NOLA Trip - part one

Two weeks ago Kevin and I got to take a trip just us to New Orleans for a couple days while the girls and puppies stayed in Lufkin with Cathy and Gary.

Day one - lunch in Baton Rouge, a plantation tour at Houmas House, and dinner in the french quarter at Chartres House.

Mother's Day Card

Allison brought me home a hand painted vase with a carnation and a homemade card from preschool today.  I can't stop cracking up.

Happy 33

We had a wonderful family day for my birthday Saturday.  Breakfast donuts with my dad, then a zoo trip and Chuys lunch.  After the girls naps we went to the Kayser's for a summer kickoff BBQ.  Sunday night we had a fancy dinner at Chef Pointe with my parents.

Girl power

Overheard from Allison's play: 

"Can the four princesses save the prince?  Of course they can if they work together".  There was some singing that went with this too. 

I'm a little surprised and a lot impressed.
