It was emotional also because it was our last trip to Natchitoches, that special, peculiar, beautiful little town that my dad has lived in for the past fifteen years... My dad and his wife and son are moving to Portugal in two weeks, and where it's been an easygoing 5 hour car ride, will now be many long, expensive, airborne miles between us. I am happy for my dad, that he is retiring where and how he has always wanted to, but I am sad for me and for my children. I don't know when we will see each other again, after he moves (he is making one last stop through here this weekend). I am so sad that my boys will not have the memories that the girls do of their Opa.
Last weekend was also my sister's high school graduation - a happy and exciting reason to visit and celebrate!
After her graduation, we celebrated with swimming and crawfish! Five hours of nonstop swimming and many, many, MANY crawfish!
Henry was really attached to Davis all day, it was sweet.
And I was glad, because when he wasn't, he was trying to jump into the deep end of the pool with no floaties on! Crazy boy. He also kept trying to eat the crawfish with their shells on.
The same kid who used to eat bananas without peeling them. Do NOT stand between this boy and his food! Sophia was in Heaven, talking to high school girls!
And Wyatt was just happy being passed around, as always.
He never really got a nap that day, so he snoozed, by the pool, with dozens of people being loud all around him, splashing and kids. Oh and a band. I love this baby.
There may or may not have been a sheep there. Louisiana crawfish broil swim party = sheep. Right?
Things have been hectic this past week. I kept telling myself things would slow down after school was out, but actually it's been crazy! Work is busy, I've had two parties for friends, a church dinner, Sophia's upcoming birthday, and a month of out of town guests coming (4 different friends and their families!). Happy things. But busy times.
