Mothers Day Out

It's good to know they don't cry the entire day. Looks like they actually enjoy themselves.

Trip to New Orleans

Dinner at Palace Cafe...we had our first taste of two New Orleans favorites...Crabmeat Cheesecake and White Chocolate Bread Pudding.



Saturday morning we went out for beignets at Cafe du Monde. What is not to like about powdered sugar? Grace thinkgs they are finger licking good! Joe stuffed an entire beignet in his mouth...impressive.



Our first street car ride out to see Brian, Julie, and JK



Daddy does Grace's hair after our nap...the boys were patiently holding their tongues.
