The Russo's

We had our first fall fire on November 1st  We enjoy sitting by the fire and we got the kids to come out and do smores  The Boughers came in town to visit and go to the Cain concert. It's crazy how tall Nash and Hudson are getting.  We ate beignets We watched the LSU game and Ashley came to visit We went to the concert on Sunday night. They assigned us the color blue to wear for the night.  Caleb & John and John Reddick were openers. It was a really good concert!  It was good to see Gianna having fun and worshipping The girls got to meet Caleb & John after the concert. Gianna bought a shirt too.  We went to Nana & Papa's the night before Thanksgiving and made homemade pizzas.                                                           We went for lunch the next day. 

Hudson and Kaden participated in the LGA shoot  Trying to get a cute picture of Cason with Gianna at church                                                                                           Hudson started bow hunting this year and spent a lot of time preparing and being in the woods. He finally killed a doe.  Josh was asked to perform a wedding ceremony for a work friend, Justin Riddle. He has known him from his early Entergy days. The wedding was at his parents house. Josh did a great job and it was a nice ceremony.  Just a cute pet photo with Willow and Camo together. Willow was 10 years old in August and Camo turned 6 this month. 

Hudson was running into the shop on September 5th and twisted his ankle wearing crocs. It was hurting and swollen. I took him to urgent care the next day and they did an x-ray. He had a high ankle sprain. He wore a boot and used crutches for a few days.  We had a movie night at Jamie's house and watched Stitch  Hudson wanted to work on bush hogging his plot for hunting season. He was wearing his boot on the tractor.  Gianna went out to dinner with her dance friends to SoLou Mom celebrated Gianna & Charli's birthdays for August and September.  Jen and her family were going to Fairhope for a weekend and would go to the beach for a day. Mom wanted to meet up with them. Mom, Jamie, Jules, Gianna and I decided last minute to book a condo in Gulf Shores. We left after lunch on Friday September 19th. We stopped at Buccee's and they met us there and visited for a little.  View from our condo  They came to the beach on Saturday morning  Love having coffee t...

 Gianna did temporary red hair color for fun  Kaden celebrated his birthday at False River. They rented a boat for the afternoon and invited us to join. Hudson and Gianna did knee boarding for the first time They also rode the tube. It was a fun afternoon.  The first day of the dance year  We went to Chic Fil a for lunch on Gianna's birthday We went to Raising Cane's for dinner that night We went to our house after for presents and cake  Gianna said she didn't want to do anything for her birthday and then we persuaded her to do something, even if it was simple. I guess that was the teenager talking, but she is worth celebrating! I am blessed to have my coffee and shopping buddy!  Uncle Joe passed away suddenly on August 16th. The celebration of his life was on August 23, 2025. It was a beautiful service. He was the life of the Russo gatherings and he will be missed!  The kids started school on August 26th.
