Life will be great in Texas.

In Missouri

In Norman, Oklahoma

     Our family members arrived in Austin okay and are getting settled in.  Monday was the first day of school and work, as well as being Halloween.  The kids will have met their new teachers and new classmates, and hopefully gotten in some Trick or Treating.  I guarantee they were the best Harry Potter and Ninja Austin has ever seen.
     Every day will get easier from now on.  It is sort of like learning a new sport....you feel like a fish out of water at first, but eventually you will be functioning swimmingly.  Soon you will all unknowingly pick up that Texas drawl, too.  Want to bet?
