Where are they?

Where is Neil?
Where is Matthew?
Where are the Taylors? (NYC right now, but still)

seriously, we have serious business to discuss.

I'm now a Blogger, Twittering is Next!

I figured it out! .......As most of you know, Steve had major back surgery 3 weeks ago, so that means STEINA had major back surgery .....This will be a very slow recovery which is giving be cabin fever, and affecting our zydeco dancing schedule...... So, I'm a caretaker these days .........For Now, we will be the old people discussing his doctor's appointements, his recuperation, etc.................. ...I've been cooking alot of neat things, and, with no dancing, I have slowly gained my weight back.....For you youngins, I have a new delicious easy recipe for you .....................and it's called "ginas pasta shish-ka-bob " ......After reading the earlier blogs, I have these questions?? ....Dale, why are you tiling Ashley's room, isn't it carpet? ......Patti, are you now like Gwen Stefani, are you doing the wild dancing? ....... Lizzie, don't hold your breath, do you really think Matthew is going to blog??...LOL ..... if it "ain't" about gaming, he ain't interested ...........!!!

Picture Fun!

What is this, another old person?

Hey Zandy, great idea!!
The only way I hear anything is when Neil reads facebook!
Of course Dale had to tell you about my tip, but what he didn't say was that I shared it with the rest of the band. and the guy was inebrieated!!

I am just working hard, and trying to survive the heat.

Hey, where are the rest of the old farts?

Patti

how does this darn thing work ?

i always wondered why anyone would bother reading somebody else's ramblings................what a waste of time !! but in this case, i see real value in the whole process......................this is a great idea, zandy.................and as a warning to all, i will probably be reading the posts to darling but i will probably not read some things - like my last statement............

things are going well at work................i am mostly focused on improving the physical plant so that i can sell my practice in the future ................i just completed the first phase of concreting the parking lot - and it is helping with the parking already.........very exciting stuff :-) ................i built a new food room ( 8 foot by 16 foot) last year behind the reception area and the staff seems to like it................my next project is another expansion off of an exam room.................

my veterinary band played in indianapolis in february and patti and i had a good time..............we had some issues with a singer so patti decided to take singing lessons so she could help out the band - mostly as a backup singer............she did so well that her teacher told her that she should be singing lead !!................so she did her first public gig with my local band at elmwood fitness center ( yes, we get free membership ) a few weeks ago and got a $100 tip !!!!!!!!!........she may blog about it later but she is being modest................

at home, i am starting to lay tile on the second floor - starting with ashley's room..................and i am slowly working on the back yard landscaping project..............

ashley forgot to mention that she and i are going to el salvador on a mission to build houses during thanksgiving week......................

I forgot to post this in the last blog..

Update from Ashley

Thanks Zandy for creating the blog, hopefully the oldies will learn how to post within the next year.

Updates with me:

After living in Hammond for a year, I moved back to Baton Rouge to pursue a career in Event Planning. I took a Wedding Planning class in the Spring, and have been working at Boudreaux's, a reception hall. The manager has been asking me to do all wedding related things, while the rest of the staff arranges the tables and things. I also start at Debbie's Bridal in Gonzales as the on staff Wedding Consultant in August. I have created a facebook business page, and in the process of creating the website (with Doug's help).

Going to the Smokey Mountains in the beginning of July with friends, going to Destin a few times with Andrew's family and once with Lizzie. Having my 25th birthday also in July, it is going to be strange!

Signing out!

It's Alex! ...uh..Alex Peyroux? Anyway...

Hey there family,

For those of you who have not been snooping around on facebook (Neil), here are a few updates.

• I will be participating in the Disney College Program this fall. I will be living and working in Florida from August 19th to January 10th. Please come and visit. Call me beforehand and I'll get you kids a hook up with some sweet deals...if I feel like it. I accept bribes of food and shiny coins.
• I am still attending Southeastern Louisiana University. I moved back home because I did not want to sign another lease for my apartment. Pros: free food, no bills, family closeness. Cons: I'm in college and I am living at home. Which brings me to...
• I am single.
• I am saving up for a Tokyo Study Abroad through the Langu-bridge program. I would be spending 3-4 weeks living with a foster Japanese family outside of Tokyo attending college courses in the city of Tokyo. I am very excited about that.
  
• My graduation date has now been changed from 2011 to "the Future" on my transcript. I am still planning on attending medical school just nobody knows when. I am looking to get into a Medical school in the country, but I have been researching two programs through Scotland and Queensland, Australia heavily. But that is pretty far into the future.

I think that brings yall up to speed. If I think of anything else, I'll be back.

I wanna give a shout out to Zandy for the good idea.

EDIT : Here is the link to my personal blog that I'll be updating while I'm out of town. I'll probably be posting a ton of pictures.

Zandy Rocks! (and an update)

Hey all! I just wanted to thank Zandy for starting this. I think it will help us all keep in touch more than one or two times a year....

I will start with the updates...

• I am still living in Audubon Trace. We pulled up the carpet downstairs and put down hardwood floors. It is still under construction. I will put pictures up when it is done.
  

• Dad had my sales award published in the Hammond Paper. He is planning on putting it in the New Orleans and Baton Rouge Papers. I have attached the image for you to see.

• I am running the Disney Half Marathon in January in Orlando if anyone wants to come and watch. Doug and I have been running a lot on St. Chuck and the levee. My longest run to date is 10 miles about 2 weeks ago. I might be running a half marathon in October in New Orleans, but I will let you know as it gets closer. (NOTE: Great job Zandy who has already ran a half marathon!)

• About a month ago, I donated 10 inches of hair to Locks of Love. I will put some pics up eventually.

• I think that is about it. Again, thanks Zandy for doing this. I am pumped to read Matthew's post. :) Also, Ashley and Alex need to send out an update. Here is a little teaser: we will be reading 2 posts starting in August. More later. Goodnight all!

xoxo Lizzie

Hello World Wide Web!

Well, it has come time that Peyroux family joins the rest of the technology world and starts blogging. I realized a long time ago that I have no idea what my own brother is doing these days, let alone what the rest of my cousins, aunts and uncles have been up to. Shoooo, last I heard Laura graduated from Kindergarden! So, here at "The Peyroux Family Chronicles" feel free to update this blog with past memories, current events, health status, love status (I'm still single of course), pictures, pet tricks, hobbies, or anything at all that you would like to share with this, ummm, unique family. Happy blogging!
