soooooo busy....

Let me start off by saying, last week was awesome!

However, let me now say, today is one of those "awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" days.

I'm sitting here in the living room, watching KLG and Hoda, Graham is on his first nap of the day, I'm still in my pajamas, loads of laundry stacked down the hallway waiting for their turn in the washer and now, now I can update this thing called a blog.

Where shall I start.

Mary Elice went into labor/got induced Wednesday morning. She is a baby MAKER! She was set to go in the morning of the 14th to speed up this process and when she got there she was already having contractions and dialated to a 4.

Lucky!

(it took me all 24 hours to get to a 4)

She had her at 12:31...just in time for us all to have lunch and still have an entire day ahead of us.

Everything went beautifully.

8lbs 5ounces.

...and she looks a LOT like her big sister when she was first born...

The next day Momma semi-celebrated her 46th birthday.

Yvette Slagle and I (mostly yvette) whipped up some of her famous favorites...yum!

Grandy made her a sweet cake....and since the Broussard family still hadn't been released from the hospital we had cake and presents on the 4th floor of United Regional. 

 

Momma/Honey on her 46th Birthday with her 3 grandbabies!!!

I can't believe it.

In less than 2 years she became one heck of a Honey... let's hope the next 2 years don't bring 3 more. Eck!

Happy Birthday to my beautiful Momma!

Friday: Started the annual Ritchie Reunion.

(at this time, Graham and I are already pretty worn out)

but not too worn out for all of these Ritchie's

we had DeEdra out for a group shot...

Love DeEdra!

and love having family.

we had THE biggest firework show of all timeS!

...the boys went all out...

Graham got to meet and hang out with tons of family and everyone fell in love with him!

love, love, love him!
