Sunday

Walter came home around 4pm from his "brothers weekend" in Mississippi. I sent my camera with him and like a good husband, he took some pictures!! They caught/cooked fish yesterday and checked their crab traps today and boiled crabs for lunch. Boiled crabs are one of my favorite things to eat and yes, you know he loves me, because he brought some home for me! Yay!! That will be my after dinner snack!



In the picture above, from left to right - Walter, Brien, Ed, Rickey, & Tommy.

I haven't done much today. I took Cameron & Bryce to Taco Bell for lunch today - their choice! It's amazing to me that they'll pass up some really good eating for Taco Bell! Tropical storm Fay is passing through our area for a visit. It's been raining since I got up this morning and I guess that is what I can expect for the whole day! I don't mind though. It is pretty relaxing to sit and listen to the rain, especially on the metal roof. I am cooking the cajun crawfish casserole AGAIN tonight, but using shrimp instead of crawfish. Walter will love this casserole and it came out SO good, so I decided to make it again and show off my great cooking skills, since he missed it Friday night!

After having so much fun with my post last night, I couldn't help but "yearbook" my sister and brother-in-law and email them the pictures! Did they think it was as funny as I did? Probably not, but I got a good chuckle out of it!!


Questions & Comments:

MBKimmy asked if JP was older than Elizabeth - no, I sometimes confuse people because I call JP my older son, but that is just to distinguish him from my younger son, Cameron. Elizabeth was born 2 years before JP. Also, she asked if Elizabeth has said she had a good life - yes. She is very different from her adoptive parents. They are very quiet, sort of non-social people and Elizabeth's personality is just like mine - outgoing, loud, center of attention kind of girl. They have been very good to her and she was raised in a happy, stable, loving home. I think meeting me and my family helped her to see "the other side" and it's a good fit for her. Here is a picture of both of our families during Christmas the year after we met.

That's all I've got for now! Have a good rest of your weekend!!

Looks like Walter had a great weekend with his brothers. I know they enjoyed bonding with each other. Enjoy those crabs he brought you! Yum!

That's funny the boys opted for Taco bell, but it's not too bad of a choice. That casserole sounds really good. I'm going to attempt to make it when I plan to have company coming sometime. Alot of times I substitute shrimp in those recipes.

Glad you had a quiet weekend. I like the rainy days sometimes too. We got a small shower yesterday from it, but that's it. Have a good rest of your evening.

I love crabs! I haven't had any but the king crab legs at the chinese place we eat regularly. Not the same as some good ol' cajun boiled crabs :D

You definitely are on my good list with the comment about Dr. Pepper you left me! Sadly, I drink diet these days, but it's all good.

Boiled crab sounds awesome! We lived in LA for awhile when I was a kid and I have some great memories of going crabbing.

Elizabeth looks allot like you! That's great that she is back in your life!
