Easter 2014




Nanny surprised us by arriving the day before Easter and we convinced her to stay and celebrate the holiday with us!  Michael, Gabby, and I went to church Saturday night and we ended up leaving early because it was the Easter Vigil which meant they were baptizing and confirming hundreds of people.  Gabby really enjoyed church and cried when we left but it was almost 10:00 PM and she fell asleep on the way home. We set out some water and carrot for the Easter Bunny as directed by Miss Gabrielle. Then we called it a night.





Easter was the best one ever in my opinion.  Sorry I am writing this so long after the holiday, but there is a very very good reason.  Stay tuned.  Easter started like any typical Easter, Gabby following a trail of chocolate Easter eggs leading to her overflowing Easter basket.  Easter was basically like Christmas gift wise.  The Easter Bunny gave her a very small doll house with a girl hidden in all of the Easter eggs that she hunted.


While getting ready Easter morning I was talking to Nanny.  Nanny told me that I should get a dream journal and start writing down my dreams.  I asked her why and she said because your dream was right.  I looked at her confused, unsure what she was talking about.  Nanny said, because I am pregnant.  AWESOME, AMAZING, EXCITING news!! And I have to contain this for how long?!?! Three weeks until Uncle Patrick and Nanny can be together to share the news with all of the grandparents.


After finding out the news and sneaking a box of pregnancy books into the back of her car the Easter festivities began.  Grandma, Papa, Nanny, Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Ellen, Chelli, and Aaren all joined our quiet celebration.  It was fun.  We ate lunch and then took a quick trip to tour Grandma and Papa's new home and to poc eggs!  Gabby had fun but we only played with half of the eggs.



Easter was a fun day filled with family and friends.  It was so sweet watching Gabby hunt eggs and get excited about the Easter Bunny's gift and the fact that he ate all of her carrots.  I really cherish these days.  Time, please slow down.

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.
