Mother's Day

I love Mother's Day! Makes me give thanks for my mom, grandmothers, mother-in-law, and all those who no matter the age have given me wisdom along the way! We headed to Baton Rouge to celebrate Mother's Day and it included a trip to the zoo, church with a nice lunch, visit to Mike the Tiger AND - I got to shop alone and out to dinner with Jeff! Lots packed into a weekend but loaded with fun. The funniest was watching Claire and Joel attempt to Cajun dance while we were all out to eat on Saturday night: PRICELESS!!!

Claire's First Dance Recital

She was beautiful and adorable to watch! She has been taking dance from "The Children's Dance Foundation" since January from Mrs. Stephanie and has loved it! Sweet girls she has danced with this year! They performed the end of the year recital to a poem called "The Owl and the Pussycat" at the historal Alabama Theatre. Beautiful setting for beautiful dancers to show their talents. Thanks to YaYa and Jim for coming to cheer her on! Here's a few pics of her big debut and her very proud family! Bravo, sweet Claire!
