Ethan Attack...

GranGran and Grandaddy Biggs were in town, everyone was outside, it was a nice day… so I thought it was a good time to practice manually working my camera’s video controls. Maybe I should start with inanimate objects. I didn’t really get far past turning my camera on. Get the Flash...

Giraffe BBQ Part 1...

The long awaited party day finally arrived. We spent the morning busily finishing up little details. The desserts were baked, cupcakes iced, giraffe snacks dished and the giraffe birthday shirt made. I was very proud of myself for actually following through with the ideas I had for this party and it...

Family Time...

As we were getting ready for the big Ethan and Nguyen birthday bash, we set aside some time to celebrate dad’s birthday and just hang out. Eric and Leanna came in town so this was one of the few times a year my whole family is together. Everybody had a great time! We ate awesome mandarin orange...

Family Visits...

It was so nice to have my family come visit. Abigail and Ethan had a great time playing with each other. They poked and swatted and jump on air mattresses together. Mom and Dad loved having both grandkids in the same place. Get the Flash Player to see this content. var params = { 'allowfullscreen':...

Easter In GA...

Ethan and I road over to Georgia with my parents to visit Amie and Abigail for a week. Nguyen had to work so he couldn’t join us. Ethan did a great job traveling! He was a super good baby. We had a fabulous time visiting with Amie, Rich and Abbie. Mom and I did get a touch of a stomach bug and...

Thanksgiving With Family...

Georgia.  Did you know we made it to Georgia and back with a 3.5 month old?  That’s something like… a bunch of hours away.  In over 1500 miles, we lassoed a good chunk of 4 states and a sliver of Florida.  Ethan slept most of the way there and back!  That’s quite a feat in my book...

My First Visit to DeRidder...

Last weekend was full of first for this little man. His first visit to Gran and Grandaddy’s house, first visit to Catfish Hut (aka Best Salads Ever), and first Sunday morning at church (he got to wear his “fancy pants” his Gran bought for him). With so many firsts, we decided to have...

Baby Shower Homecoming...

Recently, some family friends from DeRidder gave Nguyen and I a wonderful baby shower. I had the privilege of spending time with people I grew up with and had always looked up to and admired. They have been incredibly supportive throughout high school, college, weddings and now babies too! I am blessed...

Mommy’s First Baby Shower...

YAY! My first baby shower! It was a morning filled with lovely people and lovely baby things! The lovely hostesses had beautiful decorations and WONDERFUL food. Brunch-slash-breakfast food is one of my favorites! Our friends and family have been SO generous with helping us get ready for little Ethan....
