This face makes me laugh so hard... what do you think she was thinking???

We had visitors to Louin!!! It was so great to spend a weekend with Marigene and Daniel's friend, Chad, who now lives in Biloxi. We had a fun time playing Catchphrase for hours, hanging out by the fire, enjoying the cool air (it was 52 degrees here on Sunday morning), eating at Daveys, and of course watching football!!

Emma had her 6 month check up today..She has gained 2 pounds and weighs 16 and a half pounds.. she has grown 1 inch and is 26 and a half inches long..

She is still in the 75th percentile for height and 50th for weight!!

Wild Weekend!!

Mason wedding: Beau, Chuck, Daniel, Andy, Mike, Jimmy, Tim

Daniel is 28 now!! I know he had a fun celebration at the wedding with everyone!Chuck & Pepper Kroll - Congrats to them! It was so much fun!
Carrie, Stephanie, Christian & Erica

The wedding in Mason was great... It started at 6:30 on Saturday, which if you don't recall was during the 2nd OT of the Aggie game. It was pretty funny to think about all the guys having to leave to go take pictures at the wedding while the girls stayed in the room to watch the game! We get to the wedding and the guys are still over by the trucks listening to the game on the radio.. Fortunately, the Aggies won!! It was fun to catch up with everyone at the wedding and hang out.. Big thanks to all the grandparents for taking care of Emma while we relaxed..

Now we are back in Mississippi and ready to welcome Gene to Louin for the weekend!
