Back in Texas

After a wonderful and lengthy stay in Illinois, we are finally back at "Gavin's house." Gavin did a great job on the plane despite a two hour delay in St. Louis due to a storm that closed the airport for a short time. Luckily Grandma Nancy and Grandpa Joe stuck around to help me chase Gavin through the airport (The southwest ticket agent was kind enough to give them a guest pass so they could hang out at the gate with us). We were supposed to leave St. Louis around 1pm but didn't depart until after 3pm. Needless to say, we missed our connection in Dallas but were fortunate to get on the 5:40 flight and into Austin just before 7. It was a long day but we made it. Now we are trying to get back into our schedule and of course adjust to the heat. Plenty of sunshine and humidity has welcomed us back.

Here are a couple of pictures and a short video of Gavin's activities during our visit home. He has moved from making mud pies to chasing bubbles and playing in the sprinkler and pool.
