Last week, I headed down I Baton Rouge to help my friend Lynne, from the Netherlands who moved there. I took Andrew, and Curtis and Johnny stayed at Megan and Kyle's house for two days with Granny in town watching them!
Then Erik and the boys packed up and went to Grand
Marais, MN for a four day weekend! Here they are at Gooseberry Falls!

Lynne moved the the USA from Holland in July. She just got in her house a week ago Friday, and the shipment of her goods from Holland got there that day too. She was also due to have a baby, and her oldest would be starting kindergarten all in one week! So, Andrew and I flew in to lend a few helping hands. Lynne had Baby Ryan on Saturday, August 15
th! He weighed 8lbs 11oz. It was the first time she's EVER had an epidural, as they don't use pain
meds much overseas. The quote of the day was, "Katie, why would anyone NOT use an Epidural?" Remember, she has NO friends or family anywhere near her...so please keep her in your prayers if you are the praying type.

Emma, and
Callum going to see Ryan for the first time!

Emma headed off on her first day of school! What an emotional week for Lynne!

Andrew enjoyed his visit to Cajun Alley looking for Alligator heads to bring back for his brothers!

Getting in a little baby time! And NO, it did NOT give me ANY sort of itch!

Who doesn't love a naked baby?

Lynne the night before the baby came!
We had a busy week with hanging pics, getting the house unpacked, shopping for curtains, getting cell phones, freezing meals, watching her kids, etc. I'll miss her, and hope she has a good USA experience!
