Lauren Runs!

Today Lauren ran at a race in New Orleans and won in the Grand Masters Category. Later, we shot video for the Turkey Song. Hope to debut it later this week.

Voice Of The Wetlands

This weekend the Voice of the Wetlands Festival took place at the Southdown Plantation here in Houma. The event, created by Houma musician Tab Benoit, is meant to raise money to help save our wetlands here in south Louisiana before it is too late.
Lauren ran in the 10K race, and won! She had to sprint the last 100 meteres or so to hold off a competitor. She won by 2 seconds!
My old friend Susan Cowsill was one of the performers, and it has been several years since I had seen her. She put on a great show, and was joined by her brothers to play some Cowsills hits from the past. Luckily, I was able to spend a few minutes backstage with them.

Pics--me and Susan with Tab in the background, me and Bernadette with Cowsill brothers, Lauren with other top 10K runners and Tab.

Happy Fun

Okay, so maybe I'm not back in the blogging sense. Time seems to be something I have very little of, and I haven't been able to make blogging part of the routine.
Anyway, we finished recording the Happy Fun kids CD, and are awaiting the duplications to arrive from New Jersey. The pic is the album cover.

I'm Back

It's been an interesting year. I started a new job on Mardi Gras day and I must tell you it takes up quite a bit of time. I've been using facebook and recently began to twitter because of the ability to communicate in a sentence or two and stay connected. Blogging takes a little more effort than I've wanted to give, but I miss it, so here I am again.
The big news is that I've been in the recording studio working on a children's album. We are almost finished, and it should be released nationally within the next few months.
We made a trip back to Collinsville a few weeks ago and it was mucho fun.
Lauren is racing again, and winning. The kids are doing great, and start school again on Monday.
I'll try to do some blogs about some of the highlights of the last few months in my next several posts.

Where Have I Been?

I haven't blogged much lately. Need to do something about that. Just been busy I guess.....

Abraham's Baptism

Sunday we celebrated Abraham's baptism. Our friend Father Jerry Villarubia, was the celebrant. Lauren's Aunt Jeanne and Uncle Steve were the godparent's. Abraham was fairly calm throughout. Afterword, we hosted a small reception at the house. It was a good time.
