Nursery

Louis is growing so much! He can now prop himself up on his hands while sitting. Yesterday, he went to nursery for the first time. He seemed really happy. He was exhausted, though! He slept all night, ate at six and slept two more hours. He has taken three Naps today. I hope he gets a little more used to the action at Small World before August!

Summer...finally!

Friday was my last day of school, and I am beyond excited to be home with Louis for two months! To start off the summer, we went to the pool Sunday and Monday. Getting a baby ready for the pool is exhausting! Good thing he doesn't mind the sunscreen process. He loves to sit on the top step of the pool and watch the other kids play. He also loves to sleep in the shade. Go figure. I bought him a baby pool yesterday, so I figure we'll use that a lot instead of hauling everything to the country club. I know summer will fly by, so I'm trying to spend ad much time as possible with Louis before school starts back! It'll be here before we know it!
I don't have any pool pictures, but here is a random cute one...

Mother's Day

So you know how your mom always said "Oh you don't have to get me anything. You're my gift."? She wasn't kidding. Although Louis did an awesome job picking out my gifts (thanks Rob), I really couldn't ask for anything more than the perfect baby God blessed me with. Mother's Day should not only be a day to celebrate mothers, but it should be a day to he thankful for your kids.

The Flood

As all of you know, our city is preparing for a major flood. Many places are already covered with water, and countless others are just waiting for it to creep up. Sadly, the lake house is feeling the effects already. I guess Louis will not spend his first summer at the lake :( however, I am very grateful that it is not our primary residence being threatened by water. Please pray for those who have evacuated and are so unsure of their future. 

Made my day

As the school year nears the end, everyone gets a little wild. My class is so awesome, but we are ALL ready for June! Today I got the sweetest gift from a student. It was so unexpected, but it made my day:

Mr. And Mrs. Cliff Herring

This weekend I went to Rosemary Beach, Florida for Nikki and Cliff's wedding. Everything was beautiful-especially the bride. On Saturday, we laid out on the beach for a while. The weather was beautiful. I just wish Rob and Louis had come.

Springtime

We have been so busy for the past month or so that I haven't had time to blog. A few weeks ago, Rob and I went to Memphis for Shannon and Joey's wedding. This was our first night away from Louis. I was really sad to leave him, but the weekend was really fun and we had a great time at the wedding. We were having to much fun at the wedding to take pictures, but I did get a shot of the Pebody ducks (I made Rob take me to see them).

Waiting for the ducks

The next weekend, my friend Alana got married in Baton Rouge. Rob didn't make the trip for this one, but Louis did. I had to get him introduced to his future college town at a young age. The wedding was perfect and Alana was beautiful.

My college roommates, Erin and Addie came to meet Louis!



The beautiful bride, Alana



We have had two weekends at home to enjoy with our sweet Louis and our friends. The weather has been nice, so we have had friends over the past two weekends to cookout. This is a huge perk of our new back yard/patio. It's so private. And, Rob did a great job getting the yard landscaped while I was out of town. He is awesome. Maybe I should start hiring him out....

Yesterday was Louis's first Easter. The Easter Bunny went a little overboard, and visited him at 3 houses. We went to church and then had time with our family that afternoon.

Loving everything the Easter Bunny brought...

especially his new elephant

Ready for church

We have had a busy Spring so far, and it's not over yet! Two more weddings before the end of May!!
