This is a collection of pics around the family support of Ma Munger in her stay at Christopher House. Some of the views capture the closeness and the love in life affirming relationships in spite of this stage of her terminal illness. CH is a gift to Austin and the only facility of its' type in central Texas.

This collage captures a family dinner up town. Usually these large events are at home, but with Ma Munger in hospice and out of town guests, we met Dave and Kerrey at the Four Seasons for an extraordinary night out.

This shot is taken on January 1 at the Auditorium Shores fountain. The sun starbursts through the Lone Star and the spray sparkles the radiated light. It was a great start to a new year in a great city...Austin Texas

At the Trio cafe in Austin there was a star sighting.... wait, it was KENT!

I enjoy this picture of Jackson as it captures a few aspects of where he is developmentally. Notice his fingers pressed down as they steady his first steps so he can peer above the table. What a new world to explore! His grandmothers luster ware holds the imagination of a crystal ball.

Jackson walks with aid of table

Jackson David is now pulling himself up to the coffee table and taking steps to work his way around. This collage summarizes this progress with an array of pics on his new accomplishment. Proud of himself? Probably the awe of just being able to pull in the sights and better scope the room activity is more than enough at this age.

Jackson David

Fun photos of Jackson David at the Gateway Community Church baby dedication. Jackson had a big time following going to Chuys' for lunch.

Pigeon Poop

Pa Munger shares a childhood memory and like many of our early impressions it involves the most basic of animal kingdom behavior, elimination. We had a good time at Mas' 81st birthday and over the three hours a great deal of story telling took place. Yeah, this is a cautionary tale, even in Birmingham you can get the bird.

Ma Munger Birthday

On February 12 we had a great family event and evening honoring Nancy Mungers' 81st birthday. This Austin based party invited Debras' family, all in Austin, and Kerrey flying in make it special. Nancy and family was there at all times all though work required their physical presence in Detroit. The location of choice was Trio at the Four Seasons and the food and service was stellar. Ma Munger lite it up and if laughter was an indicator the night scored a five star... above are the "Red Carpet" couple, posing for the paparazzi.
