A visit from Natalie

My parents were due to leave on their Alaskan cruise exactly one week after the hurricane. Luckily the airport began running the night before they left so they were able to catch their flight and go. With that, Natalie got to come stay with us for about 17 days while they were gone. We tried to make the best of the time we had. The kids enjoy talking with her and playing Uno. 

Labor day weekend after cleaning out houses we went as girls to see the movie Leap. It was about a cute red headed ballerina with big dreams. We enjoyed it. 

We also hung out with cousins and Chira was a saint and took the older 3 kids for a couple days to play since everyone was so tired of being homebound from the flood.

Natalie and I went with some friends and took Deacon to the zoo. 

 He's always gotta be cool with glasses on!

Zoo selfie. It was such a beautiful day outside. The weather was perfect. I sure wish it was here to stay, but it's already disgusting again.

Then on September 14, 2017 at 8:32 CAI JOSEPH SPEERS was born at 7 pounds 15 ozs. Natalie, Deacon, and I went for a short visit to the hospital to take a peak at the cute baby!

I am glad to add Cai to our extended family, and for the time I got to spend with Natalie. She is a special sister who we love having around.
