It's a Rite of Passage

The first visit to Chuck E Cheese . . . a big occasion in a girl's life, indeed. Actually, it's Caroline's second visit but the first time she was only four months old and she slept through the whole thing. As you can see, she enjoyed herself a little more today.

Stuart Little seemed to trust her driving just fine, he looks like he doesn't have a care in the world.

This guy in the car with me is crazy!

Maybe he won't notice if I try to get out.

Yee Haww!

New House

Here are some photos of the new house, for the Mississippi folk who haven't yet been here!

Here are a few shots of inside:

And, finally, the room of the princess:

Now You See Her . . . Now You Don't

When we first moved into the house, Caroline would occasionally crawl under the upholstered chairs at the dining room table and then cry because she couldn't figure how to get out, or who "turned the lights out" for that matter. Common sense finally prevailed today and she couldn't seem to get enough of her new-found fun!



Go ahead and get a good chuckle at how much our lives have changed!

Jackson Pics

Obviously, we did a good bit of eating while in Jackson. As you can see, many of our photos are from the kitchen table:

Popsicle time wasn't going to be stopped just because we were across state lines:

So many new faces, so many new things . . . really tire a girl out!

Road Trip!!

Recently, we went to Jackson, Mississippi to visit Kevin's family. It was our first road trip with Caroline, and we were really a little nervous about how she would react to spending four hours in the car. As you can see, it really didn't bother her much.

She slept almost the whole way there and on the way home, she kept me thoroughly entertained. One of her favorite new "tricks" is to make sweet eyes on command. However questionable the sweetness is, you have to admit it's cute:

We will be posting pics from our Jackson visit soon. Hint, Hint to Kevin's dad!

Summer Splash Day

We took Caroline and Mackenzie and Jackson to a sprinkler park one day last week to cool off. Caroline's cousins also came along and everyone had a blast. Caroline couldn't resist a drink or two.

Popsicles, Anyone?

One of the favorite traditions of this summer has been nightly popsicle time. Caroline gets excited when she hears the plastic wrapper of the popsicles. Then she makes a bee-line straight for her daddy to sit on his lap. As you can see from the video below, she is very excited to share. While they are sharing, she keeps an eye on how many are left. Like a typical Louisiana girl, she is sad when the food runs out!
