What's been happening

Well, now that the hurricane is behind us, I guess it is time that I update my blog. I have to mention first that I don't have any pics from the hurricane--sorry. I just had too much else to worry about. On the bright side, we are all safe and I got to clean out my freezer and fridge!



Annabelle had her first day of school on Aug 18. She was upset about the extended labor day weekend--lenghtened out by Hurricane Gustav. But she did get to spend 3 days at grandma's house while we were without power.



Annabelle and her cousins had a great time one weekend in Magnolia, MS at our recreation property.

This is the cabin that will be hopefully be finished in time for Christmas overlooking the newly constructed lake. (No help from me unfortunately--but I have a good excuse--I am now 17 1/2 weeks pregnant.)

Annabelle took a mud bath in the beautiful red clay lake that is not finished yet. Thanks to uncle seth, she was able to be hosed off. Unfortunately she drank too much of that "muddy water" and woke of the next morning throwing up and missed church.

Well, I guess I have helped the cabin building a little. I watched Amy's daughter Aliyah Friday through Saturday. She and Joseph had a great time together and didn't get too jealous of the other over my attention.

The LSU campus has had the "new" mike the tiger for about a year now. One of the advantages of a younger tiger is that they are playful. Joseph and Annabelle, along, with their cousins, Myron and Ethan, enjoyed watching him swim and play in his on-campus habitat.

Joe loved meowing at the kitty!

Joseph and Annabelle playing in the waiting room at Dr. West's office.

Joseph's 15 month check-up--he finally weighed in at 20lbs! And of course was not happy about his shots.

Joe at the water park. He loved it--finally. We went a few times earlier in the summer and was unsure of it and so was sister. (Sorry no good pics of annabelle--only ones I had were of her rearend--and while cute--I figured this pic of joe would be enough from that outting.)

Before we went to the wet park we went to the dry one. Here Joe is showing off his athletic ability.

Before we left that morning for the park. Joseph got into Daddy's ties. (Nota a first or last occurence.)

Looks like sister did too. But I know Joe started it.

For Annabelle's cousin Mya's b-day they went to Libby Lu. Annabelle was in HEAVEN!

Annabelle and Joe take a ride on Garfield's back at the Tanger Outlet Mall.

So, nothing much happenning. But I thought I could at least post some of the things that have been happening lately. More posts to come "hopefully" sooner than later! (Oct 21st is the big "ultrasound" day! Annabelle is hoping for her sister, Caroline!)
