NAILED IT!

This week was Millie's "birthday week"! The girls came to town Saturday, and I took them to get their nails done and a trip to Michael's. They got mani/pedis "LSU" nails at Impressive Nails (purple and gold tiger stripes with gold tiger paws on their ring fingers). Millie said, "Impressive nails? Hmmmmm, that's impressive!"

I gave them each a $20 limit at Michael's, and we were in there FOREVER until I had to put a time limit on it too. Geez, they are worse than me! No arts and crafts supplies though, they were mesmerized by the "junk" toys. SMH...

Polished up, got their goodies, riding down the highway singing at the top of their lungs to Taylor Swift's "Teardrops on My Guitar"...NAILED IT!

Showering Baby Gus!

I am the oldest of five.

Chapman Family 1989

My youngest brother was born my senior year of high school...SAME parents! He arrived just as I was leaving for college. It is ironic that he and his wife will be having their first baby, just as my youngest is graduating from high school and leaving for LSU!

Family and friends hosted a shower for baby Gus a few weeks ago. We have a big family when we all get together, Baby Gus will make grandbaby #10 for my parents!

If he is half as cute as these baby pictures of his mommy and daddy, he'll be one handsome little booger!
