Yay, they’re building a Whole Foods in Sugar Land. The closest one to us now is practically downtown. At least this one will be close to work.

Forgot to take pics, but yesterday we had our monthly department meeting. This month though, it was at a place called Incredible Pizza. It’s sorta like a Chuck E Cheese, Cici’s Pizza, and Celebration Station mushed into one place

Our boss provided everyone with a free buffet for lunch. We then had our meeting in one of the meeting rooms the place has (complete with projector even), and then we all got $10 game cards to go play games. I mostly played skee ball, and few arcade games here there. Nice little outing away from the office, since I always bring lunch and eat at my desk.

By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can open and close her eyes, which now sport lashes. This movement is more of a reflexive blink than a deliberate opening and closing, but it won’t be long before she’s batting those beauties at you.

Baby O really enjoyed visiting all her family over Thanksgiving. Sorry she was so coy about kicking. Hopefully she’ll be more forthcoming at Christmas.

By the way, we finally finished our registries if anyone is interested. The links to our Wal-mart and Babies-R-Us registries are on the menu on the left. Thanks in advance for any gifts!

We’re back on the road now after visiting all the family this past weekend.

We had Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday with my sister and her family house at her house in Slidell, LA. My brother’s Briton and Jared showed up (Jared took a nap afterward as pictured). Later that evening, we headed to Bay Saint Louis, MS to visit Donna’s MOM and Pappa. More turkey leftovers and cake (yum!) followed.

Friday was just more lounging around, visiting, eating, watching TV, etc…

Saturday morning I developed what we think was a case of food poisoning. I thought I maybe just ate too much or was bloated from all the snacking and sodas I had Friday. My Stomach felt really really full Friday night when we headed to bed. I got up at 4am for a potty break and my stomach felt awful, like it was going to pop. Next thing I know, I’m throwing up….a lot. Thankfully it was just one long nasty spell, and it stopped. I just felt like total crap afterwards for the rest of the day.

At 7:30am my stomach was ok so as planned we headed to New Orleans to visit Donna’s dad and step-mom. I spent most of the day here bundled in my sweater hoodie, coat, mittens, and napping cause I had the chills and fever of 102 at one point. Finally in the evening the Tylenol kicked in and I felt pretty fine. So Ma wanted to snap a picture of me with the birthday cake since I was out cold during dinner and do presents. I got a pretty spiffy sheet of Marvel Collectors Stamps. Never knew they had ‘em. They’ll go nextto my Star Wars stamps.

We then spent Saturday night at Dawn’s house (Donna’s sister), which actually used to be where Donna and I lived when she and her sister co-owned the house back in 2000-2001. While Lakeview still isn’t near what it looked like pre-Katrina, we noticed more and more houses coming back up every visit. So yay.

Sunday morning we stopped at Granny’s house to say hi and she how she was doing for a little while, then we hit road to head home.

That’s pretty much the recap of the trip. We took Highway 90 west to Lafayette to get around the closed portion of I-10. Ran in to some really nasty weather, but it looks like we’ve made it through the worst.

Only 203 miles to go!
