Little stuff
MawMaw just taught Benny to stick out his tongue.
Katie is singing "If yoi happy, no, clap yoi feet!"
Sammy is trying desperately to get out the hotel room door. Too bad mama is still in her PJs and nothing is packed. WTH was I thinking FBing until 3 a.m. (Had a couple of really nice chats, though!)
Not looking forward to packing the truck. Ugh! But I am looking forward to seeing who's at the end of today's drive!!!

Happy Birthday Kate!
3 years ago I went in for an OB check and growth scan. The doctor thought your abdomen hadn't grown since the last growth scan 4 weeks earlier, and that you were only 5 lbs at 38 weeks. She sent me to the hospital to be induced. I was supposed to pick MawMaw up at 4, but Mrs. Donna had to do it for me. About 7 hours after I got to the hospital, you arrived after only 1 & 1/4 pushes - very different than your big brother's 45 arrival after 45 minutes of pushing!!!
I was so proud of my beautiful baby girl. And I'm just as proud now of the big girl you're growing into. You're such a big helper to mama, and so good with Benny, who adores you. We all love you very much!
Here are some pictures from your third birthday, which we are spending in Louisiana with Mama's family.
MawMaw and PawPaw gave you and Sam some little chairs, and as soon as you set them up, you demanded that I take your pictures in them:
This is how big Benny was on your birthday - 3 months old and in a 9 month sized outfit!:
We took you to lunch. Mimi came too. You picked Chili's. You loved your corn on the cob, nibbled on your corndog, and shared your chocolate cake with all of us.
MawMaw and Sammy playing the menu games:
Mama (and Daddy) bought you and Sammy a Nintendo Wii today, and told you that you could only use it if you used the potty and not diapers. You both ran to the potty as soon as we got home, and used the potty all afternoon.
Tomorrow is your birthday party, and you are very excited. So excited that you won't go to sleep. Silly girl!
Love you, my darling!
-- Mama

One happy baby!
B was sooooo happy to be out of his carseat during lunch! Then he howled in protest at being strapped back in.
The bigs are watching Frosty the Snowman for the 5th time today.

The Shrinking Easter Bunny, Part II
Sunday, April 12, 2009
Happy Easter Bunny!
I try to participate in the fun without perpetuating the deception. But apparently, my kids learned about the "Easter Bunny" from Max & Ruby. Go figure...
The Easter Bunny
Well, here he brought new swimsuits & matching sun hats, beach towels, & sunglasses; a movie; a couple of books (school stuff - an easy reader and a book about the body. That cheap and sneaky Bunny!), sticker books, and a few plastic eggs with dairyless, peanutless candy in them (SweetTarts, Runts, & Nerds.)
(Note: He would have brought things with more of a religious theme, if he hadn't been taking care of kids who have been sick and/or in the hospital for the last 2 months, and been too frazzled/tired to shop for anything but groceries lately!)
So what did he bring to your house???
