THE BUDDY FRUIT PHENOMENON

I still can not describe to you the frenzy that the Trioux go into when you just mention those two words together. You can say buddy all you want and get nothing. You can say fruit all you want, and sometime you may get an odd look, but say "Buddy Fruit" and they go completely bananas! No pun intended! They head straight to their chairs and start trying to climb up the rungs.

MASTERS WEEK


For the start of Masters Week, Nana thought she would give a quick lesson before bed time for the Trioux.

Jerry's Cajun Cafe


Just in case you guys out there have not been able to tell, I am not Cajun by birth, only because I was not born in Cajun country, but it runs very deep in my blood and in my taste buds! While growing up in Pensacola for most of my life, a Cajun restaurant opened up while I was in middle school in a tiny strip mall around the corner from my house that we quickly discovered had the most authentic Cajun food we ever had since our visits back to my dads home town. Jerry is a native of Baton Rouge and has the absolute best Cajun food this side of the Mississippi River! Any time we are back in Pensacola, we have to eat there. In fact, the day the Trioux was born, the grandparents and I ate there for dinner.


Naturally, while there for the reunion, we took the Trioux there for dinner. They had their first taste of true Cajun food and couldn't get enough! Enjoy!

NICU REUNION


These two updates are the ones that have held me up so much. We took so many pictures and had so much fun that it was very tough for me to try and narrow it down to a few to post on here.


We decided a long time ago that we would not miss the NICU reunion if we had the chance to make it. It worked out pretty well for us to go this year, so we loaded the Trioux and The Nana up and headed to Pensacola for a weekend getaway. We had such a great time seeing all the nurses and doctors that made all of this possible. There were so many memories that came flooding back when we pulled up to the hospital. As many of you know, Crystal spent three LONG months at that hospital sixty miles away from home and the Trioux spent almost three weeks there as well. It made for a very long summer, but well worth it in the long run.


The Trioux seemed to have a good time running around and getting into everything. Here are a few of the MANY pictures from our fun day at the hospital.

TRAVEL DAY

These are the only two pictures that I have from Friday. We were very late leaving for Pensacola, but actually worked out pretty well, because the Trioux was able to sleep most of the way. I have SO MANY pictures to go thru from the weekend, that it may be tomorrow until I get them posted. We had such a great time and I think the kids really enjoyed getting out as well!

90 DAYS!!!

I can not believe that I have actually been able to maintain this 365 project for this long. I am actually quite proud of myself. Hopefully I have not bored you guys too much and you are actually enjoying my posts. Please let me know if there is something in particular that you would like to see or blog topic you would like me to discuss. I really would like some input on this project, good or bad!

Here is one that I have not done in a while, Bath Time. Enjoy and have a good weekend. We will be headed to the Trioux's NICU reunion this weekend so I will have plenty of pictures!
