Weekend With Paw Paw

Paw Paw came in town from Houston. That is my step-dad. The boys love seeing him. When he first came in he met us at Walmart (our local mall). Then we all visited Aaron at his restaurant for dinner. Tonight we went to our local Andouille Festival. The boys had a blast going on all the kiddie rides. We ate gumbo, nachos, and a cookie for dinner. The boys got light-up swords and each won a dolphin from a game. Isaiah was furious that he was stuck in the stroller most of the night, but he had fun riding the rides. He's the kind of kid that thinks it's funny to dart off knowing you are staring right at him telling him not to run. A cold front came through last night, so we went all bundled up in our jeans, sweaters, and hats. Now that my dad is gone, I realize how important it is to make memories with loved ones. My dad and I were both always so busy and would constantly say, like that Harry Chapin song "Cat in the Cradle," that we'd get together soon, but soon never came. We always stayed too busy to make memories and now of course I very much regret that. So needless to say, this was a great weekend. Thanks again Paw Paw!
