Bit of a cheat for this day, since I obviously didn’t take the picture. I actually let the boys use my fancy DSLR and this was one of the only photos in focus. I had my first SLR at about age 10, so I don’t think it’s too too early for them to start honing their skills.

Oh, and for the record, we were at a fundraiser for our neighborhood, and my head was in a gingerbread man photo prop thingy.

Had dinner with my friend Tara at Emeril’s Delmonico. Since it was her first time in New Orleans, we had to get the Bananas Foster. I mean, I had to make sure she got the full New Orleans experience. On a related note, she now understands why people gain weight when they come visit.

I was a Biggest Loser fan for a long time, but I stopped watching at some point because two hour episodes was just too much. But when I was given the chance to go see Jillian Michaels the other night, I had to go. It was a surprisingly good talk, if a bit long, and she may have finally convinced me to start buying organic dairy and meat.

Now maybe I’ll take the wrapper off the 30 Day Shred DVD I bought so many years ago.

Nah.

Took the boys to a Hornets Pelicans game. Oliver wasn’t into taking pictures, though.

I thought we were good luck charms, since they won the last game we went to, but alas…not this time.

Beignets are yum. Trust me on this.

Best way to start the day is with a little dose of Ann Frances (or as the boys call her, Aunt Frances.) Now that she’s two, she’s super chatty and I had a pretty extensive conversation with her the other day. Love this girl!

Had some friends in town this weekend, and Thursday’s dinner was the first of many delicious meals. While this pate at SoBou was incredibly delicious, it was eclipsed by the sweet potato beignets I had for my main course.

Holy cow. You must go there and you must eat them. The end.

Homework time!

Apologies in advance for the flood of pictures you’re about to see. I have some catching up to do…

It’s unimaginable that they used to fit in these. Gah!
