Are you ready for some FOOTBALL!

Preseason football started last weekend for the Saints! Josh's boss gave us their tickets for the game, it was the Saints v. 49ers. We got Ashley to watch Avery. Here we are before we left.

 And momma and daddy had a football date night! We went to Allegro's before the game, there was a DJ and bar set up outside.

 Darus and Jamie and Mario and Kara met us out there before the game. We had a great time hanging out with them before kick off.

 Chip and Tanya's seats are club level, we had an amazing view of the field.

 It was a great night out for Josh and I!

 The rest of the weekend was very nice family time as well. Saturday we got up and spent the morning together hanging out. After Avery's nap we went to Olive Garden for lunch. Miss Thing was sooo well behaved. She colored and sat quietly and of course she ate her weight in pasta, chicken and sauce!

 On Sunday, Josh's parents came up early to join us for church. It was a great service and Avery was and Angel! I was worried because I had left her diaper bag at home with her juice cup, nunu, lovey bear, snacks (all the things that keep kids quiet in church). But she kept herself busy drawing on the program sheet, bouncing from mommy to daddy to Mimi to Papa to Summer, and finally settled in to eat some raisins I happened to have in my purse. After church, we all went back to the house and I started cooking. It was Josh's grandma's 76th birthday so we celebrated with Shrimp Fettuccine Alfredo, Cesar Salad and Garlic bread. Ms. Aleta made a mandarin pineapple cake for dessert. All in all it was a great family weekend. We are so lucky to be able to spend so much time with our families now that we are back home.
