Roundup

The Bourgeois crew has been dealing with a nasty stomach bug over the past week. Little Sadie got sick on Wednesday then B and Peter got it Friday then I got it today. Unfortunately, Betsy missed her City Park Carousel birthday party. I have been planning it for months and she and I have been talking about it daily. It was too late to cancel when she got sick on Friday so we had the party anyway. It was a great party, but everyone missed the birthday girl. Marme took care of B and Peter while Sadie and I went to the party. Thank you, Marme, and thank you to the rest of the family who helped us so much yesterday! I really couldn't have done it without y'all! I got choked up when we sang 'Happy Birthday' at the party, but I wanted to get it on video to show Betsy. We told her that we had the party, but that she couldn't go because she was sick. I don't think she understands. Peter asked if she wanted a cookie, and she said "no, those are for my party!" She keeps asking why the top of her cake is here--it was so beautiful--thank you, Momma Lady and Grandpa. And she kept asking how her presents got here. She received lots of wonderful gifts, and they cheered her up a lot! We are going to take her to the Carousel next weekend and we're going to save her birthday gifts until then.

B started ballet last weekend. She loved it, and looked so cute. She was so chatty and told everyone what she had for breakfast. B had Saints Day at school last week and dressed up in a Saints cheerleading uniform and made up a cheer--Give me an S, give me a T, what does that spell? Go, LSU!!!

Seeing Sadie sick has been heartbreaking. She has been so sad. Before she got sick she started singing, "Baby, baby, baby, baby" all of the time and dances and sways her head and sometimes sings "mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy."

Pics later.
