Austin!

Last night we returned from our annual winter trip to Austin, Texas, to visit Aunt Abby, Uncle Brian, Maya, and Gary (the cat). Once again, we really lucked out with some amazing weather. And we made the most of the sunshine with plenty of park trips, a picnic, and golf. We spent Sunday morning at the Thinkery, Austin's children's museum. The kids were great travelers, and we couldn't ask for better hosts. We're already looking forward to next year's trip!

Big girl!

What a silly boy.

She insisted on bringing her cowboy boots. "Mom, it's Texas!"

We checked out the Thinkery on Sunday, which is a pretty cool children's museum.

Maeve needs to learn to share. Fortunately, Maya wasn't too bothered.
