Gina and I enjoyed a wonderful weekend with Thomas, Ashley and Abigail. We woke up early Friday morning so Gina could make homemade biscuits for Thomas. Abigail enjoyed them too.

After breakfast it was time for the birthday girl to get her new dress on.

We all had a few errands to run which included getting balloons. What’s a birthday party without balloons???
Gigi found these cute sunglasses and bib before we left Houston.

Once we got back from our errands it was time to decorate.

Ashley and GiGi did a fantastic job.
They even decorated her highchair.
She had her very own red velvet cupcake with candle. She didn’t quite know what to do with flame. Finally she was able to blow it out with a little help from her dad.
We all found out she loves icing.
After she enjoyed her two cupcakes it was bath time before opening her presents.
Her first present was a Little Tike’s car.
Her next present was an LSU tiger outfit and then one of her dad’s favorite books when he was a child. “Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See”. He was so excited that we had to stop for a few minutes so he could read it to her.
I’m not sure who had more fun, Thomas and Ashley or GiGi and Pops.

We had to tell Thomas bye Saturday morning since he was leaving for a three week exercise in the desert. Congratulations to Ashley as she begins her journey of becoming a teacher by starting her undergraduate degree in education.

On Friday we had some more wonderful news. Nicole, our daughter had an ultrasound and found out she is having two girls. We are ecstatic for her and Shane. Those babies are sure growing. Here is a picture of her on Friday.
16 weeks, three days
Our soon to be grand-daughters
On Saturday afternoon I received an email from Delta that Gina's flight was cancelled and they put her on the redeye flight for Sunday night to New Jersey. It took me two hours to change her flight but I got her into New Jersey tonight. She will be in New Jersey until August 18th. However, on the other hand my flight back to Houston was uneventful. Just the way I like it.
Now that this trip is over it's time for us to get ready for our next trip. Gina and I are going to Destin, Florida with Dana and Rickey, my sister and BIL on August 20 for a week of relaxing on the beach. As you all can see we haven't stopped traveling. We're just not traveling by RV.
Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.
Mercy I'm tired just reading that blog! I know you will miss Gina bunches!
