While we were still in New Orleans, we tried calling our friends, the Roberts, who still live in Metairie. Funnily enough, they were in DALLAS while we were in NEW ORLEANS! We had swapped places! When we got back, they were still in Dallas for another day or two visiting family so we met up and had dinner at Scott's parent's house. 
Emily and Peyton were long overdue for a visit. Now if we could just get Peyton, Emily and Calyn all together again it would be like the three Amigos all over again. Chloe and Madison have yet to become as tight as these little buddies used to be, but they're working on it. Here Emily is showing me her skills with the hula hoop.
Baby chain! 
Check out those BLUE eyes! I always hoped our kids would have cool eyes, but Peyton's eyes are now just brown. There for a while, he had these cool slate grayish blue eyes that were awesome. He had them up to a year and then they turned hazel. Today at dinner, Troy noticed that his eyes are now more brown than hazel. I guess they are going to stay that way. :( 
While the babies were playing, there was a great bustle in the kitchen to get dinner underway. Aimee is making a fabulous salad with blackberries, mandarin oranges, red onions and pecans and Anita is making chocolate covered strawberries. The strawberries were so good that I craved them for a week and ended up making some for Chloe's birthday party. 
Silly 'Beans'. :) 
Chloe was having a time. She really was not happy with us after the long excursion in the car to N.O. and back and then being there for dinner past her bed time. That night she was anti-sunshine girl. :) 
Meanwhile, 'Beans' got to lick the spoon from the chocolate and was as happy as a clam, can't you tell? ;-0 Really, she was happy; I think I just startled her here when the flash went off. 
Thanks for having us over guys! The food was great but the time spent together was even better. Let us know when you're back in town and we'll cook YOU dinner. ;-)
