Happy Birthday, Austin!

We had a crazy week with Austin in DC for work until the eve of his birthday, then mass for the solemnity that evening and Lita in town the next day for his birthday and to pick up Gloria (more on that later). We had a nice dinner with Lita and the Cheas to celebrate our amazing Austin! We are so thankful for such a wonderful husband and father.

 While he was gone, Pawpaw and Manah came to help out, and Pawpaw graciously assisted me (more like the other way around!) in making Austin a BBQ zone with this unused wall in the pantry. Now he has all of his spices and tools at his disposal when he is ready to cook! Thanks, Pawpaw! Austin was thrilled!
