It has been a week of visitors. We managed to have someone over for a meal every day last week. After Taylor’s wedding, my mom and brother came over, so they were here Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. (Their visit also included a shopping trip to the French Quarter and a trip to the Aquarium.) On Wednesday Craig’s brother and his girlfriend came for dinner and so that Craig could help Sean with calculus. Thursday’s dinner included some of the usual suspects, Theresa and Paige. (Eric Parrie – I am calling you out publicly for standing us up!) Friday Fr. R.B. spent the night. Which I guess means I could count Saturday breakfast, too, but then Theresa brought a little girl she was babysitting over to play and have lunch. Seven days in a row!
