Why Dig Dug you ask  ::)  Here's how the story goes..... When Raymond my son and Everest's mom were trying to decide on his name I told them both....get my name in there somewhere and the check gets bigger  :o  Well they settled on Everest Raymond Varrieur...which is a really cool name. Now comes time for baby #2...what do I tel them, get my name in there somewhere and the check gets bigger. They settled on Athena Grace Varrieur, another really cool name.

However, Umpa and I had plans of our own and we nick named Athena Dig Doug after the famous video game from the 80's. Guess what happened? My son and his wife started referring to Athena as Dig Doug.....for the past week we've all been saying "Dig Doug's diggin out"  ;D

So in the end they get a bigger check, Athena gets a cool nick name and a ton of Dig Dug memorabilia and I finagled my name into the party! 

Check out her custom Dig Dug Whoobie  8)

You are truly blessed, my friend! :) :) :)

There is no greater gift than that of love straight from God's heart... A newborn baby!
May the Good Lord continue to bless you and yours in the coming years! :)

 ;D Doug and Umpa, I'm so happy for you!  I know grandparents love to spoil their grandkids so I'll leave you to it.  Have a ball with the youngsters.  Sending you much love.  :-*
