We are still alive.....

Fatty and Flower McFlannagan are 8 months old and we are still alive. Since our last post, we moved (still in Louisiana but we needed more room), Mardi Gras'd, and much more. I hope to get some of that on the blog. We'll see.

Blessing day.

You guessed it! Blessing day.



The twins first night in their own room. We would have done it sooner but were refinishing the crib.....

Picture Update

Sam, contemplating his next meal.


A random photo of our table at the Clark Family Wee Witches and Wizards gala. We Southerners certainly know how to pah-tay!



Maddie always calls "dibs" on Sammy, and Abi always calls "dibs" on ......
Charlotte.


Oh how we love the rain. The lens fogs so easily because of the humidity, it's hard to get a clear picture. Here are the kids with some friends from the neighborhood and our Branch.

Seth insists on wearing his superhero shirts. Luckily, he has three.

Outings

We went with some friends to do a plantation tour. It was probably the muggiest, warm day that we have had here yet. We started with Oak Alley, which is the most photographed plantation here. It gets its name from the fact that a French settler planted 28 oak trees equally apart about 300 years ago. The result is worth the trip.




Our next outing was to the Audoban Aquarium in New Orleans. There is a ferry not far from where we live that takes us right to it .




Shawn's mom came for a two week visit so we all played tourist together. She is on her way back home today and we will miss her.
We have quite a long list of places and things yet to see. Be prepared.

The babies

Just a photo update...

Another year has gone by and you still reach for my hand with a wink and a smile. Happy Anniversary babe!

This and That

The girls started school this week and have done really well adjusting and making friends.
