We flew Lauren and Austin home to spend some time with us while Taylor is in the field in Texas, unable to see his family anyway. They were supposed to be here by noon Saturday but in true American Airline fashion, they arrived twelve hours later. My friend, Erin Jackson picked them up from the airport in Dallas and entertained them with a soccer game, playtime at their house and a lot of conversation about life to help pass the time and help them feel a little less stranded. We are grateful for their hospitality.
Austin quickly warmed up to us and often reaches for me from his momma's arms which is a surprise because he and his parents are quite close. Given his age and how little we see him in person, we were prepared for separation anxiety and are delighted he isn't experiencing any.
Austin is pure joy. He had a very rocky travel day Saturday after getting five vaccines Friday but you wouldn't know it based on his smiling disposition. We are having a ball.
My parents arrived after lunch today to spend time with Austin. But first Ty got to show off his nephew at school, so proud to be an uncle and of this funny little guy who delights us.
