Jason and I went to New Orleans and Baton Rouge for the weekend for Keith Fogle's Wedding. Maddy stayed home with her grandparents all weekend. My parents had her until Sunday and then Jason's parents watched her during the day yesterday and then picked us up at the airport. This was my first time away from her and man was it difficult. I missed her sooooo much! I knew she was in good hands and loving her time with grandma and grandpa so that really helped. She got spoiled too, of course. Grandpa Jack taught her how to shake her head 'no'. It is so adorable although I'm sure it will not be so cute in the future. She seems to know what the word means too, so that helps with communication and discipline. She was so much fun to come home to last night. She was all smiles and full of life. I wanted to let her sleep with us so that I could snuggle with her all night, but Jason didn't allow it. (What a grump!) We brought some mardi gras beads home for our sweetie.
The wedding was a lot of fun...really great to see a lot of college friends, especially Keith (the groom). The weather was absolutely beautiful, so Jason and I played some cribbage by the pool on Saturday. We had some time to drive around New Orleans and look at damaged areas from Hurricane Katrina. It was extremely humbling to see. Much of the area, especially the city and neighborhoods on the east side of Lake Ponchatrain have been abandoned and left in ruins. It is truly a tragedy.
I still haven't posted anything from our trip to Hawaii because I am waiting on some pictures. I will let you know when the blogs are up. Check out Kendal's webpage though, because Mike and Marnie posted some video of Maddy walking and of the girls playing.
