Our front porch is getting a facelift this month. We discovered dry rot this spring when I fell through. Oops! The original builders had constructed it out of flimsy wood siding instead of 5/4 deck material. Sheesh. Anyway, shout out to Henry Poor Lumber for great service and materials!

After Pictures coming soon……..

I guess I should warn my blog readers, this week is a little crazy with school ending and I have an 8th grader graduating. There will probably more personal posts on the blog than ever before! LOL

A great big thanks to Stuart & Branigan & Coach Dr. Thomas for a great soccer season. We’ve been playing on Dr. Thomas’ team since Austin was a little guy. Now that we’re heading into high school this is probably the last year, but what a great year! We love you Dr. T!

Lafayette Christian has always been a part of my family. My grandparents and their siblings were some of the founding members in 1950. It is so awesome that right now we (LCS) are able to expand to provide greater education and accomodate more students.

Today we celebrated another generous gift from our community from the Mike Raisor Autogroup. Thank you so much for your generosity!

Principal, Abe Vreeke, 8th grade Valedictorian, Austin Ashcraft and Gabrielle Hibler

Congratulations to both LCS & St. James! Everyone worked so hard this year to have a great program and the friendships we’ve made are awesome. I do have to congratulate LCS on being the overall winner this year for the first time in 4 years? (I might be wrong)

I am a little disappointed in myself because I did not take nearly the photographs that I wanted to take while I was there. (guess I’ll have to go back LOL). I took a few, but really was just taking it all in sans camera this time.

We had fun with this guy. He was everywhere I’m not sure what his story is.

Rick, the man! A photog friend that was nice enough to take us around on a tour outside the French Quarter. Thanks!
