Washington on the Brazos

Gabriele and Andy came up with the great idea of having a picnic at the Washington-on-the-Brazos historic site/state park. A bit of Texas state history: the Texas Declaration of Independence was signed on March 2, 1836 in the town of Washington (on the Brazos river, of course). The park actually encompasses the historic town site and is a great place to see lots of Texas wildflowers in the spring.

Yummy food! Thanks to Gabs and Andy for providing sandwich fixings, drinks, and chips!

This is Matt's favorite photo. We walked along this trail for about an hour. The weather was truly perfect (sunny, not too hot).

All we need in this photo is a cow or a horse, and it would be 100% Texas!

Gabriele and Matt in front of "Independence Hall."

Beautiful flowers. We need to buy a Texas wildflowers book, because I have no idea what these are!

Fall & Winter Update

WOW! Is it really spring already? We've been slackers about our blog--so sorry we haven't been putting up pictures on a more regular basis. This post is basically a random assortment of photos from the past few months. Enjoy!

The Dubriwny clan gathered in Tulsa in December for our reception. This is our nephew Jacob and his fabulous dinosaur hat.

Christmas with the folks. Dad received this "angel/santa/chef" from Grandma Betty.

Back outside with the boys...

Cosby really wanted to be playing ball with Jacob and Ive Jr., but Mr. Nic wouldn't let him!

Finding the perfect dress for the reception took about 15 minutes. We took this photo to send to my mom to get her opinion. Our Christmas tree looks pretty sad next to Amazon woman!

We spent Thanksgiving in Tulsa. Cosby is waiting eagerly for bits of flying turkey. He was well fed that afternoon. (Dad only sliced two of his fingers!!)

Our pumpkin for Halloween.

The family at Thanksgiving. Thanks to Nic and Ash for being such great hosts!

The dudes abide.
