8 Weeks Old & Lagniappe

We have been having a lot of things going on: the closing on our new house, Jay's academy graduation, taking care of Nola, and the first LSU game. We apologize if the pics haven't been coming out as often, but we hope you can understand.

Our house is coming along. We have been going pretty much every night and Jay is just about finished with Nola's room. SO CUTE! The pool is a different story. Brian came over last weekend and they uncovered the pool. It smelled like DEAD BODIES! The whole neighborhod stunk! Needless to say, they ended up draining the pool.

Thursday night we had Jay's graduation. He spent the last two months in a police academy to change his title from corrections officer to sheriff's officer, but he will continue to work in Internet Crimes. The graduation was supposed to start at 7:00 but waited until Nola's feeding time to begin. She started wailing and we had to watch from the kids' section in the back. But it didn't stop us from watching her dad win the Academic Award. Geaux Jay!

After the graduation, we rushed home to watch the LSU game on TV. We TIVOed the beginning so we could put Nola in her cheerleading outfit. She loved rootin' for the Tigers! Check out her wrist rattles!

Upcoming: We are traveling next weekend for Nola's first trip to New Orleans! YEAH! She will meet the rest of her family and also attend the LSU/VT Game in Baton Rouge. She tells me every day how excited she is! She also wants to send a shout out to her cousin Tripp and let him know he's going down with the Hokies!
