A Wonderful Easter

Elizabeth has been to Louisiana before, but this is the first time her family has come along, too. It was just wonderful to see them all and get to know them better. This house....which is usually pretty calm (except for our nightly romp with Sophie) is quiet, but this weekend it was full of life. I think it is what a home is suppose to be about so when their mini van pulled out of the driveway and we saw them going up the road all that energy vanished and walking back inside it felt more like a tomb than a home. I guess my parents know what I mean as they always tell me the house seems so terribly quiet when we leave PA to come back to LA. each summer. It is an empty, sad feeling for sure.

We all enjoyed eating at the new restaurant, RAW in Ruston. It is fun trying new tastes, although Elizabeth and her family were more familiar with much of the menu than we are. Josh and Randi like Ruston's new eatery very much.....one down side.....no changing table in the bathroom so little Frazier had visit the car for a few minutes and both Mom and Dad went along to assist.

Randi made a game...."Marble Sorry" and Josh taught the kids how to play....he also beat them! What sorta Uncle does that? hahaha.... The kids were fine with it and seemed to like playing.

During the Easter Egg hunt, Celinah spots an egg in the end of the clothes line pole. The egg hiders did a superb job!

Frazier had had enough of RAW so Aunt Elizabeth gave Randi a break so she could enjoy her meal.

Now that little "round boy" is Grammy's sweetie pie.
