A Few Pictures From Our Trip to New Orleans
I’m having a hard time getting back into a routine and catching up after our trip. We are unpacked and the laundry has been done but there’s still so much more to do. Traveling is great but re-entry sucks. So, because I should be vacuuming up two week’s worth of dog hair I made you…
