Nana's First Visit

Staten's mother came to visit us this past weekend from Georgia. Oh yea, he's going to post his comments in parentheses in line with mine. Anyway, not only was she coming to Northern Louisiana for the first time, but this was her first time meeting Abigail. Remember our trip to Georgia in July was cut short due to Abilou's (S.O. : that's abigail) illness (S.O. : one of our worst visits to GA ever) therefore delaying Abigail's introduction to Staten's family (S.O. : we had a fish fry planned and everything dang it!). Nana made Abilou (S.O. : that's abigail) chuckle so loud (S.O. : i was in shock the first two times that i heard her laugh. i've been trying to make her laugh for weeks. all she would ever do is look at me like i was crazy.)! We had tears from laughing so hard! Ms. Linda spoiled us with home cooked meals (S.O. : it was some of that slap ya mama cooking, but of course, i didn't do any slapping. Yea, because she was cooking; i didn't want to distract her, and i didn't want to get body slamed.) and much loving (S.O. : nobody shows love quite like mama does.). We visited a pumpkin patch (S.O. : walked for miles just to see a field full of 2 oz pumpkins), watched movies (S.O. : the soloist sucks; hollywood does not know how to make a happy movie!) and ate like pigs (S.O. : oink, oink)! Staten especially loved spending time with his mother (S.O. : yea, took her to the shop and showed her my chicken s?#t burning machine. if you're in the family, you know what that is if you are not: well ... can't tell you; it's clasified). Thanks for coming to visit us and for all the extra pounds we have gained (S.O. : oink, oink)!!

(S.O. : Mama, we really had fun, and can't wait until we see you again. We love you very much!)
