The
latest pictures as we recover. Next week we start looking for a house...
in St. Louis.
|
Say, brother, can ya spare a dime?
|
 |
|
|
Mama and Daddy really love me. They're taking me away from New Orleans
to a safe city of two million
people. Parks, Museums, the Zoo and the Botanical
Gardens. I can't wait!
|
 |
| I love being in Granny's arms. I hope she comes and visits
us often in St. Louis. Airfare is only $140 roundtrip on American Airlines
purchased through orbitz.com! |
|
|
|
Sometimes
you have to stop and smell the flowers. YUCK! These stink. |
 |
|
|
|
 |
| It's a
shame Granny and Grump don't move to St. Louis with us. Then they could
be safe from hurricanes too! |
|
|
|
Please come to St.
Louis with us. I don't want you to get hurt in a hurricane.

|
|
|
Read to me, NOOOOOWWWW!!! |
 |
|
|
|
 |
| I'm trying to chew with my mouth closed. It's harder than
you think. |
|
|
|
I'm cute! I'm cute! |
 |
|
|
|
 |
| Girls just want to have fun! |
|
|
|
...and read with uncle Mike. |

Clarisse
loves the outdoors, but the mosquito bites take their toll (see red bites
on cheek). Daddy loves sweet Clarisse. |

This is the lake that's
currently flooding our home. It's so beautiful, and only 14 blocks from
our house. Who would have thought that could be a bad thing.

Clarisse
shows early signs of the teaching gene.
|
 |
| How she's
grown in just 7 months! She loves peas! She loves rice cereal. We are amazed
at just how expressive she is. |

Bordes and Grump Bordes in the background. Yes, Elise's dad prefers to
be known as "Grump."

The Big Mouths!
Yes, so it took a while to update things! I promise new
pictures sooner next time.
