Happy (Belated) Father's Day
We had a fabulous Father's Day. We started off with breakfast with Gumbo, the Carvilles, Katie, and Peter at Riccobonno's. The girls both spent the night before with Gumbo--he is a champ! Next, we went to City Park. It was REALLY hot, but we love our City Park so much. We had a late lunch with Momma Lady and Grandpa at Superior--yum!
New Bed
We bought B a big girl twin bed. She was done with her toddler bed, and she was constantly hopping in our bed because she said her bed wasn't "comfy." Here they are after spending the morning with Marme and Tim and coming home to a brand new bed. B has been sleeping really well in it after a couple of days of climbing out. I need to post pics of the bed with her precious comforter. We tried putting Sadie in B's toddler bed, but she sat up and hopped out during her whole nap so P made B's bed back into a crib. Sadie is much happier in it; she wasn't ready for a toddler bed yet.
Adventures with Sadie
Betsy spent the day with one of her classmates recently so P and I spent the day with just our little Say. We went to City Park then to lunch at R&O's. We are loving our season passes to City Park. Sadie rode the carousel twice, the rollercoaster twice (that thing is fast; we were surprised that she liked it so much), the train, and the ferris wheel. At R&O's Sadie discovered cheese fries and scraped the melted cheese from the plate (reminds me of me in my law school days at The Chimes...).

Adorable Things My Girls Are Saying
Betsy:
--She likes to ask about things "in the city." She asks me if there are any mayors, monsters, or ghosts in the city? She'll tell me that we don't have certain things "in the city."
--We put her in time out the other day and she said, "Fine, I'm moving out of here!"
--She said something and I told her that I thought she meant something else, so she said, "Silly me!" Then she said, "What does that mean, Mommy?"
--Last night she had swimming lessons and the instructor dunked her. She told, "I thought it would be really scary, but it was fun!" That's a big surprise to me.
--B likes to get out of her bed after about a half hour when Sadie has fallen asleep and come in the living room and ask me very pressing things. Example--"I know you love me (with hands up in a reassuring manner), but you didn't sing me a song, Mommy. Why?" Example 2--"What if Sadie and I become mommies? Then there will be too many mommies in the house." She likes to find excuses to get out of her bed.
--B asks me questions about Jama a lot. She asks me why she had to leave. She asks when Jesus will make her all better so she can go back to her house. She tells me that she wants Jama to come back. She asks me how Jama got to heaven and about souls. She misses her Jama, and so do I.
Sadie:
--Her speech has gotten much better since her tubes.
--I pway wit my cousin!!! (Lawson). The cutest thing on earth is when B, S, and Lawson see each other. They squeal and say each other's names then run up to each other and give huge hugs. They do it regardless of whether they have seen each other the day before or an hour before. The other night they bathed together at our house and we separated just for the ride to Jama and Pa's house. When we arrived about 20 minutes later they hugged and screamed as if they hadn't seen each in ages.
--"Baby Penny" in a loud voice and repeated about 50 times whenever she sees Penny.
--When we tell her it's time to get out of the tub or go to bed, she screams, "2 minutes!!!!!!!!!"
--When we try to help her put on her shoes or walk her down the stairs she says, "I do it mydelf!"
--If Betsy is having a meltdown Sadie loves to say, "I not crying, Mommy!" Then she follows it up with "Betsy is a big baby!"

Here are some pics of the fam at Salvo's in Plaquemines Parish. Sadie was glued to Peter A. Sorry, Peter!
Betsy's Big Fishing Trip and My Day with Say
Gumbo, Peter, and Betsy went fishing a few weeks ago. Betsy had a blast and from what I hear she was quite the bait girl. She scooped up the shrimp and brought them to the guys. She was a little trooper according to Gumbo and Peter. Unfortunately there are no photos of Gumbo, because he was the photographer.
While B and P were fishing Sadie and I had a full day--breakfast at PJ's, fabric shopping, Father's Day gift buying, etc. She was a trooper too!
Betsy's First Fish!
Love that Barq's Cream Soda!

Quick Update
Camp is going well. Swimming lessons started, and after two lessons where Sadie was hysterical we are switching from semi-private lessons at JCC to private lessons for just B. They both love the baby pool and I think we'll spend a lot of time out there. B and I have had tummy issues lately. Pics later!
