Marshall
Two years ago, after the most severe labor pains I ever experienced, I held a new baby. The pains were quickly a thing of the past. We named him Marshall, and he's been such a sweetheart since that day. He's our little "ham" and makes me laugh all the time. He has no fear, which results in a lot of climbing and jumping. He's also ALL boy, and that lends itself to the incredible amount of noise he's able to make at any given moment. I enjoy every second he looks at me, every hug he gives, and every kiss he blows me. Happy Birthday Marshall! I love you.

Trip to New Orleans
We're HOME! What a fun weekend in New Orleans!
I posted some pictures from my phone while we were there, but I'm afraid you'll have to wait a bit longer for the photos from my camera. (Technical issues...)
We toured the World War II museum on Friday, which Josh fully appreciated. We walked around a bit and went in the Riverwalk shopping center, where I got my very first candy apple. In a word, "YUM!" For supper, we went to Bywater Bar-B-Que. I had originally picked another BBQ place, but the look of it from the outside turned both of us off, so we found another not far away. We missed lunch, so Josh had a bit of a headache, which turned into him getting sick during dinner. So, basically, I ate at the restaurant and we took his back to the bed and breakfast with us to eat later. He was fine in an hour or so and did enjoy the ribs he ordered. :) That was great place to eat and the guy who served us was super nice.
Saturday we went down and parked and walked AAAAAAAALL day! We went to the Conti Wax Museum, which showcased Louisiana history. We toured the Pharmacy museum, which was neat because they had cases FULL of old remedies and medicines that were used in different time periods. They had a section upstairs made into a "sick room", which showcased what doctors used in labor and delivery. Needless to say, I'm thankful to have things as they are now. Things are far more comfortable than what I saw in that room.
We toured the Old US Mint as well. We were only able to see the first floor because the second and third are being remodeled. Apparently, they are putting a jazz club upstairs. :)
We looked through some shops up and down various streets, heard lots of great music being played in Jackson square and the French Market and even saw some swing dancers.
We ate dinner at Copeland's Cheesecake Bistro. VERY nice place! The waiter even gave us our cheesecake on the house because it was our first time there.
Overall, I'd say Saturday was my favorite day. :)
Sunday, we drove around one last time before we left and made our way towards home. We made a stop at one of the big outlet malls in Gulfport, where I managed to find a few things I was in need of. We saw a movie and ate and then off we went home.
I had a ton of fun, but I thoroughly enjoyed sleeping in my own bed again. :)
