New Orleans

We went to New Orleans this past weekend to see our little infant niece who is at the Childrens Hospital. Out of respect for privacy I will not post any pictures of the baby.


I will say this, in Shreveport on December 3rd baby Avery Anna was born at 31 weeks with major heart concerns. She was 2lbs 11oz and 14 inches. She is a precious little angel and though she is sick, she is a fighter! 

I have thought about not putting this on my blog for some time but, I feel that the more positive thoughts and prayers for this sweet baby the better. I would ask that you please think of her and the family at this difficult time in their lives. This is not easy on anyone mentally or financially.
The family is staying at the Ronald McDonald house until she can go home. The house is a beautiful New Orleans home with wonderful amenities. We exchanged gifts there. What a Christmas to remember!

Hi Mimi


Just swinging! The weather was incredible.


I wish you a safe and happy holiday season. Please do not take anything for granted. Now go out and start hugging your loved ones!
Merry Christmas!
