Well, I'm a little behind in posting. I'm including pictures of Pete's field trip to Baton Rouge recently. We visited the BR symphony and also the Old State Capitol. It is absolutely beautiful! I'm also bragging on Madi with softball. She's doing really well this year.

We had a really terrible storm come through south Louisiana yesterday. Seriously, I have not seen hail fall like that before in my life. I don't know if you can really see the picture. I opened the front door because the ground was covered with it, but Madi is scared of bad weather, so she is forcing me to close the door. I was more interested in the shot. The hail was blowing in, it was raining and blowing so hard. My neighbor had a tree fall on their house! We had some damage to our outside patio cover, but overall, I feel we came out ok.

Book Week

Last week was Book Week at the Lab School. The students had a book exchange, won free books, and Friday, the parents were invited to read with our kids for 15 minutes. Here is a picture of Madi and Pete. As you can tell, I obviously picked the best book b/c they look so happy! Honestly, we did have fun. I appreciate all these little moments that I can share with them.

Also, here is a picture from this morning of Pete and his friend Samantha. Samantha has a turtle that she got from a downtown Hammond pet store - so guess what store we'll be visiting this week. Actually, I think I can handle a turtle.
