Mr. Powell Comes to Austin

Two weeks ago our dear friend Matt Powell came to Austin for a conference. He was able to take an afternoon "off" and come hang out with us. He had met Jasper before, but not since April when Jasper was just 4 months old. Jasper certainly didn't have his fully developed personality like he does now. And he wasn't grabbing for all things electronic (phones especially) like now.

Imagine Jasper's total delight when Matt pulled out his Blackberry to show us a photo of his son, Jackson. Goodness, Jasper almost didn't know what to think of it. It was a phone with lots of cool buttons that lit up and made noise like our phones. But it had pictures, too. Matt had to keep a firm grip on it to keep from losing it forever to our gadget addict, um ... I mean his son. :)


We had a nice albeit short visit with Matt, but we're looking forward to hanging out with all the Powells when we're in Michigan for Christmas.
