Our trip south has a certain bittersweetness. We'll spend time together for the first few days with Lynda, Olivia, Esteban and Isaac Gonzales. They are as close to family as they come and long time Austin friends. We're sure to have many adventures including snow cones, Barton Springs, plentiful and cheap authentic Mexican, live music, running Town Lake in the humidity and lots of play and laughter. Come Sunday, however (Father's Day coincidentally) Sloan will be picked up at noon by her Dad for a 2 month stint with him, her stepmom and new half brother (who was born just 2 weeks ago). I'm content to know Sloan will have much needed time with the other part of her family...but, I will miss her this summer! August 30th will mark her return date to Bainbridge Island and in the meantime I look forward to those intermittent texts, emails and facebook postings.
Onward to Austin!
