Lauren's 1st Haircut

Tonight my hairdresser, Shannon, came by the house to give Lauren her first haircut. She sat perfectly still the entire time!

Madelyn and Daniel's Baptism

This morning we celebrated the Baptism of Madelyn and Daniel at Mary Queen of Peace in Mandeville. Everything went well and all of the kids in attendance were on good behavior. It was fun watching Brad dress Daniel while the priest waited and Kevin and Trey stood over his shoulder with the candle! Ha Ha! We love yall!

Happy 5th Birthday, Cole!

Tonight we celebrated Cole's 5th birthday at Chuck E Cheese. Everyone had a great time. Austin was too busy playing to stop and tell the big mouse hello. Thanks, Cole for inviting us to celebrate with you!

Enjoying a Beautiful Day

Today the weather was mild so we enjoyed some time outside riding bikes and painting with sidewalk chalk.

Happy Birthday Fun

Austin had a great time Saturday at Nadia's 4th Birthday party. They celebrated at AnimalLand where they chose an animal to get 'stuffed' at the party. Austin chose a horse which he named "Nay-Nay" and picked out a Halloween t-shirt for him. Everyone had a great time singing karaoke and eating cake and ice cream, even Lauren! Happy Birthday, Nadia!

We Love Our Family

We love spending time with Monica and Brad and the two newest members of our family, Madelyn and Daniel. Here's to many more dinners and good times to come! We love yall!

Surviving Huricane Gustav

September started with a bang as we awaited news to see where Hurricane Gustav would strike. We decided to evacuate Mandeville early Saturday morning to be on the safe side (and not to get caught in contra-flow). We went to the Veillettes to stay with Grandpa...Rich and Ronnie were enjoying the US Open in NY. As it turned out, Mandy made out OK but Baton Rouge got hit pretty hard. Both the Veillettes and my mom lost 2 trees. Thank goodness for great friends and neighbors who were ready, willing, and able to help chainsaw,rake, and clear away all the mess the storm left behind. We love good friends and neighbors!!
