Mr. and Mrs. Aaron and Jennifer De la Garza Lueckemeyer



Wow that's a mouthful isn't it?

Another wedding, another weekend in beautiful central Texas. You'd think we'd get tired of this but we love the opportunity to visit our old haunts and especially to witness dear friends as they tie the knot. Last weekend's wedding was extra-special for us because our friends Aaron and Jennifer actually met at our wedding way back in October '05, and now we got to go to theirs. According to an old superstition that Sasha may have fabricated, it is good luck when people hit it off at your wedding, and when they get married themselves -- hello, jackpot!

Whoa there you two, wedding's not till tomorrow.

Also, with the coming release date of Li'l Moreno, Vol. 1 this June, we took the opportunity to a little research on baby gear. It was our first entry into a Babies 'r' Us and wow, what a scene that is. We're still too freaked out to actually buy anything, but it was a good warm-up for the Easter weekend shopping extravaganza we've got planned for Phoenix. Apparently there is a great deal of debate in the world as to whether as-yet-unborn infants prefer to spill food and vomit on yellow giraffes or pink rhinos, etc.

Sergio also got to shop for some toys of his own -- we finally got a new camera. We upgraded under the Canon brand to the Powershot G9 so hopefully this blog's photos will no longer be of pitifully-low resolution or include inexplicable grey lines like the pictures of the soon-to-be-dead in The Omen.


Now that's a good zoom.

The wedding was lovely, right at sunset on a gorgeous Texas evening. The happy couple were beaming.




Watch the booze there, 6-months.

One of the best aspects of the weekend was seeing our old friends Michael and Lisa Hyche, who we also had not seen since our own nuptials. They live in Cincinnati with their beautiful little girl Julia and are expecting a second child this fall. They are dear friends and we wish we could see them more often!




In addition to finally figuring out what boppy pillows are, we also ate some Thai food at Madam Mam's, checked in for church, had breakfast with Hillary Clinton's staff and just missed Gloria Steinem at Las Manitas and took a stroll through campus. Apparently there's now a Cesar Chavez sculpture on the West Mall.


I remember paying for this.

It was great to be back in Austin, see friendly faces and celebrate another match made in heaven.

Oh, and cool thing, we happened to share our plane ride home with Piper Stege Nelson who was doing important things in Mexico City this past week for work. Small world!
