Crawfish

Crawfish again! This was our second crawfish boil this year - this time on Memorial Day weekend. Thanks to all our friends who have served in the military!

We were lucky to get crawfish - everyone in town was out! We improvised for the lack of enough crawfish and boiled shrimp, which was a great choice.















And Brandon the chef!

Happy Mother's Day!



Brandon had yet another surprise for me - a sushi cooking class for Mother's Day! We had such a fun time. We learned how to make spicy tuna rolls, miso soup, edemame, and nigiri. It was lovely!






Trip to Gran and Poppy's House



We went to Gran and Poppy's house in Natchitoches. They had a baby pool that Benjamin played in. Brandon rigged up a house to sprinkle on him, and he had a blast!













Happy Birthday Dove!




So Brandon planned a surprise birthay trip for me. I knew we were going to Fredericksburg for the weekend, but I didn't know that our friends would be there to surprise us. We had an awesome time - I was VERY surprised!

Happy Easter!

We are all very excited for Easter! We are heading to the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion for our Easter service tomorrow.



The screen is smudged from Benjamin playing with the camera. It took me several pictures before I cleaned it...






Does Jonathan look bigger than Benjamin in this picture?



My favorite boys!


First meal and not really a fan yet.






Jewel, Marcus, and Isaiah came from Dallas to visit a couple of weeks ago. Jonathan and Isaiah had an great time playing together.

Well, last weekend was a sad one. We finally took away Benjamin's pacifier. We only let him have it at bed time, but it was past time to give it up after two and a half years. I had been telling him that he is a big boy and that big boys don't have paci's. I told him that one day he would have to throw it away. Saturday night, he said, "I throw paci' away!" So he threw it in the trash. I think he thought it was going to be a game because he said, "Paci' back?" and when we said no, he threw an enormous fit. It was pretty sad for the next two hours. This week has been tough getting him to sleep, but I just keep telling myself it will pass. I hope I'm right!

Jonathan got in his exersaucer for the first time this week. He loves it! He turned 4 months old today, so I think this weekend we'll start giving him cereal. Stay tuned for those pictures...
