The Russo's

I have a few posts to do, but my computer screen was cracked and is getting fixed. I went to see how to do mobile blogging since I have pictures on my phone to use. I found that Blogger has an app and it's so easy to use!  We had a few days of cooler weather and the kids played outside more. They usually like to go outside, but it's been hot and they want to go back in.  Gianna went for her first Jeep ride. She really liked it and kept saying, "this is fun!" She doesn't like wind in her face, but would peek out of her fingers.  The guys being silly with mustaches.  Hudson came in Sunday afternoon and fell asleep on the couch. He looked so sweet and peaceful.  Sometimes we stop for icees after school. Hudson is doing well in school and learning a lot. No more tears since the first week :)   Gianna is really into baby dolls. She is now taking them everywhere she goes.  My business is going pretty well so far. I did an open house a couple weeks ago. I am ...

This is a catch up post. The day after school started Nana B paid for the grandkids to go Liberty Lagoon. It was our first time going and it was a lot of fun.  It is very kid friendly and had  something for everyone. Gianna loves to slide.  The lazy river was a favorite for everyone.  Thanks Nana B! Gianna played very hard! Jen and her family were planning on coming in town this weekend, but they came early on the 15th. They stayed at our house. It was a short trip, but we crammed in some activities.   We went fishing at a pond at my Dad's work.    It's a good pond for kids because they have so many little fish that you get a bite every time.   They still didn't last long with all the action. Next, we headed to the spray park to cool them off. Back at our house they played outside and rode on the 4 wheelers and dirt bikes.   On Saturday, we went to LSU to see...

Our little girl turned two on Sunday. She has always seemed older and her baby days went by too fast. We went to the doctor today for her check up.

Hudson had his first day of Pre-K on Friday. Josh took off to go bring him and pick him up. Also, to be moral support for me :) He was doing good at home and a little excited to go.  We walked him inside and he was a little hesitant to go in the gym. The teachers said we could sit with him for a little while. When the bell rang, we said our goodbyes and he was fine. Gianna wanted to stay at school and was disappointed when she had to go. We waited in the hall for a minute. It's like we didn't want to leave, but we knew we had to. That was the tough part and I cried a little as we left.  His teacher sent us a picture of him saying he was enjoying school and doing well. I also called the office and checked on him half way through the day. They had all good things to say about him. I cried again when I got it because he is growing up :(  We all made it through the first day! He didn't cry or ask for us. I think he is enjoying it. I like hearing about his day...
