The BARK of a NEW GENERATION!

This past weekend was Louisiana Tech's homecoming so we made the trip back to Ruston to hang out with some friends and tailgate. It was great to see all our old friends from Delta Sig and to introduce Abby to everyone. She also got to meet some other new Tech babies. Abby was fabulous even though she missed her afternoon nap. It probably doesn't hurt that she loves being outside. Amy and Abby called it quits around 5:30 and headed back to Bossier (we don't mess with a sleeping babies schedule). Obviously I went to the game and stayed the entire 60 minutes (more on that later). Here are some pictures of Abby's first La Tech tailgating/Homecoming experience. Maybe I can take her to an actual game next year.

The BARK of a NEW GENERATION! Abby "winking" at me!
Abby and Amy enjoy the outdoors!
Abby even has Tech blue eyes!
Since we are on the theme of La Tech I thought I would also show off the next few pictures. The first two were taken by my carpool buddy Ben the last weekend of August and the next two (the camo pics) were taken the second weekend of September. Do you think it is obvious that I would love for her to grow up and play for the Lady Techsters?

Daddy's Little Bullodg Princess! Hmm...Wonder if that helmet would fit me?
If you dress your baby girl up in a camoflauge onesie from your alma mater - you might be a REDNECK!
If your wife agrees to take a picture with you while your baby girl is dressed up in a onesie from your alma mater - she might be a REDNECK!
If you only care about seeing Abby's pictures and not the football game, you can stop reading. The game was pretty boring for the first 3 quarters. The Bulldogs were down 21-9 with 10 minutes left in the game and our offense had not scored a touchdown in over 12 quarters. At this point, many of the fans of little faith decided to leave and go home or go to the Dawghouse. I have learned from others mistakes to never leave a game early (right Brad?). With about 7 minutes left our QB makes the worst throw of the night rolling to his left, throwing to his right. The ball gets batted up in the endzone and somehow our WR ends up with the ball. So now the score is 21-16. We stop them and get the ball back. We march down the field and score another TD. Holy cow! Two TD's is one quarter from a team that hadn't scored a TD in 12 quarters. We go for a 2 pt. conversion and fail, but the Bulldogs are ahead 22-21. Then we stop the other team on 4th down and run out the clock for a VICTORY. Maybe Abby was the good luck charm since the DAWGS are now 1-0 for her.
HOW BOUT THEM DAWGS!!!

Love the pictures and I'm glad that y'all had a good time this weekend. Amy, it was good to talk to you yesterday... let me recommend two of Dee Henderson's books... The Marriage Wish and God's Gift. They took me no time to read because I just couldn't put them down. ;-) Love ya!

I like how you wrote that we can stop reading if we only want to see Abby pics -- you know us so well!

I love the pictures! I really like the one of Abby and her little white bow. I want to get some of those for Olivia. ;) Still no progress, but I think she may actually be head down now...it's about time. :) Lots of contractions, and then lots of nothing. I'm just enjoying my time here with Lupe.

Yeah, LATech stuff is great, but where are the adorable Aggie and LSU Tiger outfits??? Maybe I'll have to get her a bow or something. :-)
