Our little fiddler

I've started taking a fiddle class on Thursday nights. Audrey thinks she might would like to play as well....

Uncle Brantley and Aunt Becki

We had a great time with Brantley & Becki this weekend (and we are very thankful that they were able to get a flight out of SD back into New Orleans before the storm hit)! On Saturday, we went to Shelter Island to play on the swings and then to the Children's Museum downtown. Audrey had a great time, though I think she would have had more fun if I had let her paint the purple VW bug at the Children's Museum ... her uncle was the one behind that mischief, of course!

Uncle Brantley and Audrey

Brantley and Becki are in town for a couple of days (a trip that will sadly be cut a bit short so that they can get home to get Tucker out of the Big Easy before Hurricane Gustav hits). Here are a couple of pix of Audrey having a good time at the park today ... we'll get some pictures of Avery tomorrow ...

Audrey and Avery

How's that for a title?? It's pretty much the subject of EVERY blog post. =)

Iain took Audrey to Balboa park this afternoon, and she fell asleep in the car on the way home. When she woke up, we put Avery in the crib with her. Here are those cute girls of ours!

Audrey walking backward

Audrey learned how to do this a few weeks ago, but it's nearly impossible to catch her on video without her needing to stop walking and come look at herself on the camera. =)

Video from the Parade of Sail

Here's video that I forgot to post with the picture from August 22.

Family outing

Iain got free passes to the Parade of Sail in San Diego (basically, a bunch of tall sailboats moored up at the Embarcadero and open for tours), so we all went down there for about an hour (well, more like an hour of walking to and from, and about 15 minutes actually on the ships). Anyway, both Audrey and Avery slept from the moment we left the parking lot, so it was really just some fresh air for all of us. Here's a pic of the 5 of us as we were leaving Iain's base.
