First Easter

Easter is one of my favorite holidays. As a little girl I looked forward to putting on my new Easter dress and hunting for eggs out on the church lawn. It's such an important celebration and one that I look forward to teaching Jackson about as he grows older.

Lisa and Shawn came down from Tulsa and had a fun long weekend...

New Orleans

We took a trip to New Orleans last weekend. Chris and I had never been and it had been 20+ years since my parents were there so it was a fun experience for us all. Chris, Jackson and I flew down Wednesday night and met my parents there. We stayed in the French Quarter which was convenient but also very loud. Didn't get much rest as this city apparently never sleeps.
