Safe and sound

Just a quick post to let you know that we left New Orleans for Austin well before the hurricane hit, and, as far as we can tell from vigilantly scouring the internet, our house appears to be safe. We're enjoying our time in Austin so much that we're going to stay here for a couple more days, giving New Orleans a chance to clean up and get the power back on. Elio's been having a great time, meeting tons of people, going swimming, and eating good food. I have lots of good photos to post, but, silly me, I didn't bring the cable to connect the camera to the computer with us in the evacuation packing rush. Next time (?!) I'll be better prepared. Thanks for all the well-wishes and checking in -- we certainly appreciate the concern and love. Cross your fingers that things look good when we get home!
