Back in Texas

Our flight was at 6:55 AM this morning, so we woke up at 4:15 AM to finish packing and to load our luggage into the car. We ate a quick breakfast and then woke up Lydia at the last minute, so as to expedite the departure with to interruptions. Sing & Maggie took the same flight as we did, but they didn't have enough room in their rental car for our luggage (4 check-ins and 3 carry-ons), so Toan drove us to the airport. As luck would have it (again), the flight was not full, so Lydia got to have her own seat. She fell asleep soon after take-off and woke up about fifteen minutes before we landed. *Note to self: Lydia is more likely to sleep if we take an earlier flight.*

Jimmy picked us up from Hobby Airport and dropped us off at my parents' house, where we had a bite to eat and then took a nap. Sasha looked quite fat when we saw her; I don't know if it's because we were playing with little kittens these past two weeks or if Sasha has been veging out. I guess I'll have to start portioning out her food again. Later we went to Mike's townhouse to help with some odds and end, and then off to Jimmy's house to visit with some younger church kids. Lydia missed her afternoon nap, so hopefully she will sleep well tonight despite the time change. Tomorrow we head home and our vacation is pretty much unofficially over. It has been great fun, but we sure do miss our home oh, and sleep.
