Ethan Attack

Nguyen — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 04:52:32 +0000

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.

Giraffe BBQ Part 1

Emily — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 23:56:31 +0000

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 came out great. The best part ended up not being the decorations, but the wonderful time we had visiting with family and friends that joined us to celebrate two important birthdays. We are blessed to have people in our lives to celebrate special occasions. I’m so glad Ethan can look back on these memories and know how much he is loved!

P.S. Thanks Uncle Eric for helping ice cupcakes. You rock!

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 birthday cake, played with toys and laughed. Special memories!

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.

Easter In GA

Emily — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 03:48:42 +0000

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 Abbie had a bad ear infection, so we weren’t at our best. Despite illness we enjoyed our time together.

The benefits of parents living in rural Louisiana…

Thanksgiving With Family

Nguyen — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 16:35:24 +0000

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 (a book of feats… apparently). He’s destined for great things. I’m sure of it.

We got to spend some time with family at Janis and Marvin’s for Thanksgiving. It was my first time at their house so i got to experience a bit of Emily’s childhood as she went from room to room reliving her past.

As always we had great food and left with some new and wonderful memories.

My First Visit to DeRidder

Emily — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 21:11:18 +0000

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 a little photo shoot to commemorate the occasion.

Grandaddy and I

This was back on August 19, 2009; Ethan was only 5 days old!

Baby Shower Homecoming

Emily — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 18:53:28 +0000

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 to have a community of support from my home town. Thanks ladies, for a wonderful morning of games and food and marvelous company!
