The Passing of The Little Red Bird...

We had just sat down to dinner when "kwap" a red bird hit the upper window....we all raced out and hoped for the best but alas today we held a funeral for our lovely friend...nothing like this had happened since Oliver the Oven bird passed away 2 summers ago....

Dad showed up with crawfish and the kids went wild! We have a true Louisiana crew here...Lu and Jer even learned out to peel em!

Fat Tuesday picnic on the deck!

Gardening 101: prepping the soil... this is a "very Lu" Lu stance!!!

Cecily chooses to stomp in the remaining puddles!

Little Red Riding Hood and the big bad black Rosie stalking her!! When Rosie the cat came to us she was so tiny Cecily managed to "remind her of her place" daily...but now Rosie is returning the favor!!
