A Labor Day Weekend of Love

So as most of you already know, since Drew and I were running around on cloud 9, Andrew was home this past weekend!  Drew flew to Nashville Thursday and escorted our most precious cargo back to the Bayou for the holiday weekend.

Thursday night we went to the last preseason Saints game and guess who they played the Titans!  Bud's two favorite teams, he couldn't lose.  Of course the Saints did, but they did so without a single starter stepping onto the field. I can't wait to see some Brees action this Thursday against the Packers!
Who dat?!


Friday we woke up to a rainy day, so we asked Andrew what he wanted to do.  He had quite the list:  Go to Cole's, Go to Brady's, play Donkey Kong with his Daddy, and if we had time some arts and crafts.  Cole and Brady were of course in school, so we started with Donkey Kong.  Then made a trip to the store for some arts and crafts supplies...which is also where we found:

Poppy and Willie met us for lunch at our house where the Angry Birds building, launching, and destroying commenced!


Willie made a pretty good Angry Bird!

Tropical Storm Lee wasn't going to rain on our parade:  Arts and Crafts!

 Most of our ideas were inspirations from Pinterest.com (my latest obsession!)

 He's pretty meticulous...wonder where he get's that from?

Maybe this guy?!

 Daddy Day-O working on his own artwork.

 Daddy and Do-Da made this for him :)


 Finished projects! :)

 Nobody likes an overachiever, Drew! ;)
(Except me and Bud, we love you soooo very much!)

Saturday morning while I was brushing my teeth I heard this terrible noise, like some sort of bird was dying a terrible death...nope it was Andrew on his duck call...he was calling in some Oregon Ducks for Tiger Bait!! 

 Love that kid so much!  

 While we were at the store we started talking about birthdays and Andrew wanted to know if he would be here for his Daddy's birthday.  Sadly, I told him he would not.  "Well then I want to sing Happy Birthday to my Daddy before I gotta go back to TN."  So of course we did just that.  Drew teared up, his son loves him so much. :)

 I can't believe he's 30!  From time to time we relive the first day we met, he had just turned 20!

 Our handsome little Day.

 Here we Geaux Tigers!

 Here we Geaux!
(Thanks for the cupcakes Aunt Erin!)

 Halftime snack and dress up time! 

Sunday we had a house full of family and friends!  Willie, Poppy, Aunt Erin, Mimi, Aunt Syd, Uncle Bryan, Carrie Addis, Denny, Sandy, and Brady all came by to spend some time with Andrew.  Yes, he is loved by so so many!


 Andrew practicing his big brother skills


 Sweet, sweet Carrie!  She's crawling, pulling up, and trying so hard to stand!


And finally, I have saved the best for last!  My two favorite Angry Birds making their very best Angry Bird faces.  I absolutely love this picture!  Andrew nailed his look.  His Daddy, I think may be making more of a green pig face??


Despite being on call for work, a tropical storm, and our camp taking on water it was the perfect weekend.  We enjoy our time together so much, every moment is precious and we make the most of each one.
