My 2010 Prius is MUCH smarter than the Smart Car.

And at 49 miles to the gallon, 25$ to fill up and a solar panel that cools the car when parked. Way greener, too. :)

Katrina remembrance.

We marked the 4th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina with a visit to Lake Lawn Cemetery's flags installation. Each one marked a life lost.

We also made 100 PB&J's for the Desmond Project, which feeds the homeless every Saturday night.


Lusher 5th grade/Kindergarten buddies.

Mathilda and buddy, Hillary MacFarland.

On the way to Jonas Brothers Concert!

Emily Celano, Bella Florence and Mathilda Jane.

Excitement.

Silliness.
