Storm Chaser

Another great adventure for Bix in Louisiana! After the excitement of Gustav...she had to check out Ike.
First we headed down to Winnfield for a visit with the "birthday girl" Mami.


We celebrated with a very nice dinner at a restaurant overlooking the water. With Ike close at hand, the view was somewhat obscured by the boarded up windows.


That didn't stop Bix from having a great time with her cousins Ethan and Elle Ann.


When we returned to Shreveport there was no electricity, so we went to bed in the dark.


In the morning, Bix got up bright and early to survey the damage. (nothing too serious)


Then it was time for Bix to tend to some of CiCi's gardening.


On our way out of town we stopped at Strawn's for some dinner...and strawberry pie.


We are headed to Florida next month...hopefully there will be no more hurricanes for Bix to see.

Bix Loves to Travel

So much so...she is off again.


Have a great weekend!

Wheeeeeeee!

Being a kid is great.

It's a Bird, It's a Plane...

It's Super-Bix!


She is here to save the day, and to celebrate our 300th post! Hooray for Super-Bix! Hip, hip, hooray.

Green Thumb

Bix is very serious about her garden.


She will be happy whether or not anything grows...it is all about the process.

Happy Birthday

What better way to celebrate than in her birthday suit. Can you believe it was 19 months ago that Bix entered the world?! Frankly, I can hardly remember a time without her.
Listen closely...that is Bix singing Happy Birthday to herself after mommy and daddy.

Visit to Shreveport

Bix had a wonderful vacation at CiCi and Pops' this weekend. So many things to do and people to see.
First on the list was Aunt KK and the "puppy".


She tried to teach Kosmo new tricks, and tempted him with some turkey.


After a big meal, it was time for lounging poolside.


Then of course there was more to eat. Bix is such a lucky girl...she gets fed by two of her great-grandmothers!


Bix is quite the extrovert. You have heard of people talking to fences...this girl was able to make friends with a statue.


Gustav did not hit quite as hard as they thought it would up here in Northern Louisiana.


There was some wind and a little rain, but Bix and Pops were able to have a good laugh over the whole thing.


Bix is ready for another trip soon. Thanks Pops and CiCi. you made this Labor Day weekend memorable for all!


We had a great time in Taos...but are fairly sure that it can't compete with a weekend full of Bix.
