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.
