Louisiana

Adam and I had a wonderful trip in March visiting our family in Louisiana.  We started our visit with a trip to see his Memaw, who was recovering from surgery in Monroe, LA.  She was such a trooper--we were so impressed with her positive attitude as she continued to heal and prepared to move to a rehab facility.  Then we headed over with Lynn (Adam's mom) to see his other grandmother in Winnfield.  We were also able to catch up with our cousins Rachel and Jason, and their precious daughter, Kate, as well as Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Helene.  I grew up in Louisiana, a different part, but still Louisiana, and I love going back.  It stirs up so many memories in me, and I always manage to get my hands on some amazing fried catfish!  We enjoyed walking around Grandmother's beautiful yard (her flowers are incredible!), playing with Kate on her swing set, eating Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Helene's amazing cooking and catching up with everyone.  We stopped by Nacitoches on our way back home...it is a sweet small town that has wonderful shops and fun places to eat.  There are always flowers in bloom and sometimes a live band playing on the street.  I always feel like I am in a classic American town when I am there--or like I'm on the set of Gilmore Girls.  Anyways, its claim to fame is that it is where the movie Steel Magnolias was filmed.  And I really saw a salon named Curl Up and Dye on our way back to Houston.  No joke.  Ok, enough talking, on with the pics...:)
