Been out of the blogging loop for a few days. We have had company come in from Texas.
A guy that Clay was stationed with in Detroit - back in our pre-kid days!
(And then new parent days!)
He and his wife came, and their 2 1/2 month old daughter.
We had a good time - went to New Orleans,
ate lunch in the French Quarter,
ate lunch in the French Quarter,
walked around Jackson Square,
ate at Cafe DuMonde - yummy beignets!!! (Oh, and Cafe' au lait!)
Shopped the French Market - got a pair of Fleur di lis earrings I've been wanting.
We spent a few hours at the park on Saturday -
where a local hospital was just so happening to be celebrating their anniversary,
with FREE FOOD for all, catered by a great restaurant in town!
Music and good (free) food - how wonderful!
Kris, Clay and Joshie in Jackson Square

Joshua chasing pigeons!
Counting the blessings in life:
130 Seeing the city afresh
131 Walking those old streets of New Orleans
132 Stopping at an little out door "stage" where as a teenager,
on that very spot, my Grandmother danced to the Cajun music being played -
trying to get shy little me to dance with her.
(Both gone now...)
133 Having company
134 Friends who are beginning their walk with God
135 Questions asked about Him
136 Holding a baby again -
experienced hands at soothing and holding a new one
137 Beautiful cool weather!!
138 Cooking for friends - a big pot of Gumbo!
139 Feeling the push from God to begin memorizing His Word - again.
(He knows I need the push!)
140 Oh, and our New Orleans Saints are 9-0!!!!!
