Last weekend (January 21-22) we went to Lafayette while Mike was at drill. Peter made out with Jewel:

Dad and I took the kids to see a house they're building down the street. We had lots of fun guessing what each room would be!

From January 2012

We even made a list of what we saw, so we could see how much it changes the next time we go!

Later on Nathan brought Ollie over and he was attacked by my kids!

Peter even played peek-a-boo with him :)

Its been rainy lately, but when its not rainy, we go for lots and lots of walks! Please pray that no one gets hit by a car!

Hello everyone!!! We have been busy hanging out and getting back into a routine. I haven't been busy taking pictures, but here are a few!

I know LSU lost, horribly, but this is still cute:

Mick can walk on the ceiling!

Cars, Cars, Cars!

Last weekend, Kendra and Daniel came in town for the Louisiana marathon. Kendra and I ran the half- it was her first and she did awesome!! :)

On Sunday, Nonna came to visit and here are some pictures Mike took before she left:

I have a slight obsession with the song "Home" by Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros.

Here it is if you don't know it, and here is Sara singing it :)

Hope you're well :)

January 7-8: Nice Weekend!

Saturday afternoon we barbecued some chicken and hung out in the yard.

Sara found some roly polys!

On Sunday, I wasn't feeling well so Mike took Sara and Mick for a run while Peter and I took a nap. They played at the beach for a while!

January 2-6: Back to normal!

We had a nice week getting back to normal. Mick and Sara went back to school on Thursday (thank goodness) and we are settling into a nice routine again :)

Here is Mick's "hiding spot"

The weather has been so nice so we spend most of our time outside. We go for lots of walks and Sara loves her new scooter!

January 1: Happy New Year!

On New Year's Day, Amie and Paw-Paw came over to welcome the new year with us!

Mike made an AMAZING pork roast and Amie made the coleslaw and the black eye peas. I made a chocolate cake :)

December 31: New Years Eve!!!

On New Year's Eve, we walked down the street to the track at the high school.

We had a great 2011! Peter has gone from an infant to an inquisitive (and destructive) toddler. He can say a few words: Ma, Da, dog, truck, train (can you tell what his favorite things are?). Mick has gone from being a toddler to a kid who has an amazing imagination. He can turn almost anything into a car or airplane and is already setting up scenarios with his toys! And Sara is getting so big! She wants to do absolutely everything herself and gets so upset if you try to help her. She carries her purse with her everywhere! I know this is just a glimpse into her teenage years. Mike is doing well also- he got an NEA grant for a project he's been working on! I'm so proud of him :) I am so blessed that I got to spend the last year with them and I am looking forward to more time together! 2012 is starting off a little rocky with ear infections for both boys, but I am hoping it will get better from here on out! Sara will be starting kindergarten in the fall (crazy!), Mick will be in 3 year old preschool and Peter will start 2 year old preschool (super crazy!) I am sure we will have lots of fun adventures to share with you :)

Happy New Year!!!

December 30: Audubon Zoo

On Friday it was an absolutely BEAUTIFUL day so we headed to the Audubon Zoo (thanks Nonna and Baba for our membership!) We had a great time!!! (Peter is a little frightened of crowds so I had to hold him most of the time- which is why there are no pictures of him!)
