Austin

We only had about a day and a half stop in Austin, on our way back to Dallas. We drove into town on Saturday afternoon and were able to meet up with the Connells, who had just gotten back from a 1.5 year stay in China! We had a delicious dinner at Chuy's and got our Tex-Mex fix -- it was great to catch up with Tommy & Ruth and let the kids play. We also got to drive by and see their awesome new house! After that, we headed up to Round Rock to spend the night at my friend Felicia's house. Aubrey and Kendra were so excited to sleep in the same room and use Kendra's trundle bed for the first time. There was lots of giggling and talking until about 10:30 when they finally fell asleep! Sunday morning, we got to go to our old church and see the new building. It was wonderful to be back and it just felt like home... We got to have another quick lunch with the Connells at Texadelphia and then headed over to visit some good friends & almost daily park buddies from our last house -- Aubrey & Will loved seeing the girls and we got to meet baby Trevor for the first time! We also drove through our old neighborhood and showed the kids our previous house. Luckily, our next door neighbors were home and the kids played together in the playroom for a while while we caught up. Sunday night, we stayed with the Ellistons in their rental house. It was so nice for them to let us stay with them, considering the fact that they were just about 2 weeks away from a big move to Dallas. The kids loved playing and swimming with Caroline. Monday morning, we made the drive back to Dallas for a few more quick visits before Robert's flight back to VA. We would have loved to see many more friends in Austin, so we hope to make another visit around Christmas. We love you and miss you Austin, Texas!
