Howdy from Texas!

After a bit of hiatus, I am back to update the blog.  It has been a wild and crazy couple of weeks for the Brown household as we packed up and moved our lives to Austin, TX.  I am happy to say that we survived the move and are settling into to our new city.  While we miss San Francisco dearly we are so excited to discover beautiful and wacky Austin.

Before departing for good, we had one last visit from friends Ray and Heather who brought us some much needed dinner.  Kate was very sad to have to say goodbye.

With the boxes packed, the furniture wrapped and loaded onto the moving truck, Kate didn't seem too concerned as she played in her empty bedroom.

We couldn't leave without one last visit to the Grove for a latte and oatmeal raisin cookie.

It was a bittersweet moment to close the door one last time on Apartment 606 at 1801 Gough Street.  We had some amazing times and leave with a heavy heart and a bigger family. 

Ok, enough tears :-)  With our stuff on its way to Texas it was time to get ourselves there.  Four suitcases, two weary parents, and one sleepy baby arrived at Oakland airport for Kate's first flight.



Kate didn't seem to concerned about the new pat down security regulations. 


We made it through check-in, security, and boarding without any incident and we were ready for flight.  As we took off Kate fell sound asleep and slept the entire flight. 



We woke her as we were beginning our descent so that she could get a look at her new city.  Hello Austin here come the Browns!

We finally arrived! 

Thankfully Mia was there to meet us.


So this isn't a monster blog post, I'm going to close this one out.  Hopefully I can get Thanksgiving pics posted before Christmas :-)
