Surprise visit

We got a phone call recently that made it look like we may be able to leave in a couple weeks.  While we were all excited, Lillian's expression quickly changed to tears realizing she would not see her best friend again.  I got on the phone and us moms came up with a plan.  We surprised Lillian with a visit from her bestie.  Lillian cried again but this time happy tears!

NOLA

Our good friends from Florida came to Louisiana for their anniversary.  Bruce and I loved our time in NOLA so when they asked if we wanted to join them we jumped on the opportunity.

Food and music are our favorite things in this city so Bruce looked up who was playing while we were in town.  Bruce's favorite jazz musician was having a show that night.  We didn't have a clue what a special treat it would be.  When we arrived at the hotel we found a large parlor area with chairs and couches all around.  We picked a place in the back and were able to enjoy Kermit Ruffins play for a few hours.  Kermit even cooked and brought Red Beans and Rice to share with the audience.  ONLY IN NOLA :)

I think we ate every 3-4 hours in order to get in all the places we wanted eat!!

Visit to the Shore

We plan to leave the country June 14, so this visit to the Shore will be our last for a couple years.  My brother just moved to this house on the water so this is where we spent most of our time.  The kids loved paddling around and enjoying their cousins.  Although they do not have much time together their bond is so sweet.

I gave them money and sent them to the Corner Bakery.  They were shocked I was allowing them to go alone.  I said y'all better act right or you know someone will call and let me know!! #smalltownlife




It was so windy but we laid on the beach for a while anyway.
