Busy Week

Betsy was still fussy on Tuesday when we walked in the Park (she cried nearly the whole time) and then when we went to the NOCC to swim with Andrea and Evelyn. She said "swimmin in da pool" the whole way there, but would not get in the pool once we got there. She hoarded all of the kids' toys and cried whenever anyone approached her because she was afraid they would take the toys. Luckily Sadie slept most of the time so I could hold B on my lap and listen to her sniffle and cry. On Tuesday night Peter and I planned to go to a movie, but our electricity was out for a couple of hours and we didn't want Marme to have to hang out over here in the hot house.

On Wednesday we played at Krista's. B, Lauren, and Ryan play so hard and they completely destroyed Krista's house. B gets so excited when we pull up to Krista's house and says, "KISS! KISS!!!" On Wednesday night Gumbo brought B to Jama's for dinner and Marme watched Sadie Boo while P and I went to see 'The Dark Knight'--it was really, really good. It totally lived up to the hype.

This morning P took B to see Dr. Warren. She no longer has to wear her air cast. Her leg looks OK. Dr. W believes that it will straighten out more as she continues to walk on it. We hope so. I took the girls to the Children's Museum to meet Evelyn and Karen and their kiddos. B absolutely loved it. We really need to go there more often.

Sadie is such a content, laid back baby. She goes with the flow and generally sleeps or quietly observes when we are out and about. She is so sweet and sleeps well and rarely fusses. I am so thankful!

This afternoon Sadie pulled B's hair and B gently pushed her hand away and said, "No, Betsy no like it." Tonight I was in the kitchen making dinner (a veggie extravaganza that B did not like) and Sadie was in her bouncy chair. Betsy walked up to her and covered her legs with a blanket. It was so sweet--my eyes welled up with tears.

Here are a few more pics from the photo session:
