We are Home in NOLA

We arrived back in New Orleans on Saturday. Scott touched down at the airport just three minutes before us so we were all able to meet up there and share a taxi home. Is was good to be home everything was pretty much the way we left it except for the house behind ours which was not there at all anymore. That house had been badly burned before we bought our house and they finally tore it down while we were gone. We are hoping to go into a deal with a few neighbors and buy the empty lot to give both of the neighbors a yard and to add on to ours. We will see how that goes. Right now we are going to work on putting a fence up since the old house was part of our fence. Yesterday Scott and I went to the Roller Derby while Chance stayed with a babysitter. He was really good and hardly cried at all when we left (or so I am told). Today we mostly hung out at the house. We had a picnic outside though. Scott and Chance and I sat out on the blanket eating and playing for over an hour. Chance also stood up many times today. While we were outside he stood up over and over. He knew that each time we would praise him and clap so he just kept standing up and waiting for us to clap. We started waiting longer each time to clap and he just kept standing longer waiting for us. He has pretty good balance and once today it looked like he was going to take a step but then thought better of it and sat down to crawl. We didn't do any St. Patrick's Day festivities But we all wore a little green. That first picture is so funny because he has his little front teeth sticking out. The second picture is his new smiley face for the camera and the third picture is Chance hanging out with his Aunt Kristy, wearing her hat.
