before the tubes . . . and after
so, finally I have some time to post a few things here for you. a few days before nicolas had surgery, we spent some really nice moments together:
I took him to his primary doctor for a follow-up visit about his ear infection:
then we rode over to his gymnastics class. this is how he likes to roll:
I took him to the doctor and gymnastics class that day so Mary could work on a tv commercial with some Saints players and Coach Payton (and Jon Gruden) for Madden 2010. She said it was fun, but then again, she didn't get to witness this in person either:
that weekend we did some gardening:
karaoke / rock and roll practice:
actually it was more like mardi gras indian practice - remember "handa wanda" from previous posts?
and we even had some time for a little plate walking:
then he had his surgery:
and now seems to be doing great. we spent a beautiful Friday evening on the bayou last weekend at Bayou Boogaloo:
he loved dancing to an amazing B3 Summit set which featured John Gros, Joe Krown and Rich Vogel each on their own Hammond B3 just ripping it for everyone.
Mary even took him back on Saturday afternoon where he got to see Bo Dollis Jr and the Wild Magnolia Mardi Gras Indians once more, and now a new favorite of his (but a New Orleans legend that's been around for decades) Walter Wolfman Washington.
With the exception of a few days, the weather has been unbelievably mild here for May, with nice breezes and low humidity, so we've really been able to enjoy being outside at amazing festivals like this one. I know I'm biased, and I've said this before, but New Orleans is a magical place and I'm so glad we're able to expose Nicolas to the music and culture and food and people here - you can't get this anywhere else.
