Jazz Fest 2010!

Yesterday we made our first trip to Jazz Fest. The rain held off, and the sun actually came out as My Morning Jacket began their set with the Preservation Hall Jazz Band. It was awesome! We also made some new friends from Maryland that come down every year for the 2 week-long festival. They let Katherine sit in one of their chairs and gave her water.

Jim James of MMJ rockin' out!

The Gentilly Stage

We came prepared with mud boots. It poured the day before and we were in a mud pit!

Brad went for provisions - crawfish bread, duck po-boy, crab cakes and beer (water for me!)

Baby Names!

My dear friend Kelly paints the most precious name signs. The alphabet was created by her mom nearly 30 years ago and now Kelly creates the beautiful signs. About 2 months before the baby shower, Kelly asked if I wanted a sign. Absolutely!!! She offered to paint one as my shower gift if we had a name ready. Did we have a name?

While we were sitting in the doctor's office after the sonogram I blurted out a name to Brad. We had just found that we were having a boy and the name just popped into my head. We waffled for weeks and weeks, but never actually came up with any other options that we liked. Kelly called about the name sign 2 weeks before the shower. No pressure, but have you decided on the name? It was time to commit!
