Labor Day weekend we took a little road-trip down to Austin to visit the Kinzlers. We arrived Friday evening and had a yummy Russian dinner that Katya had prepared. The kids were so happy to see each other again. It took a while to get them all settled down enough to go to sleep.

Saturday was Ophelia’s third birthday. We celebrated all morning with her — blowing bubbles, hitting the pinata, coloring, eating, and finally helping her play with all her new toys.

That afternoon we ventured out to a local splash-pad to let the kids burn off some energy before the drive home.

It was fun to catch up with our old friends, even if it has only been a couple months since they moved!
