today we celebrated Grandma Nora’s b’day (this is erin’s mom’s mom) otherwise know as “Gran-ga-ma” (might not be spelled that way, but its pronounced that way). it was a fun time with family and seeing grandma have a grand ole time with many of her closest & oldest friends.

you can check out this slideshow of pics from the event as well as some the older photos we had for a rolling slideshow during the party.

our little boy Brooks, turns 1 month old today. how does the Richardson family celebrate? a photo shoot of course.

Anna is a good friend of ours and offered to take photos for us after my nikon was stolen last spring. we were stoked to have her take photos, she’s a whole lot better than me as a photographer.

Brooks was quite the awake child (though this photo doesn’t show that part) for his b’day photo shoot. this made it tough to get some of those ’serene’ pics you usually see, but i suppose we already have some of those sleeping peaceful baby pics. Brooks was quite the trooper in modeling for about 2 hours with some sporadic breaks.

you can check out Anna’s blog posting with some of our photos from the photo shoot. when she’s had time to go through more of the photos we will link to those so people can order prints if they like (and i know you all want your Brooks professional print).

if you are looking for a photographer, i would highly recommend Anna.

This weekend we said a ‘bye bye’ to Nikki, Mya, and Lori (Erin’s Aunt & Cousins). They are moving back to Arizona after a 2 year stay in Nashville. We will see them again, just not as much. Cya Ladies!

It is game day week! This might be the best time of the year for Erin & myself.. or it can be the worst. We are terrible, but we love our teams and many times our highs and lows hinge on the results of the football scores. Right or wrong, a bit much or totally understandable, it makes our falls a little more interesting.

We are excited that our teams have started off with wins, might not have been the move impressive of wins, but they are wins none-the-less. University of South Carolina Gamecocks beat North Carolina State & the University of Alabama beat #7 ranked Virginia Tech.

We, my brother & I, have had this little tradition going on for a number of years that we call “Family Night.” It used to be us going out to eat with Davey (our then roommate) to watch a wrestling pay-per-view or football game. Well, Family Night continues, but not always for a wrestling match. But as you can see from this little video capture, who needs the wrestling to have a good time.
