The boys and I have been in Baton Rouge terrorizing the locals for a couple of weeks while husband has been busy with work in DC and Dallas. We are heading back to Dallas this weekend provided TS Bonnie doesn’t derail those plans. We have had so much fun in Baton Rouge, and are incredibly sad to go back to Dallas.

Miguel: pedals a tricycle, adores Raising Cane’s, loves going with Sweetie every morning in “Sweetie’s black BMW car in my [car] seat” to Kids Count, and thinks (scratch that, knows) his Uncle Bo and Aunt La La hung the moon just for him.

William: found his dance groove, outgrew his sandals (now in a size 7), hollers “Mom-meeeeeeee” every morning when he wakes up, loves to hide in Sweetie’s window curtains, knows where Nonnie keeps the Andes mints stash, and gives knuckle bumps to everyone.
