You're My Best Friend Forever and After
That's what Betsy said to Sadie tonight before she went to bed. I think she was combining "forever and ever" and "happily ever after." It was the sweetest thing I've ever heard her say. After she said it she patted Sadie on the head and said, "she's so cute."
Last Wednesday we celebrated Lawson's bday again with pizza and cake. Lawson has become a huge cake fan, just like her cousin Betsy. On Thursday we went to Gumbo's office to have our teeth cleaned. B was not happy, but once she was finished she was all smiles. In the afternoon we met playgroup at a park. It has been so wonderful outside, and Thursday evening it was so nice that we stayed at the park till 6:30 then the girls and I picked up dinner at Whole Foods; P was at a crawfish boil. On Friday Attie and I strolled with the babies to PJ's. The babies really love their muffins. Gumbo stopped by after work and took the girls to feed the ducks. On Friday night we ordered from Kyoto, and B was excited about her "squish" (squid) salad, and she's getting pretty good at using chopsticks. Tonight she ate the last of her squid, and after I gave it to her she said, "Mommy, I need chopsticks!" Oh, brother.
Poor B has a little cold; I hope Sadie doesn't get it. B was up a lot Friday night, but she partied it up over the weekend. On Saturday B and I got our hair cut at Charlotte's. B has a precious bob, and I got some more layers. P took the kids to the park while I went to get a manicure and pedicure. On Saturday afternoon we went to a crawfish boil at Tim and Jane's house in BR. We got to visit with Hal, the Stones, and Judson, Gina, and precious little Campbell whom we had never met. B loved playing with Camille and Andrew, and Sadie loved watched them play. This morning P took the girls to the Zoo; I stayed home because my allergies were outrageous. This season is really bad for me. Gumbo and Bee came by this afternoon; Bee just got back from Asia last night--we missed her! Attie and I did a couple of errands this evening, and now the girls are in bed and I'm about to go to bed. Pics later!

Happy Birthday, Lawson!
Happy Birthday to my adorable, smart, sweet niece! She is like a sister to my girls and when I see her and she reaches up her arms to me it makes me feel so good. Love you, Lawsy Boo!!!
We celebrated Lawsy's birthday last night at Jama and Pa's house with gumbo and a yummy cake. This morning Sadie and I stopped by to see her and she and Sadie climbed all over each other and played and had a good ole time.
Yesterday we met up with Cab, Will, and Ferriday Rose at the Aquarium then we went to Maspero's for lunch. We had so much fun hanging out with them; it had been way too long!

Weekend Roundup
Marme is doing better, but not great. We went over nearly every day last week, and she is just ready to feel like her old self again. Betsy had missed Marme so much, and said, "Marme is in da hospital. Tim is taking care of her" every day, and she would have the saddest little expression on her face when she said it.
Sadie said her first word last week------baby. She says it over and over again--very cute. I guess she says it because I call her 'baby' all day long. She can stand for several seconds on her own. She is 10.5 months old already. Wow.
Betsy had her second nightmare last week, and woke up screaming and told Peter that "Clifford the dog was chasing me." I guess they read Clifford books at school, because she watched the show once about a year ago here.
Last Tuesday we went to dinner at Jama and Pa's. Sadie loved being passed around--as long as she could see her Mama. This weekend was pretty gross so we mostly stayed home. On Friday night we went to eat at Serrano's, and Sadie ate everything in sight. Sadie eats waaaaay more than B. On Saturday we missed Jessie's St. Patrick's Day party, and we were totally bummed. It was just so rainy, and I didn't want the girls to get sick. We ended up eating Guy's poboys and hanging out downstairs. We hung out downstairs a lot yesterday too. I am so happy we have that space, and I'm so thankful to all of the folks who helped make it happen. Yesterday we went to Sam's then Gumbo took B and Lawson to the Zoo in the afternoon (S was asleep).
This morning Sadie and I walked in the Park. It was overcast and damp, but no rain. I hear the rain right now though and I have to leave in a bit to pick up B. Sadie has been asleep for an hour. We think she had a nightmare last night, because she woke up screaming and then kept nodding off, but would wake up screaming. We were up with her for over an hour so I hope she takes a good nap this afternoon, because Mama is tired.
Happy Early Birthday to my precious niece, Lawson!!! I can't believe you are already a year old, my boo. I love you so much.
Here are some pics. B and I made St. Patrick's Day cookies last week. She thinks St. Patrick's Day is her cousin Patrick's birthday, and I think she's confused about it since she just went to his birthday party a few weeks ago.

It's Been a While
I was such a good blogger for a few days there, but then things got crazy as usual.
I am happy to report that after an anxiety-filled week, Marme is home from 7 days at Baptist Hospital. She is so tough and is on the road to recovery. We are so thankful that she is doing better.
Our Mardi Gras season was great--highlights include: spending lots of time with the Carvilles and the Vaicius clan, celebrating Lawsy's birthday, lots of walking with our awesome Baby Jogger double, catching a bead from Joan Rivers at Orpheus, and watching the girls get so excited at every parade. It was tough getting back into the swing of things, but we're back on track. B went to Vacherie a couple of weeks ago and had a blast. Sadie got taken to breakfast and dinner and slept for 11 hours straight--wow!!! Momma Lady, Grandpa, Charlie, B, S, P, and I went to the Aquarium and had lunch at Theo's. Last week we went to Nacho Mama's to celebrate Gumbo's birthday again--he's had lots of parties this year! This past weekend M.L. came in to watch the girls while I was at the hospital. Thanks, Momma Lady! On Sunday we went to Lauren's birthday party at the Roller Coaster at City Park. B rode it twice--and it goes really fast! I'm loving daylight savings time. We hung out in the backyard this evening and dreamed up plans for our backyard.
What-nots:
-Not sure if I reported this, but whenever I say something B doesn't want to hear she says, "Mommy, you tellin jokes" or "Mommy, you jokin' around."
-B successfully used chopsticks at Hana and Sadie had her first doughnut
-Sadie is eating everything (she has tried squid salad and paella lately) and standing and cruising and dancing.
-S's sleeping is getting better, but she still slips up. Last night B was up for hours, and S woke up twice. I think the whole daylight savings time thing screwed things up for B. I have no excuse for S.
-B drew a picture of a face the other day.
-B sings a lot.
-S loves Cheerios and sippy cups filled with water.
Happy Anniversary, Attie and Beau!
Happy Birthday, Lauren!
