Overdue for an update

I guess I have neglected the blog over the past week...but, with good reason. Nick, Carter and I traveled south for a few days. Nick and I went to the disaster that was the Sugar Bowl, and Carter stayed in Decatur and played with his cousins for a few days.

We made it to Decatur around lunch time on New Year's Eve, and were able to spend some time with Nick's family before heading to Nashville to fly to New Orleans on New Year's Day. It was nice to be at Andrea's on New Year's Eve when Nick's little sister, Stacey, called with BIG NEWS!!!
Playing Rock Band with Uncle Christopher {who ROCKS on guitar}
Carter, Banks & Mary Reese also had a big time playing {and eating yummy food}. Banks & Mar even got in some good practice for being older siblings for their new baby brother coming this March!

Eating sausage balls!

They also thoroughly enjoyed opening Carter's Christmas present from Popsy & GiGi.

Nick and I had a great time in New Orleans and enjoyed seeing and running into lots of our friends...some that we hadn't seen in quite some time! Too bad the actual game left a lot to be desired.

the most spectacular display we saw out of the Tide on Friday night

We flew back into Nashville this morning where we met Andrea, Debbie, Banks, Mary Reese & Carter for breakfast and a child-drop-off before heading back to Indy. It was a fun trip despite the fact that the Tide didn't really show up for the ball game, and we are glad we were able to make the trip. Thanks to Andrea for having Carter and to all of our family and friends who offered to keep him so that we could enjoy a fun trip to NOLA!

Happy New Year!

Sounds like a fun trip (even thought the game stunk). Avi spent 2 nights with Drew's mom, and it was nice having some free time! Glad you and Nick enjoyed yourselves!

I can't believe we didn't run into y'all in New Orleans! I wish I had known y'all were going to be there!

I'm glad y'all had fun in N.O. despite the abysmal performance of our team! Carter looks like such a "big kid" eating those sausage balls. He is such a sweetheart! Miss y'all bunches!

Love you!
