Binch/McIlroy Family Reunion


The family reunion was a big almost week long event. It started on Thursday when Grandma, Grandpa, and Emma arrived. We kicked Uncle Mark out if his bed and put him in the princess bed and the kids slept on the floor. On Friday the crowd arrived: Sherri, Summer, Uncle Skipper, Shar, Great Aunt Peggy, Great Uncle Bill, Aunt Sharon, Uncle Lee, and Brody all arrived. We had so many people that Uncle Skipper and Shar had to stay in a hotel, all children slept on the floor, and we invaded and took over Grandma and Papa's entire house filling up all of their beds as well. Friday was shopping for the party and getting your hair done by Summer. You LOVED having all of your cousins here and y'all played until way past your bed time.



The actual family reunion was at the clubhouse in the front of our neighborhood. Everyone listed above was there plus Aunt Janet, Uncle Gary, Jenny and her family, Adam and his family, Uncle Jerry, Aunt Sharon, and all of Aunt Sharon's friends were there. It was a lot of work but I am happy that you got to meet so much of your family you had yet to meet in your four years of life. Hopefully you will grow up understanding how important family truly is.

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.
