Austin

Thursday when we arrived John picked us up and straight to Matt’s house we headed. Waiting for us there was a big group of our old friends. It was so nice to see everyone and so nice everyone took the time to come see us. Friday we got up and went out on the lake. It is one of the things I miss the most. The lake looks more like a river but it has big beautiful houses on it and the hills around it just make it very pretty. The Girls loved being on the boat. We docked the boat at Hula Hut and had a yummy lunch. That night we moved to Marci’s house to catch up with more friends. We stayed up way to late laughing and drinking wine there. On Saturday we met at my favorite breakfast place and had the best breakfast burritos. Every meal there is served with chips and salsa and breakfast is no exception, Av was in heaven. Saturday John, Matt, Andrea (Matt’s girlfriend) and Jeff took the girls swimming at a natural pool while I went up to see Trena’s twin girls. They are so sweet and special and cute. I cherished every minute I got to spend holding them and loving on them. Saturday night I met back up with everyone for dinner. We went to a restaurant where you could eat outside and there was this big open yard like thing that kids were playing in. Av took off to play with the other kids by herself and spent the whole dinner playing. She had no interest in eating with us. I was so proud of her. A month ago she would not have done that. She was running and really keeping up with the other kids. It is pretty neat to see her come out of her shell. The entire weekend the Girls were very good and loved being the center of attention. They stayed up late and went to bed easily. We had such a nice time laughing and catching up with everyone. We will forever miss Austin and our wonderful and special friends we made there. The flights home were uneventful. It was very nice to have John traveling with us. Made it much easier.
