'Exceeding Expectations': Graham's First Flights


  Well I must admit:  Jason and I didn't know what to expect going into Sunday's extended flight back to Brazil with Graham.  Surprisingly little Graham-Graham did quite well during the 10-hour flight--'Exceeding Expectations' (Ensco's motto) of flying with an infant.  He slept the whole leg from New Orleans to Houston and again from Houston to Rio, waking only to feed and change in his diaper.  And he had plenty of admirers along the way! 

  Jason and I would be reminisced if we didn't share our sincere gratification to the Brazilian customs and immigrations officials for the accommodations and courtesies extended to us at the Rio airport.  Instead of waiting in lines, which zig-zagged for what seemed like miles,  officials gave us  preference because we were traveling with an infant, a courtesy we immensely appreciated!



Saying goodbye to Nanny C.  Hopefully she will come visit us??
One last family photo after checking-in our luggage and getting our flights squared away.
Graham's first flight!
He wasn't too interested in the sights...preferring too snooze and snore, I might add!

Before loading up in the van for the three-hour drive to Macae, our driver was holding this Ensco sign, 'Exceeding Expectations' as we walked out of customs.

This photo isn't the best, but we were glad to finally be in Macae!

My Little Sister Went To The Chapel...And Got Married!

I am a few months behind on this post, but the pictures from my sister's wedding are just too pretty not to post.  We celebrated Carolyn and Jerrard's wedding on November 25 (yes, the day after Thanksgiving), and I know I am partial, but my sister was the most stunning bride I have ever witnessed!  So here are a few shots from wedding festivities.  Congrats CC and Parfait!

  Brazil Update:  Jason went back to Brazil two weeks ago and I am headed that way this weekend.  We will both journey back to Louisiana during Mardi Gras to move into our newly purchased home in Thibodaux and ready it for Baby Nuge.  I will stay state-side and Jason will only get to stay the week and then is hoping to return back home some time in mid-April before the baby is born.  That is--if Baby Nuge makes his/her appearance when we anticipate :-)
