Time with Lagersens

(warning-I'm a little behind on blogging and trying to catch up... sorry if this is scatter-brained)

We got to spend Labor Day weekend with this fine fellow:

My sister, Sarah, and Liam stopped in for a couple of days before heading down to Austin.

Since we no longer have a guest room we just throw down a mattress on Margaret's floor.

The cousins played on it all weekend.... I highly recommend it.

While Sarah was here, she taught me how to play Yahtzee, babysat for us, and we headed over to the zoo.

It was great having my sister and her dear son around!

Then the Thursday after Labor Day, I headed over to Shreveport with the kiddos.

(Tom headed to Austin for his brother's bachelor weekend)

We stopped off at my mom's school.

She wanted to show her grandkids around.

Too bad Henry went wacko on us.

Margaret was happy to show off, though.

We then joined my grandmother for lunch.

(My grandmother was trying to get Henry in the picture. Wacko, again)


And we did a lot of hanging around my parent's house.

Henry became obsessed with this coo coo Singing Babies video ... I'm telling you, it's weird.

Sarah Grace and Elizabeth (with Emma- due end of October) got sucked into watching it, too.

Lovin' on Papa

Saturday, I went shopping and we did a little more of hanging around the house.

Papa and Henry checked out the ducks

The southern humidity went to town on Margaret's curls.

Uncle Chris did a good job explaining LSU football to Henry.

Margaret says "Go Tigers!'

Sarah and Liam got back in town from their vacation and poor little Liam was pooped.

Had to throw in a picture of Henry's partner in crime, "Maddie Moo".

One of the best things about this trip was that my brother, Josh, drove in from Nashville for a surprise visit. Unfortunately, I have no pics of him and the kids. Bummer. Henry thinks Josh is really cool because he drives a motorcycle and plays the guitar. It was good to see him.

I did get a picture of my childhood home.

I have so many wonderful memories of time spent with my family there.

Sunday, we dragged back home to Texas.
