Being on Vacation is objectively better than Home

As I already had the chance to brag about mention, I got to spend the last week in Austin Texas with the World's Greatest Nephew and his super parents.  I did a little bit of job hunting, a pretty decent about of cooking and a whole lot of baby squishing.  There is not one part of Tyler that doesn't deserve a kiss or a squish. And he is very amenable to adventures.  He got to go to the pool!  Which he liked looking at more than splashing in.... And the Neighborhood Festival (where the rest of us porked out on Bake Sale)!  And to Rudy's for awesome BBQ! Where he got his feet cleaned in the handwash jacuzzi, and he came to a posh Derby Party, where he got cooed over a lot, and I got some good contacts about Austin Jobs.  He is such a great baby.  And I got to feed him peas and carrots, and change his tiny clothes and he even feel asleep in my arms BECAUSE HE LOVES ME.

And then we took a plane home.  And then Matt and I got violently ill.  I was hoping it was something we picked up while flying, but no, the Austin Family is out for the count too.  I was thinking I am pretty lucky have someone as nice as Matt to feel so dead awful with, and I did have the passing thought that having a Baby around would be impossible.  And then I found out Noel and Jessie both had it... So, not feeling so whiney anymore.  But yes, the vacation part was WAY more fun than coming home has been.
