BIG UPDATE! We're in Louisiana! Lots has happened since Christmas, including my little sister's wedding (which is one reason why we haven't gotten around to our blog in a while). Mike got a job in New Orleans as a cost analyst with a big company here. We're excited to be someplace warm! So here we are, in the middle of the ocean


This is our new house. Yes, we bought a house! Craziness! And I got my front porch! It's an older home and needs a bit of work, but wer're excited to make it ours.









Elizabeth and Lydia got to go to the New Orleans Audubon Zoo. Supposedly it is a very nice zoo, and that is coming from Elizabeth the zoologist, so it must be good. Lydia's favorite part of the zoo had nothing to so with the animals. She liked watching the kids go around on the carousel. Elizabeth loved the animals, the palm trees everywhere, and she really enjoyed getting a tan in March.





There are huge alligators at the zoo. They're in the special 'Louisiana' exhibit. It's for all us saps that don't get to see them walking across the road.
