big things on a saturday

these are 5 major happenings from yesterday, listed in order of importance:
 
1. hadley wore her first real ponytail today and she is now 13 years old.
 
2. as you can tell from the previous photo, the contractor has resumed work on our fence {praise hands}. fingers-crossed that it is complete by sun-down.
{but still, that ponytail! right??}
 
3. we attended an event for jon's organization this morning and hadley got to hear senator watson give a speech on healthcare in austin. when the senator's speech was over, hadley clapped more enthusiastically than anyone else in the room.
 
HEM meets MLK
 
4. after listening to the senator, jon treated us girls to lunch at avenue b grocery in central austin.


 

lunch was delicious and hadley had a big time playing around the picnic tables.
she would have been perfectly content to carry around that one chip the entire time and pick rusty bottle caps up off the ground. unfortunately, i had to divert her from the bottle caps at least 10 times because...tetanus or something.
 
jon's general feeling about the bottle cap situation.
