O.k., o.k., I know it has been way too long since I've last posted, but every time I've tried I have had problems getting our pictures to upload. So finally here's an update! A couple of months ago we made a day-trip to New Orleans to celebrate our friend, Rio's, birthday. We had a full day planned, but had plenty of time to goof off before the festivities started! It was a fun day!
We had some time to enjoy the beautiful sunshine along the Mississippi River.
The rest of our crew: Becky, Rio and Eric.
We decided to take in an IMAX in 3-D. We saw one about the ocean, which if you know me at all, is right up my alley!!
We stopped for lunch at the House Of Blues...no music but excellent food!
Our next stop was the new Insectarium that just opened in New Orleans. It is basically a zoo that houses only bugs (living and dead). I wouldn't have thought that a place about bugs could take up a lot of time, but it is definitely a whole day thing! There were many rooms that were each dedicated to something different.
One room in the Insectarium was about Louisiana habitats...not sure it belongs with bugs, but at least he was cute (while he's small!!)
One of the rooms had all of these dead bugs in it, which should be gross but it was actually really beautiful. This dragon is actually made of different beetles--it's amazing all of the varieties of animals that Heavenly Father made.
On of the last stops we made in the Insectarium was the butterfly house (it's a lot like the one at the Pacific Science Center for you West Coast peeps). I always love all of the beautiful flowers they have in those rooms!
We had kind of a hard time getting any good shots of the moths and butterflies since they were being a little camera shy, but here's one of the many that were flying around!
The gift shop was the last stop at the Insectarium...Tristan was being silly, as usual. I'm sure glad that I married someone who makes me laugh! He doesn't have any monkeys on his back, but he does have one big spider!!
An updated pregnancy pic for the moms! This was taken at about 24 weeks, I think, so I've grown more since then...I'll have to post an updated one soon. I took my glucose test last week and haven't heard anything back, so I'm assuming no news is good news! I can't believe that I'm starting my third trimester. Time sure does fly and we can't wait to meet our little boy!
We've also made a lot of progress on our nursery and preparing for our little one's arrival. As soon as the room is in good shape I'll post some pics!
