New Orleans 2012

Hello from New Orleans!  Team Bray has been temporarily fractured.  Mark and Julia returned safely to Fredericton yesterday while Luka and I joined Meghan and my mom for a journey south to New Orleans. 

We had gorgeous weather today and I even busted out the flip flops.  Luka had a great time discovering grass as a crawler.  Here we are in Jackson Square:

 Our sweet boy finally surrendered to the Sand Man.
