Stupendous September

I have only worked two full weeks out of the past six. Both of these Turkeys keep getting sick!
The day after Drew got tubes, Anna got strep throat (again), which morphed into scarlet fever. She refused to take her medicine, so the next day we had to go back to the doctor and get a shot. Take a look at her tongue- it's called "strawberry tongue" and it's a side effect of strep/scarlet fever. I was a little too excited by it.



Drew now says, "uh oh!" and drops everything.



So the kids missed picture day at school. I took some pics of Drew by himself.



Over Labor Day weekend, we were hit by Tropical Storm Lee. We got a lot of rain, and the kids got a little stir crazy. This is what happened when it rained Trix cereal.



Clean up, clean up...



He thought it would be fun to walk on the cereal. Not so much after a while.



All of my laundry baskets disappear for rides.



My entire family came into New Orleans for the weekend to celebrate my dad's birthday. We made him a cake. Anna and Drew did the quality control.



The house is just about finished!! It's been a long six years since Katrina, but it will be worth it! Stephen has moved in and is in the process of furnishing it. Mike and Amy even installed closet organizers while they were in town.



You lookin' at me?



The birthday boy- 66 years young!



His trophy wife:



Anna was taking pictures (if you couldn't tell).



Stephen and his new honey, Melanie. She bravely survived dinner with ALL of us!


It was a fun weekend. Yay for family!
