Our last few weeks in Austin

empty kitchen (trust me)

 Even though we've moved out of the house, we're still hanging around Austin (and Kyle's still working at the Austin office).  Christian and Elke have been kind enough to put up with us at their place.  We leave tomorrow, and have packed (most) everything up in the five suitcases we will be living in until our shipment arrives, around the end of June. We've been scrambling to get all of the paperwork in order for accounts that are still open here.  We've also successfully listed the house, and already have renters signed up!  It was sort of like being on the Dating Game, where are property manager told us about the different couples that wanted the house (Couple Number 1 have been married for x years, have two dogs, and no children; they drive x car and are willing to pay two full pet deposits!). It's very odd thinking this move is really happening!

About a week ago we had a bit of a 'see us off' party at Black Star Co-op, which is, yes, our brewery.  Quite a few folks came out, and it was so nice to see everyone.  The usual rodeo gang was there, which was very much appreciated to get all of the kiddos together for the last time in probably 6 months or so!

We did not tell her to do this - she did it all on her own!

We also entertained ourselves a bit, with kite flying, the hose on a hot summer day, and bouncy castles.  Jam packed last few weeks.

p.s. If you just listen to the audio of the first video, I think it sounds sort of like Zoe's about to jump off a cliff or something.  But no, she's just flying a kite ;)
