HOME!
We’re home and so happy to be here. Paul has done an amazing job painting, framing, building, moving, and everything in between to get the house ready for us. The house is a disaster, stuff is everywhere, we have no idea where to put anything, and it’s hot as Hades, but it’s home and we are loving it.

Regular dishes on life in New Orleans, historic home renovation, raising kids, completing a PhD, travel near and far, global concerns, and health issues.
You know the story, right? International health... work all over the place... drag my kids around in sacks through villages in Central America... yadda yadda. I decided to go for another degree, so in 2004 we moved to New Orleans with no intention of staying. Then Katrina. And then *blink*blink* New Orleans is a completely different place and we just can't leave. Suddenly I'm on TV talking about immigrants and health and Paul is starting a company. Or two. His side is high-tech, mine is community health and our lives are yearly evacuation, regular celebrations, and nonstop work here, there, and everywhere. Our door is always open. I only ask that if you decide to go ahead and make yourself that mint julep, you make one for me, too.
We strive to make our life our argument.

Doesn’t it feel great to be in your own bed again? One of my favorite things is to come home after being away to my bed with clean sheets.

Hi Holly,
Heard that you are back to town. Welcome!! I am currently at Little Rock. Feng recently get a job here (purely a surprise for us. but it turns out that he likes the job well. So…) I will be spending most of my summer time here. We might be coming back to NOLA once in a while. We will let you know ahead of time. And we really hope to meet with Kate, in person. 🙂 Hopefully soon……
Best!

Thank you for all the warm welcomes home! Anyone in the area is welcome to stop by for lemonade (I’m telling you, the award for Domestic Goddess is mine) and to meet Baby Kate!
