A few updates

Hudson had his 2 year check up last week. He weighs 30 pounds and is 35 inches tall. He is in the 75th percentile for both. He was very afraid of the doctor and didn't want any part in the exam. Dr. Wood said kids start liking him at 3, so it was normal behavior for his age. He checked out perfectly and is a healthy boy. Hudson is showing signs of readiness for potty training, so the plan is to start soon.



I had a good mother's day weekend. I spent Saturday with my mom and Jamie. On Sunday, both of our families came over for a barbeque. I've been so blessed to be a mom to Hudson and looking forward to a double blessing when the baby comes.



Speaking of the baby, she finally has a name. We will be welcoming Gianna Ella Russo in August!! Gianna is a variation of Jean after my late maternal grandmother, which is my own namesake. Ella is after Josh's maternal grandmother. Little Gianna has taken a growth spurt in the last week or so. I'm really feeling pregnant now. I feel good, but just have little things like heartburn and back aches. I'm 25 weeks and have about 100 days left to go.

 Rehearsal was on Friday April 11th. Gianna and Grace went early to help with the littles. We had tickets to Showcase 2 on Saturday  The girls in their dressing room. They were in all four showcases that weekend.  Tap - "Shake" Jazz - "Take it All Back"  Pointe- "O The Blood"  Ballet Intense - "My America" Ballet - "Flowers"  Hip Hop Gianna celebrated her 10th year with DDA and had a special tribute during the recital.  This is proof that Hudson went  So proud of Gianna for her hard work. She did a great job! The ballet and pointe dances were so powerful and beautiful this year! I always get teary when I watch and this year was no different.  I volunteered on Sunday for the last showcase I was with a class next to Jules and got to watch some of her dances from back stage.  Gianna and Jules were both in this showcase, so my parents came to watch on Sunday A long weekend for the big girls, but they love doing it

February 2025

The girls had dress rehearsal for dance. I went on the Thursday class on the 6th. We got to see a preview of the dances.  Hudson had his first driving session on February 10th. He has to do 8 hours of driving with 2 hours being at night. I waited in the parking lot until he left. We did pretty good waiting while he was gone, but we kept checking Life 360. He said it was fine, I thought he was a little nervous. Afterward, he said it was no big deal. I guess we shouldn't be surprised, since he has been driving off road vehicles since he was young.  We spent Valentine's Day at home and made pizzas.  My birthday was on a Friday and I had work. Josh surprised me with an orchid for my desk.  I had lunch with some of my family at Albashas. Dillon was in town for something else and was able to come to lunch.  We celebrated our 19th anniversary by going to The little Big Cup in Arnaudville.  The food was really good. I had the crab cake and eggplant stack and Josh h...
