Cancer Association of Greater New Orleans Race

August 25, 2006
We participated in a run for the Cancer association this weekend, since Gary's boss helps with the event. Of course, we were not the runners, we were the walkers! We actually talked ourselves into a little bit of jogging. I think it is because neither of us wanted to come in last! Plus, they had food at the end, and we were ready to eat! I sprinted the last few feet, so I could beat Gary. He claims he caught up, but I was still a second in front! Ha Ha

August 22, 2006


This morning when I got to work, my office had been decorated by my coworkers, Phyllis and Paris, after they heard our good news! It was so cute, and thoughtful. I guess there will be a lot more happy tears to come, but I thought I was dry after yesterday! It was even Phyllis' birthday, and she brought me star cupcakes with pink and blue icing! It was a really wonderful day, and a nice way to return to work.
I scanned in all 4 pictures, so some are sideways. The one that has the stork on it says "Lesley!" Isn't that cute?!

IT'S A BOY! IT'S A GIRL!


August 21, 2006
Well, it is official! Baby A is a boy, and baby B is a girl! We couldn't be more thrilled to be able to experience both worlds! Our appointment went beautifully. We met with the maternal/fetal specialist, since twins are considered "high risk," however, Lesley is carrying the pregnancy like a champ! The appointment was perfect. Both babies' measurements were right on target (head size, length, weight, etc.) Our boy is 10 ounces, and our girl is 8 ounces. Both babies are breech, but we anticipate scheduling a c-section in December. The physician stated that Lesley is at low-risk of pre-term delivery based on his examination, so everything is great! We have had a really wonderful day, and so glad to share it with all of you! I am going to attach a shot of both babies, but I think it is going to be near impossible to see anything. Baby A is facing the camera. You can see head, eyes, mouth, nose, tummy, but still "alienish!" The doctor said he was a little camera shy! Baby B is a profile, and you can't tell, but she was trying to suck her thumb! More news to come!

Katie's shower





Gary told me to take a picture of Katie at her shower, because he just couldn't picture her pregnant . . . at eight + months, there is no room to guess! That baby is definitely getting her nutrients! We had a wonderful time at Katie's shower, and it is so exciting to be having babies around the same time! We planned that out when we were about 10, but you know how those "plans" usually go astray! Katie looked beautiful, and appears to feel great, so everyone pray that her house gets finished soon! Go Katie!

Taylor, Nanna, and Papa




We went to Midland for a quick trip, and Taylor spent some quality time with Nanna and Papa. She took a trip to Toys-R-Us, ran through the sprinklers, harrassed the dogs, and never, I repeat never, ran out of energy!Of course, she gets to do whatever she wants with the grandparents, which I'm sure makes it a treat to get back into a routine at home! She is quite a little personality, and apparently has taken a special interest in "getting clean." My toothbrush was used as a "scrubber" so to speak on her backside, so time for a new toothbrush! Good thing I saw her. I wander if Lesley and Nick have kept a close eye . . . . :)

Wendy's house





We went to Wendy and Joey's house today for lunch. Mr. Charles and Ms. Margie joined us, and they brought Pepe. Ms. Rosie joined us, too. Wendy cooked some great food, and it was a great time to catch up. I am attaching pictures of our little lunch crew, and Wendy's cute house. I wanted to move next door, but I guess one house is all we can have for now! Pepe tried to assault Joey and Gary when they would touch Mr. Charles or Ms. Margie, as you can see by the mean growl he has on his face. We told him that Joey could take him down with his handcuffs and policeman stuff, but Pepe didn't care! What a guard dog!

Tummy Check!

We had a tummy check appointment today, and everything is fine so far! The heart beats sound good, and there were no worries or concerns. Lesley is pretty sure that one of the heart beats sounded like a girl, and the other sounded like a boy, but we won't know until the 21st! We will keep you posted.

Alabama wedding






We went to Jasper, Alabama this weekend to see our friends Phyllis and Jonathan get married. They chose a beautiful park off the lake, as you can probably tell in the pictures. There were a lot of New Orleans people that showed up to support them, and we had a good time! Avery, Phyllis' dog was also a big part of the ceremony! I think Harley is going to be jealous!
Spike and Tuffy were so glad to see us when they got home that they jumped on (and in) our luggage. I guess they think we can't leave if they have confiscated the bags!
