This morning we decided to take a trip to the Quarter with our 7 week old, Violet. After all, I did promise her a beignet. The girls loved talking to people about their adorable beignet eating piggy. 
I guess you could say it’s becoming a tradition for my best friend and I to head to the aquarium with our kiddos when we visit home. Today we also included lunch and shopping at the riverwalk. It’s always an adventure when we get together!
Meet Mardi, the newest addition to our family. Because only we could travel 600 miles away with a baby pig and go home with an extra pup. She is a very sweet 11 year old little lady. Gigi has been fostering her since her home burned down and her family was unable to keep her. Our family fell in love with her since we’ve been here and decided to take our little schnoodle (mini schnauzer poodle mix) back to Texas. We name her Mardi because we wanted her to have a New Orleans themed name and since we will be going home on a Tuesday it seems like the perfect name for her.
Over a decade of loving the fella who enjoys my madness and vice versa. How blessed am I? 
Today we traveled 600 miles with 3 little lovelies, a six week old piggy, and grabbed Gigi along the way. It only took us 12 hours due to weather and traffic, but the girls and Violet traveled so well considering the circumstances. Now for a couple weeks of fun in my hometown!
Awake since 6:30am, worth it! (Aunt Mad-8 & Dom-3)
Spent the morning with our grandbabies and little ladies at the park before we won’t see them for a few weeks. Gonna miss those little faces!
I am loving how well these two babies are getting along. Najah is 16 years old now, but he’s always been the most gentle boy with kids and other pets. And our little 5 week old Violet is very curious when he is by her.
