As they navigate adoption red tape, the family of five has been happily settled in New Orleans since January, where Pitt, 43, has been filming the romance
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Locals frequently spot them strolling through the French Quarter, buying baby clothes (a "Dirty South" T-shirt for Maddox, a black dress for Zahara and a hot-pink onesie for Shiloh) and dining out with
Button costar Cate Blanchett.
Soon they'll return home to L.A., where Pitt will resume filming. Jolie, meanwhile, continues to speak out about the atrocities in Darfur as she eagerly awaits the phone call that will enable her to officially add to her brood. The good news can't come soon enough. "I just want more kids," she told People recently. "I'm having a great time."
