Vacation Has Begun!

Giving Daddy bunny ears

Eskimo Kisses

Truly amazed by how much I love and adore her!

So this year we are not taking a true vacation, but we both took a week off of work to enjoy some family time. We kicked our vacation off by going to a housewarming party and a wedding on Saturday.

On Sunday, we went to the Ringling Brother's Circus, which was an all day event. We saw the animals before the show. Then we watched various "side show" performances before the show began. Gabby even went to the center ring with a bunch of other children and learned a new dance by one of the performers. She really seemed to enjoy the show, she never took her eyes off of the performances, except to eat cotton candy of course. The cotton candy caused her to be unable to sit still in her seat. Michael described her as a can of soda who had been shaken up, which is an appropriate description. We really enjoyed our weekend of making memories and I hope to update every few days while we are on vacation to share our adventures.

We went early to meet the animals before the show

This is what she thought of the elephants, they smelled.

Gabby got a lesson in the center ring by one of the performers

We had front row seats to a clown performance

Getting ready for the show to begin

We watched an elephant paint better then I can

No circus is complete without some dangerous felines

There were tons of these bubbles with ladies doing acrobats in them

The elephants had some serious skills in the finale


The dragon was finally revealed (the story line for the circus)

Gabby is already asking when we can go again. I guess we will have to again some time soon when they are in town.

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.

It All Started with a Little Skittle...
