Aunt Sharon's Visit

Aunt Sharon and her family came to visit her birthday weekend.  We were all very excited for her to come see our new house and have both of our families here together.  Of course, like any time I am excited I became very sick before they got here. We still went to the crawfish* festival and then had all of her friends over that evening for a party.  The kids destroyed my house pulling out every toy Gabby owned at least four or five times during the 5 hours of party.  Every parent took a turn cleaning up the tornado of children.  I kept insisting they just wait until the end, because inevitably the house was turned upside down with toys within 10 minutes of the cleaning.  Needless to say, the children had a wonderful time bouncing in the bounce house and playing with toys.  I think the adults had a wonderful time visiting too. It had been an extremely long time since Aunt Sharon had been to Houston.

I am so happy that Aunt Sharon, Uncle Lee, Emma, and Brody came to visit.  It was a wonderful whirlwind of a weekend (even though Sharon and I weren't feeling well).   I hope they will come visit more often.  

*I am aware this is the incorrect spelling of the word, but it's how you see it spelled all over Louisiana.

Thanksgiving 2013

Thanksgiving Day we all with to Grandma and Papa’s house to enjoy a traditional Cajun dinner and it was delicious.  Gigi, Blakeleigh, Brandy, Nanny, Uncle Patrick, Grandma, Papa, Aunt Lisa, Aunt Christine, and Keith were all there to celebrate with us.  Gabby enjoyed the day immensely playing with Blakeleigh the entire day and even trying to snuggle with her during her nap time.  Gabby made everyone sing "Happy Birthday" to Mommy and she blew out the candles Then Brandy and Blakeleigh spent two nights with us.  We had lots of fun going to Mud Pie to make handprint Christmas cookie plates and hanging out at Grandma’s house.  Gabby enjoyed very much singing Happy Birthday to Mommy with the family and blowing out my candle.  The night of my birthday Gabby spend the night with Grandma and Papa and Nanny, Uncle Patrick, Mommy and Daddy went to the movies together for the first time ever.  It was a very fun weekend.   T...

Sacrafices for My Angel

Everyone knows that being a parent is full of sacrifices and some are more difficult than others. So far being a Mom I have "sacrificed" my skin thanks to stretch marks, my youthfulness, thanks to the worries that cause the new wrinkles I notice weekly, my pretty legs thanks to the varicose veins I received during pregnancy that never went away, the comfort of sitting thanks to the back pain I have had ever since pregnancy, a good night’s sleep, and the list goes on... However, none of these things truly feel like a sacrifice (although I do miss sleep and my non-damaged body) they are just part of being a mommy and I wouldn't trade parenthood for anything! Today, however, a very difficult sacrifice was made, although I know it was the only choice. Ranger, the dog Michael and I had for 7 ½ years, was given to a new home today. He bit Gabby on her head when she was about 9 months old and then about a week ago he nipped at her and unfortunately that was the last straw. M...

Pink or Blue Skittle

Okay so as requested by many, I am posting a picture of my belly. A few people told me that they needed to see my belly before guessing the sex of the baby. When Michael took this picture last night we were both convinced my belly grew from the time I woke up. Please comment whether you think it's a boy or a girl or email me and let me know what you think because I would love to make a little scrapbook page of who guessed what. We will let you know October 30th, whether or not you are correct.
