The Russo's

It's nice to have some warmer weather now, hopefully it won't get hot too quick. We have been spending more time outside and the longer days help too. We tried to walk a few times, but the kids want to get out of the stroller and run/walk themselves.  stopped and pick some flowers  The first snowballs of the season were blue raspberry for Hudson and strawberry for Gianna. They put a sour worm on top and they thought it was great.   Gianna can not eat hers in the car again. She spilled it the second she got it!   I took them to the playground one day for lunch and play time. This boy is so goofy!   Gianna can do the big slides now and do it all by herself We had a lot of rain and it's hard to keep a car clean on a gravel road. My car was really dirty, so the kids and I washed it.   Josh usually washes the vehicles, but he has been busy. It's a lot of work, so I see why I let him do it ;)   It ...

If I had to say, I think Gianna takes after the Russo's. She is talkative, loud, can be outgoing, likes to sing, sometimes bossy, is cuddly and a very sweet girl. Her potty training is going good for the most part. She has accidents sometimes, mostly when she is playing and doesn't stop to go potty. We moved her in a toddler bed 1 week ago. It is going well. She has only gotten out a few times. She really likes her "big girl bed" and wants to lay in it.  - likes to look at books and read to her stuffed animals.

She wants to do it herself.  - She falls asleep in the car if she hasn't had a nap and I brought her inside and held her while she slept a couple of times  It is such a rare thing these days, so I enjoyed holding her and remembering when she was a baby  - likes to fix hair and do makeup on her babies and me. She just got some lip gloss and says, "I need  to do my l...

Jen and Todd told us at Thanksgiving that they were moving back to Baton Rouge. They didn't know exactly when they would move, but it ended up being in February. Jen asked me if I would fly to Huntsville and drive her car back. I was happy to help and we booked a flight for February 13. It took me the whole day to get there with a flight cancellation and a 5 hour layover! Operation bring Gigi home  We left the next morning to make the trip home 12 hours later we made it!  We are all so happy to have them back here and look forward to Nash and Jetta growing up with the other cousins!  A week later, we celebrated our 30th birthday. It was extra special to have Jen here for our birthday. I don't think we have been together for a birthday in 5 years. We ate lunch together then got coffee and hung out at my house. That night all of our family went out to eat at the hibachi grill. My mom bought us crowns and necklaces to wear for the...
