January 26 to February 1, 2010

Dear Friends,

Three weeks into 2010 and our new home is buzzing with the arrival of crawfish season, festivals and the departure of cold weather. With the Saints headed to the Super Bowl, it's as if Mardi Gras is already here. Last week we enjoyed dinner at Upperline, watched a film, and indulged in our first Second Line. This week, in addition to everything else, we're looking forward to our first Krewe de Vieux, except for Sloane, since she'll be in Davos evangelizing the beauty and opportunity within New Orleans.

Excited for the festivities to come,
Carl, Taylor and Sloane
