Sunshine and Bubbles

SXSW (South By South West) has again reared its hipster head, surprising me that it's that time already. Each year we host a band, get free passes, and enjoy the streets full of people, fantastic outfits, and music up the wazoo. This year will be catered a little more towards baby friendly events, since I'll have him strapped to me, but hopefully will still hold all its crazy charm.

The guys arrive in t-minus 10 hours and our house is far from primped. I've got junk to move, floors to vacuum, and schedules to plan to get us through the upcoming whirlwind. So I'll leave you with some pics we took this weekend-- an outfit collage inspired by the Texas Style Council (TxSC) events that I mustered up the courage to attend this weekend and Dexy-pie enjoying his first bubble experience. Sadly, not the stellar moment I had envisioned. Got the tired baby memo: bed is better than bubbles. And the outfit shoot was our first attempt. Plenty of room for improvement...

      Thanks Jess!! I think we squeezed in the last week of that hat. I think that's reason enough to have another bebe!

    Living in Austin for 4 years, I somehow never got to go to SXSW since it was always during spring break. I surely missed out. That tiny fedora is about the most precious thing ever on your beb!

      Aww thank you!! SXSW is definitely one of a kind. It's so fun and so exhausting all at once. You should come back to do it if you get a chance!

      You should! The Austin hipster in me has always wanted to visit Portland! I'll have to get some tips from you if and when that happens. :)

      Thanks! A happy laughing baby IS one of the best things out there fo' sho'.

      SXSW is a music and technology festival in Austin. It's MASSIVE. Goes on for about two weeks, thousands of people come in, about two thousand bands play, and it just takes over the downtown area. There really isn't anything else quite like it. Industry professionals come to basically find new acts, so most of the bands are small, unheard of ones. Lots have gotten their starts here though!
