutting table and a dress maker's dummy. After we packed all the stuff in and finally left (after 8pm on Friday) I realized in Georgetown that the machine didn't make it into the car. So back we went and tried again. We eventually made it to Jfer's mom in Arlington before one AM.

Visiting Hanka's was nice. Kacenka is getting cuter every time we see her and while she was a little shy on Saturday, she really opened up the next day. Jennifer and aunt Hanka nailed down the final details of the dress style (always fun when you try translating terms that you don't quite know what they mean in either language) and it looks really promising. We just hope there is enough fabric. We're going back in two weeks for a fitting.

On Sunday, we invited Ron, Hanka, Kacenka and aunt Hanka over to Jennifer's mom's for burgers. If you think about it, Jerry and Rita have an awesome "entertaining" back yard with its perfect lawn and meticulously maintained pool. My family really enjoyed the afternoon. The food was great and Kacenka spend almost the entire time in the pool. The only bad thing was a plumbing incident which kept Jerry and Rita tied up for quite some time. I took some pictures, although my camera was configured incorrectly so they're a bit grainy.

We came back to Austin on Monday - missed a part we were invited to in the afternoon but made another BBQ party at Kat's. This means we had burgers three times this weekend, but we weren't complaining.
