We met in 2002 while we were both working at BookPeople in Austin, Texas. We got married on June 18, 2005 and now live in a small house in North Austin with our two dogs, Coltrane and Miles, and our three cats - Gnosis, Nona, and Kali. Brian works as an Editorial Assistant at the University of Texas Press and Elizabeth still works at BookPeople as a buyer and the Inventory Operations Manager.

On April 12, 2009 we welcome our first child, Oliver Mott, into our family and on February 12, 2013, his little brother, Henry Charles, joined us three weeks before his expected due date.

Zilker Kite Festival

On Sunday we took Henry to his first kite festival. It's an annual event here in Austin that magically lands on one of the most beautiful Sunday afternoons of the year every year. We took Oliver last year and had a picnic with Dauphin, Kelly, and Lindsey. This year our group was bigger by two kiddos and we were joined by Lindsey's mom. It was such a great afternoon. We swung by Salt and Time (a butcher shop and salumeria) on our way to the park and got some amazing cured meats and delicious fried chicken. We spent about three hours eating, talking, flying kites, playing tag, nursing, napping, and having a blast. The weather was beautiful and Henry was perfectly content to snooze and snack the afternoon away. We weren't ready for the fun to end after the festival was over so we all headed to the Draught House (a neighborhood bar near Dauphin and Kelly's house) and had a beer and continued to visit. I love this stage of babyhood where they are so mobile and content to do what they do (sleep, eat, and poop) wherever you happen to take them. Such a perfect Sunday.
