Biloxi with the folks

 When my parents first got here, we had three days of major rain and thunderstorms. It was non stop and I was so worried that it was going to rain the entire time they were here. Luckily, after the three days the sun finally decided to come out! We went out to Shaggy's on the water. I love the atmosphere of this restaurant. It has such a great beachy feel.

 And the view is great too!!

We went and walked on the beach after.

 We went to go walk on the Ocean Springs bridge but saw a pier and decided to walk down that instead. The sunset was gorgeous!

Jack learned all about catching catfish from the locals.





 We climbed up the Biloxi lighthouse. It was extremely hot, but still enjoyable. It was a much better view than the first time we went up. Lots of blue skies. It was really fun to show my parents where we have been living this past year. You always talk about stuff over the phone, but it means so much more when you can show them. Plus my parents just got home from their mission in New York City and we haven't been able to visit them for over a year. The kids warmed right up to them (especially since my mom came off the plane with two bags of Skittles for the boys), and we had a great time.

Lovin' all your updates! Your cute little family is adorable. Seriously, I think I could steal Anderson just to stare at him all day... such a handsome little bugger. Jack looks SO grown up in these pictures! He's such a cutie. I wish we could have come to visit you in Mississippi :( Maybe we'll just have to come to Japan!

Cross our fingers.....
