Who Dat?

With a little help from our newly discovered good luck charm, the Saints have gone 3-0!!!! Gary and Vince are convinced that every time they see a little leprechaun before the game, the Saints will have a victory. Now obviously folks, they have not seen a lot of this little green guys based on the Saints' history, but it appears to be working! We had a great time last night, and we were completely exhausted at work today. We met a lot of people before the game (around 1:00 p.m.) and went to the pre-game festivities outside of the dome. The pictures will show the story of how the little leprechaun found us! We didn't get home until midnight, but it was a great experience! By the way . . . if any of my Texas family or friends want to know what they are actually saying (or meaning) during that little "Who dat" chant, I am going to have to refer you to Gary. I still have no idea.
Look hard at the last picture. You can see Vince in their with his good luck charm! I am going to publish some more pictures on a separate blog so the can fit.

Spike and Tuffy think the new room is for them

New baby update! Lesley went for another ultrasound today with the maternal/fetal specialist, and everything looks great! Brady is weighing in at 1 lb. 3 ounces, and Reese is a close second at 1 lb. 2 ounces! This is excellent for even single babies at this stage (22 weeks), so we are really pleased. He mentioned that Lesley looks to have no problems, and should be able to go to 37 weeks! Another huge accomplishment! Brady is head down, but Reese is sprawled out sideways. Gary says it is just like a woman to take up all the room! We'll show him taking up all the room!!!!! Every time the doctor put the ultrasound wand on Reese, she kicked at him. I guess he is already learning a thing or two about the women in our family. We are hoping that I will be able to attend the next appointment. Then I can kick him if he is bugging her!
On another note . . . Tuffy and Spike think the nursery is for them. I have been putting the furniture together, painting, organizing, and occasionally they sneak in. In the picture you can see Spike trying to lay in it, and the mattress isn't even there! Tuffy is more of an in and out kind of girl, but she loves the orange shag rug! She makes biscuits on it and rolls around like it is her long lost buddy!

Saints Victory!!!

You would have thought it was the Super Bowl win of the century in our house. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the Saints won a football game! And they played well, too!!!! Vince came to watch with Gary and I, so I am going to completely embarrass them both and publish some pictures of them on the blog. Keep in mind these are completely impromptu pictures, since they had no idea I had the camera!
It is tough being a Saints fan, but victories are sweet!

Lesley's brunch was today, and it was a huge success. It was hosted by her very good friend, Heather, and we had a wonderful time. Lesley got gift certificates for massages, food delivery, lotions, pajamas, and all kinds of stuff to pamper her. That will certainly help, since she is carrying such important cargo! Heather did a beautiful job, and I was so grateful that we had an opportunity to honor Lesley and her family for their sacrifice.
I am attaching some pictures of the brunch!
