Charlotte Clare Landry
We are so proud to welcome Charlotte Clare Landry to our family! She was born at 5:55 pm on Saturday, July 24. She weighs 7 lbs., 2 oz. and is 19 inches in length. Alisha completed the entire labor and delivery without any medication! It was very tough but her recovery has been amazing. One of the best things about bringing Charlotte home is seeing how much Joan loves having her little sister! You'll see what I'm talking about in the photos and videos below. We couldn't have done this without the love and support of our parents, who were able to be present at Charlotte's delivery. More pictures and stories coming soon!

Summertime
This post is a little late, but we wanted to share photos of our vacation to Pensacola and to the Birmingham zoo. We had a great time in FL. We stayed in a 3 bedroom condo with another family from our college days, The St. Cyr's. It was so much fun and Joan loved the beach - I think it was her first time. We didn't get many photos at the zoo, but the ones we have are from the butterfly garden. Also in the photos are snapshots from Memorial Day and Joan's 2 year old portraits. Jude took the photos himself, edited them, and printed them out on high quality photo paper - they came out looking so professional. (The one's included in this slideshow aren't edited, though).
Also going on in May was Joan's transition into a big girl bed. We moved her into a new room with a twin bed and box spring on the floor and things went better than I could have imagined! She has trouble falling asleep for nap sometimes, but other than that, things were so easy. We'll have pictures of her new room soon - a few pieces of art need to go up and then we'll be ready. We also decided to start using cloth diapers. She's been completely in cloth for almost a week now and so far so good. I'm starting to get a nice little washing schedule down to every two days. It wasn't as scary as I thought it would be!
Our house in Bloomington finally has a renter, so Jude and I are officially landlords! I never imagined being a landlord, but we're just trusting that this was God's plan for our house and maybe in the near future we can put it back on the market and actually sell it for a profit. Either way, we're just so relieved to have some income coming from that house! Jude's summer school class is going well and Joan and I are trying to enjoy trips to the park as much as we can, despite my huge pregnant self and the extreme Mississippi heat. We're looking forward to meeting this new little baby girl... it's not that far away! Oh and one last thing. We're in the processes of creating a Landry Family Store online to sell some of Jude's designs so keep an eye out for that. We'll probably post a link from our sidebar that'll bring you to a new website where you can purchase some goodies. We'll let you know when that's up and running.

Happy Birthday Joan!
Get ready... this post has a lot of photos to view! It begins with Joan's 2nd birthday party. It's crazy to think she's already 2! After her party are some pictures from our Guilbeaux Family Weekend. Then you'll see a few photos of Joan playing at the Children's Discovery Museum in Lake Charles while we were visiting. After this are just some random shots of her around the house and on campus and finally we end with the Cotton District Arts Festival here in Starkville and Joan in her new cloth diapers! We've had some fun stuff going on the last 2 months.
In other news, the house in Bloomington was scheduled to close on May 14th but this has been pushed back - hopefully just another 10 days or so. But please keep us in your prayers and please ask the Lord to grace us with patience and understanding and a desire to see His will done. Thanks!
Here's a video of Joan loving her new diapers!

Happy Mother's Day!
Happy Mother's Day, Alisha! I wanted to create a drawing that would represent our new family as a gift for all the amazing things you do as a mother. Thank you for your endless love and patience with me, and for raising Joan to be such a beautiful girl. We love you and appreciate all that you do for us.

Jesus is Risen!
Easter is always such a great time of year and this season we went to New Iberia for great boiled crawfish, boiled crabs, barbeque, and quality family time. Joan really enjoyed hunting for eggs with all of her cousins and my Guilbeaux family met us in New Iberia for the Easter party. Jude's spring semester is winding down and he's getting ready for the screen printing class he'll be teaching during the summer. I've been feeling great - it's the best part of the pregnancy right now and the weather is awesome, so Joan and I go on daily walks and trips to the park. And the best news we've had recently is an offer on the house - that's right, we got an offer on the house! We just need the financing and inspections to go smoothly and hopefully we'll be closing in mid-May. Thank you for your continued prayers, keep them coming - we're not done yet...

The Landry's went to Disney World!
It's true - we just got back Saturday and we had such a great time. It was definitely a busy vacation, but one we'd never be able to take without the generosity of Jude's late grandmother, Claire, and the rest of the LaBauve family. We weren't able to go on the huge extended trip with all of the LaBauve's during Mardi Gras because Jude couldn't get off. So we went just by ourselves which had both its perks and disappointments. We missed out on all of the fun family time and extra help with Joan, but we were able to go at our pace and really spend this time together as a single family unit. We went to all four parks and did everything we said we wanted to do. Please enjoy these memories - we will!
