He Loves Himself

I decided to let Stuart watch himself in the laptop video camera.

HE LOVES HIMSELF!

First Trip to Grandmama and Grandpapa's

Maddie got to go to my mom's house for Vacation Bible School. It was a welcome break for me, I needed it as I am finished with the first trimester of baby number three. She had a wonderful time. She had something to do everyday. I'm glad she got to have this special time with them.

"It was AWESOME"

Grandmama and Maddie made delicious cupcakes

Maddie helped mix the ingredients

Using Grandpapa's flashlight was also a favorite thing to do

Playing Grandmama's Baby Grand

I think her favorite thing at my parent's is playing the piano

Sun City's playground, the retired people like to play on it too.

This is the most sentimental picture for me. I have many pictures like this with my dad. I have to tell you, on first look I thought it was us.

The pond they all went fishing at in Sun City

Grandmama packed a wonderful lunch for everyone.

First Picnic, and who better to have one with?

Ice Cream! At the store with Grandmama

She must have been so tired, in the morning this is how they found her asleep

Every morning Grandmama made Maddie and Grandpapa breakfast. They always ate on the patio outside.

Then the time came to go back home with daddy and Stuart.

Which by the way was in the middle of hurricane Alex which was not too bad for a class 1 hurricane.

Thank you for showing her a wonderful time!

Stuart's First Steps

Thank You Aunt Lois

Thank you Aunt Lois for such a thoughful gift.

He loves it he pushes it all over the house!

It rattles really loud when he pushes it, which makes him love it that much more!

Rain Forest Cafe

On rare occasion we all get together. What better reason than a child's first birthday. This year we treated everyone to lunch at Rainforest Cafe. We had a wonderful time, Maddie and Stuart loved all the animals. The adults however left feeling a bit overstimulated!

All of us

Birthday Boy! Using a fork for the first time

LSU Tigers hat from Papa

Happy Birthday!

Cupcakes and Presents

This year was Stuart's first birthday. Unfortunately, Chuck and I had to work so it was up to Grandma Ruth. As you know Stuart has severe allergies, I had actually found some special cake mix for the occasion. It all worked out, we celebrated at Rain Forest Cafe on Saturday.

Licking the icing

I didn't feel like going to the store so I cut out his birthday sign. Maddie helped me spell everything correctly.
