Wish you were here...

Another day in Austin. Z and C checked on our houses and all is well! They also cleaned out our freezers, thanks Z and C!! No power back yet, and a loss of all of the goodies in the freezers but the houses are good. Yay! Paul, C, and LW are going back to Houston tomorrow to check things out, along with TJ's cats. TJ is staying with me and all our kids here in Austin till the guys tell us it's more civilized to come home. Don't know when that will be. I had to cancel my trip to the Council for the Opportunity in Education conference in DC. My flight is scheduled for Wed. We were going to also meet up with ER and her family while there, but it looks like it won't happen. Bummer. LW has to work at Mission Control on Thurs. She's also still without power.

At least Anna and I are getting some fun family and friends time. TJ and I took the kids to the Austin zoo today for a few hours. The weather was nice and cool and it was a good trip!

Again, it sucks it takes a hurricane evacuation to pull us all together again.

This year's evacuation has been about Mac vs PC, hurricanes in people's bellies, Guitar Hero, and just catching up overall with friends and family. We'll miss the crew that will leave tomorrow but Tami and I will continue to enjoy our time here at my mom's.
