Sunday's St. Patrick's Day Parade

Daddy took Lily to the Metairie St. Patrick's Day Parade while I slept (I worked Sat. night). The sleeping picture is how she looked when he pulled up at home. She was a hit and got lots of stuff. Sorry we don't have any parade pics.

peek-a-boo

I know only parents and grandparents can appreciate how cute it is when their child learns peek-a-boo. I just had to capture it on camera if only for her to see when she gets older just how cute she was. I had to get her started but she really has picked up on this game. We had to do something to pass the time on the way back from Atlanta.

Hello from Helen, GA

We just got back from visiting relatives in Atlanta. Lily had a good time and slept so well at night. Kerry's cousins' kids entertained her all day. I kept forgetting to bring the camera inside to get pics with them. On the last day we went to Helen, GA--a beautiful town in the mountains 1 and a half hours north of Atlanta. It is like a little German/Dutch/Swedish village. The population is only 400. It is mostly tourist that come here. The Chattahoochee River starts 15 miles north of here and runs through the town so the water is so clean and pretty.

The first two pics are of the horse are of the carriage ride that took us through town. Lily liked the horse Molly and got to feed her carrots.

The next pic is of Lily trying her first pickle. She loved it. She must get this from Daddy b/c mommy hates them.

The rest of the pictures are just around town. I did not take many pictures but you can see from a couple of them just how pretty this town is.

hello all...

This was at GiGi and Grandpa's house. She is playing with Grandpa on the floor.

Our smiling cutie.

Some cute pics around the house

I just love these PJs. She is always in such a good mood in the morning.

I love babies in overalls--even little girls. One of the captains that Kerry works with made this rocker as a gift for her. Now she can sit in it all by herself. We are leaving fr a few days in Atlanta in the morning to visit Kerry's family. I will update with pictures when we get back. Wish us luck. It will be the furthest we have traveled with her.

Endymion Parade

Endymion was better for her. It was earlier in the day and we had a nice spot on Orleans Ave--- Thanks to Dominic camping out. Here she is chatting it up with cousin Bradley. Isn't he cute? He is as big as Lily who is 3 months older.

Cousin Sarah kicked back waiting on the floats. The kids (and grownups) had so much fun. Thanks Uncle Dom!

This was during the end of the parade when it was a little cooler. Daddy had his hands full trying to keep her safe from getting hit with beads.

Happy Mardi Gas!

This was the only part of the parade we got a pic of. The Budweiser wagon and the Clydesdales.

Lily enjoyed meeting the police horses. I think she thought it was a big Louie.

We had a great spot at the barricades but it got way to crowded and dangerous for a baby. The chairs were more comfy anyway.

With uncle Phil.

It was a great time. I think next year will be much more fun. A of now, Lily and I are getting over colds. I will try and post a pic from Mardi gras day in the Marigny but it was on Daddy's phone and I may not be able to pull it up. It was a fun morning. The costumes were amazing.

Friday night parade

Well, Mardi Gras sure was different this year. We were not concerned about floats or throws at all but worried about our little one. I cannot even remember which parade this was but we were uptown and she was happy for about the first 30 min, and then got tired and fussy. We walked back and went to Cannon's for dinner, after wich she perked up right away. As you can see from her afterward shot at home in our bed, she was happy as can be.
