We took a day trip to Austin on Saturday, October 17. We hadn't been down there since our good friends Charlie and Emily Rajeh had their baby boy in May. We left mid-May to head out to Albuquerque for the summer, and since we've been back, I've been busy with school and Stephany has been working most weekends at Starbucks, making it hard for us to get out of town.
Here is a picture of us on Town Lake (now called Lady Bird Lake, in honor of Lady Bird Johnson, former First Lady and long-time resident of the area), with the Austin skyline in the background.
I used to live close to the lake and enjoyed running and biking along the trails there. We spent part of the afternoon walking through Zilker Park, which Stephany had never visited. The park has a little train called the "Zilker Zephyr," which I can remember riding as a kid with my dad on a trip to Austin. We thought it would be a fun family trip to come down and take our little guy on the train in the next few years!
And here are a couple pics of Steph, featuring our growing little boy! She's getting bigger by the week (23 this week)!
We were really glad to be able to spend some time with Emily and her son Laith that day, who we had the great pleasure of meeting. He is definitely a charming little guy with a great personality and a great hairdo. Here are some pics of us with little Laith. (His team won that day against Oklahoma.)
Emily's parents Roger and Patricia and her sister Sarah, good friends of ours, were also in town, so it was an added bonus getting to see them. We're thankful for good times with good friends and short, spur-of-the-moment day trips!
