A Traveling We Will Go
Ethan and I tagged along with the grandparents for the 12 plus hour trip to GA for Abbie’s two year old birthday. It was well worth it. The kiddos absolutely loved seeing each other. After talking on the phone everyday, I think they were ready to get to play! We were so glad to have Aunt Janis and Uncle Marvin there, too. It was a great weekend and Abbie had a great birthday. I love my family!
Christmas 2010 Part 2
Our Christmas celebration involved 8 days, 8 adults and 2 toddlers all in one house. It was great fun and great chaos! The kiddos played together. Abbie taught Ethan how to have a tea party. Ethan stayed up late and woke up early… exhausting but very fun. In addition to the children bonding, brother proposed to his girlfriend, LeAnna! We were so blessed to be a part of their special moment. Eric was super thoughtful with his proposal and I’m pretty sure we all cried… well, the girls did at least! This goes down in the books as one of the most special Christmas’ that we have had.
Again! Again!!!

Ethan Attack
GranGran and Grandaddy Biggs were in town, everyone was outside, it was a nice day… so I thought it was a good time to practice manually working my camera’s video controls. Maybe I should start with inanimate objects. I didn’t really get far past turning my camera on.

Giraffe BBQ Part 2
Here are more pictures of the party. The little ones had great fun playing in the pool and in Ethan’s new wagon he got from Gran Gran and Granddaddy.
Family Time
As we were getting ready for the big Ethan and Nguyen birthday bash, we set aside some time to celebrate dad’s birthday and just hang out. Eric and Leanna came in town so this was one of the few times a year my whole family is together. Everybody had a great time! We ate awesome mandarin orange birthday cake, played with toys and laughed. Special memories!
Family Visits
It was so nice to have my family come visit. Abigail and Ethan had a great time playing with each other. They poked and swatted and jump on air mattresses together. Mom and Dad loved having both grandkids in the same place.

Texas, Here We Come
We’re moving to Texas! Not just to Texas, but to the fourth largest city in the country. Yep, Houston. So, this is beginning of a pretty big transition (seeing that Alex is the largest city I have ever lived in). Nguyen and my dad loaded up his truck and trailer to take the first load over. Much larger loads to come. We’re excited! We have many new and exciting and challenging opportunities ahead of us. Keep us in your prayers.
Easter In GA continued
Ethan had many “firsts” while we were in GA. He was away from his daddy for the first time. He had his first wagon ride (which he loved)! He and Abbie both loved being outside and riding in the wagon. Granddaddy would even run them up and down the driveway. Super Cute! Ethan also had his first time on a swing. He wasn’t sure what to think at first, but then I think he decided he liked it. We can’t wait for a yard to do fun things like that in more often!
