Where it all began...

What a fun family!

This will be our last entry from Texas. The house is full of boxes and we are fixin' to leave. Sunday I had one last shoot at the Capitol. Our Yoga instructor and her family. It was fun to meet her family and to capture their happiness. Kyle and the kids joined us at the end and Kai took a picture of us at the front entrance, the very place I first saw Kyle when we were both 17.

All 8 of us hit it off and it felt like the last day at camp. I know we'll see each other again.
Well, Saturday we'll load 2 kids, 2 cats and lots of stuff and it's Wagons West. In-N-Out, here we come! Good bye, Texas, thanks for everything!

YUM!

Party at the Dutys

Sunset

Saturday evening our cul-de-sac had a block party to say good bye to us and hello to Ramy and Tiffany, who bought our house. Everyone brought incredible dishes, yum. We feel sad to leave these incredible neighbors when we move, but look forward to coming back to visit our friends. The weather could not have been more perfect and the day ended with another incredible Hill Country sunset.

HALLOWEEN 2007

Halloween is always an exciting time at the Duty's. The kids decorated the house with spiderwebs and pumpkins. Makena dressed as a Kitty Cat (Meow) and Kai, for the first time, wanted to be something scary: Scream. We attended a very fun block party at a neighbor's house and then set out for trick-or-treating. Kai stayed home for a while, posing as decoration, in the hope of jumping and frightening older trick-or-treaters: it worked!!! We ended the night by trick-or-treating at the kids' teachers' houses, eating homemade witch's fingers cookies.
