A New Kind of Texan

Cameron and I were in Huntsville, Texas last week visiting some of my closest friends and speaking at Sam Houston University of Texas. While there, I snapped a few photos of Ava Lynn who is the cutest little Texan I have ever met!!! Though Ava’s parents are from Alaska and California, the locals who know them love the fact that Ava is a ‘Real Texan’. I think she is a California girl at heart – even if she doesn’t know it yet!!





We had a blast eating grits, crawfish, and brisket, which much to my surprise was all pretty good! Mandy informed me that brisket was Texas’ form of Tri-Tip. (Tri-Tip is one of the Central Coast’s most delicious things!). Ava’s daddy was so sweet with her; I kept catching him singing “Ava Lynn….” To the tune of Adel vise – it was pretty sweet. Like me, Cameron found a gushy spot for sweet Ava. Once he got her to laugh he melted and she had him in the palm of her hand from then on. We miss you already Stewies!!
