It's been quite a while since I blogged (okay, it's been a year). We've been super busy over here at Casa Lanier. It started with a giant kitchen renovation (more on that later) and now I have a kindergartner and a very sassy almost three year old. Oh and a fab new kitchen in which I have a dishwasher (que angelic hallelujah music) and a microwave that works much longer than 20 second intervals. Since we are crazy loco and my hubs is the bomb , we did pretty much all of if ourselves and we are still recovering! Any who, I wanted to catch up some of our long lost familia on the latest going ons so this is the first part of a recap of our summer.
June
My baby girls made their dancing (Marley) and stage (Mackenzie) debuts.
This picture just makes me want to sing "all the single ladies, all the single ladies."
Marley and her best bud Audrey were so excited about their first revue!
Serious posing going on here.
They rocked it.
Marley narrowly avoided a t-rex attack.
I love them.
We visited the effalant growth chart. They won't stop growing.
This guy put on a show.
Then my heart melted.
We read. The zoo added quotes throughout.
Like every other New Orleanian, the swamp monster is a Brees fan.
Being a little cajun, Marley narrowly avoided an alligator attack as well. We teach our children how to wrestle reptiles at a very young age down south.
It was determined that Mackenzie has to wear pigtails at all times, no matter what.
We took a ferry ride across the Mighty Mississippi.
And visited the Piazza d'Italia,
on our way to catch the streetcar.
As Cornell Landry told us it would be, the ride was breezy.
Cheezzzyyyy
Just in case you can't read that sign, it says that we are the world champions in the Big Easy. (Yeah, that rhymed and yes, I am a dork)
My future front porch.
We headed back downtown.
This streetcar was fast.
We stopped for some Superior margaritas and tacos. What? We're from New Orleans. A streetcar ride is not complete without a margarita break :)
Break over.
We caught a random downpour on our way back to the ferry and ran from awning to awning along the way.
We got soaked. It was awesome. June was awesome.
The End
