Weekend Roundup

The Bourgeois family is feeling better today--yay! And Gumbo is back home--welcome back!!!On Friday morning Katie came over to visit then Attie and Lawson came over in the afternoon. B was in heaven. After Peter came home from work he and B went on a mission (this is what B calls it now whenever we go anywhere now) to find boiled crabs. Betsy loves crabs and Peter thinks she ate about 5 crabs by herself. P and I watched the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics and we've been watching pretty much all weekend. I forgot how much of an Olympics nerd I become during the Summer Olympics. On Saturday morning Grandpa picked B up to spend the weekend in Vacherie. Momma Lady picked up Charlie so the kids got to spend a whole weekend together. They did tons of fun stuff: B saw her first movie (Space Chimps--M.L. said she was mesmerized and very good), they ate lunch at Raising Cane's, they fed the ducks in Thibodaux, they rode the new motorized Jeep, they had a pizza picnic then had a slumber party in the living room. Today they visited Grandma Agnes and had another picnic. Sounds like a wonderful weekend! B had so much fun! Peter and I went to lunch at Sake Cafe; it was so weird just having Sadie with us. Then we went to see Peter A's house on Washington that he's been renovating--he has done an excellent job. Later in the afternoon I helped Katie A. and Erin O. register at Babies R Us. I was exhausted afterwards and not feeling so hot. Little Sadie was congested too so Peter went to his end of summer work party solo. Sadie and I watched Olympic swimming and went to bed early. It was so quiet around here with Betsy gone.

This morning my sisters, Mom, Dad, and I went to a mass at St. Catherine in honor of our friend, Tara Stoulig Monistere, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She is such a beautiful, smart, kind, hilarious, wonderful woman/wife/daughter/sister/friend, and the doting mother of a precious one year old girl, Lee Catherine. After mass we went to Miss Deanie's house and visited with the Stoulig clan. It was so great to see them and giggle with the Stoulig sisters about old times. They are all in such good spirits and Tara's strength is truly admirable. Please keep Tara and her family in your prayers. We have no doubt that she will do great!!!

B arrived home this afternoon. We missed our little girl! Gumbo picked her up and took her to Bee's then to Camp Pleasant to swim. B had such an action packed weekend. She is sound asleep and P and I are watching the Olympics while Sadie lies on her playmat cooing away.

Here are some of the photos from our photo session with Sam Scheel Smith of Sweet Light Studios. We decided to buy the DVD of the photos, because they turned out so cute. So, we have Sam's permission to post these!

***I've tried to upload these pics three times and I can't do it. My computer is acting crazy. I'll try again tomorrow.
