Home again… with kids

After a whirlwind visit to D.C., a week helping my Mom, and then a blissful weekend in Tampa with friends (more on that later), we are HOME.

And bounced right back into life. Kids, lunches, school, meetings. I had a productive day of recovery-agency-related focus groups, learned a lot, and enjoyed it. Paul spent the day in a work snafu. After a great visit to school seeing the faces of many people we love, we made plans for dinner out. We took our friend and babysitter-extraordinare, Michelle, to Frankie and Johnny’s and were able to bring along the consultant who hired me for the focus groups. In other words, it was a good New Orleans day. After that blissful weekend on the beach, we need a few more of these NOLA-moments to remind us of how and why we love this city.

Our number-one NOLA moment for the day: Kate reaching over to pick up Michelle’s oyster po-boy and before we could say boo — taking a HUGE bite. Twice. And then proceeding to grab oysters off the plate and shove them into her little mouth. That’s our NOLA girl!
