Catching Up

Here is a small pictorial of our activities since making waitlist; but first I will start with a few pictures from our Happy Holidays in Louisiana!Audubon Insectarium is a new activity in New Orleans. It's a great place, especially if you like learning about creepy, crawling things. The kids loved it! These are some shots from the butterfly garden at the end of the tour. If you look closely, you will see a butterfly in there somewhere. I love butterfly gardens. They are great places to think.



No trip to New Orleans is complete without a visit to Cafe Du Monde for some beignets. As you can see we ate them all! There went all my WW points!
The "Audubon Zoo" in New Orleans. If you have never been, you should go. I must say, it is one of the best zoos in the country! This is a rare leopard (I can't remember the name), but there are only about 30 left in the world.  Audubon is attempting to stop this trend; they were successful in breeding 1 baby last fall.

I love white tigers! Audubon does a really great job keeping their animals healthy, and happy. You never get the feeling that their animals are mistreated. 
B and I at the zoo in front of the elephants. B's favorites since he was 2 months old.
My cousin Tsega, and little N (he's 2). He was all over me this Christmas, and I loved it. Lots of hugs and kisses. This is probably one of the few times he wasn't right next to me. He is such a sweet boy.
Your eyes are not deceiving you. There are 5 boys in this picture. As you can imagine, my family can't wait for a little estrogen to balance things out a bit.
Baby M, my nephew, wondering why his mom put that monkey on his back! He was only 14 months in December, and I must admit, that little monkey kept him from running away the entire time we were out. 

B and his cousins C and M at "City Park" in New Orleans. These photos were taken in Storyland.
