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!

These pics are totally out of order--Blogger is trippin'.

Is that a picture of the face that she drew? If she drew that picture I think you might have a child genius or, at the very least, an artist on your hands.

Yes, it's a face. She is into drawing faces lately. Well, she may be an artist b/c it's in the genes--and of course being a genius is in the genes too! :)

I think the light saber pic may be my favorite - but they're all fantastic! Love you
