Helping with the food pantry

This afternoon our family headed down to the church to help out with the food pantry. Every Saturday different families rotate helping distribute food to people in need. It is such a blessing to be part of a church family that does all it can to help people. It is good for our children to also be involved and experience the joy of helping others. I've included a picture of Carter helping Aaron take food to people's vehicles. Carter loves pushing the "buggy". ( I know it's really a cart but down here they're called buggies. Lol!)

Our tenth anniversary

This past Friday was our tenth wedding anniversary. We decided to get away for the weekend to celebrate. The Arrington's, some friends of ours from church, were kind enough to watch the kids for us and I think the kids had as much fun as we did.
Aaron and I decided to go to Natchitoches, Louisiana. We stayed at a bed and breakfast, a new experience for us, in Robeline. It was an old plantation house that had been moved in the 1870's to be a hotel by the railroad. We ended up having the whole place to ourselves and it was nice to get away. I've included some pictures of Natchitoches and of the kids.

They were having a Jazz festival the weekend we were there. :(
 So were weren't able to go down by the river without paying.
This is all the tents and booths and stuff they had set up down there.
The pontoon offers tours of the river.

Believe it or not that big yellow building is a bank.
