Lagniappe at Thanksgiving

Jeremy and I went to Mandeville, LA to visit with Mom, Stan, Gina, Tony, and Mema for Thanksgiving. We had a fantastic time and even got a chance to squeeze in a shopping trip to find stuff for the nursery. Oh by the way, for those of you who may not know, I am pregnant!! Today I am 12 weeks and 4 days (and just had another great check up with my doctor in Birmingham). So, back to Thanksgiving. Tony, Gina, Jeremy, and I spent some good bonding time over Mario Kart on the Wii. We even got Mom and Mema to play. The highlight of the trip was the tour of the Abita Beer Factory in Abita Springs. Well, the was the highlight for the others, really. Abita gave all "tourists" free access to the beer taps in the lobby of the factory. Lagniappe! They had root beer which was pretty good, but I mostly stuck to the Spring Water that was at the water fountain. It was a lot of fun and another way to spend some time with the family.

Tony and Gina got Jeremy and I a beautiful memory book to start for our little one, which we have nicknamed "Bean". On December 30th we will hopefully find out the sex of the baby. That will be a special day because is it also Dad's birthday. What better way to remember him than to begin dreams of our new family.

I will post pictures soon. Stay tuned...
