Our Trip to Lafayette

We made a quick trip to Lafayette this week to visit family. We arrived late Thursday afternoon and started the trip with supper at Don's. The stuffed crab was good, but the highlight of the meal was getting together with Terry & Suzie (Uncle & Aunt), Christopher (nephew), and Ana (niece), AND 10 week old great-niece Audrey Elise. This is a picture her Mom took. Everybody say 'awww.' She REALLY is that cute!!!! (& no, we weren't in the least surprised by that--her Mom is adorable too!)

After supper, we enjoyed visiting with Chris a little more, meeting his girlfriend, Heidi, and seeing the house. We're suckers for dogs and had a good time with Cooper & Bubba too.

We had another chance to visit with Terry, Ana, & Audrey at breakfast on Friday. We so loved another chance to catch up with Ana and to see (& hold!) Audrey. Mother & daughter were both a bit tired since Audrey decided she wasn't really sleepy the night before; Audrey caught a little 'shut-eye' at breakfast--hope she let her Mom get a nap in sometime later in the day!

We were able to visit with Terry a little while after breakfast before he headed to Toledo Bend for some visiting friends, fishing, and a crawfish boil. We saw Patti & Richard Dale (cousins) briefly on Friday afternoon, kicked back with an Abita Root Beer (Thanks Chris!) at the hotel room, and then joined Chris & Heidi for supper Friday night. We capped Saturday morning off with coffee with Suzie, her folks Joe & Melba, and her brother Pat. After stocking our ice chest full of boudin, andouille sausage, and crawfish (and icing down some Abita Root Beers for the road), we headed back to Pflugerville.

The trip was quick, but it sure was nice. We are looking forward to our next chance to visit; hopefully that will be sometime this summer when our nephew Heath is on leave from Iraq! We are truly blessed with wonderful nieces & nephews on both sides of the family and love any chance to visit with them.
