Babysitting Libby

This weekend Becky's friends came into town for a visit, so we let Little Libb-O-Deaux hang out with us. While I was cooking dinner I heard Callie say, "I think Libby is too fat for her chair!" We obviously don't know how to put the bouncy chair together.

Then we decided to play dress up. . I wish we had some crawfish!!

Callie loves posing with Libby. She wants to teach her how to be a princess--but judging by the enormous bows Becky puts in her hair. . .I think she'll have that taken care of!!

Wonderful Birthday Weekend

When I came home from work on Friday, Chad had a surprise waiting for me---my sister, Julie!! It was a wonderful birthday surprise and I can't believe he kept it a secret.

The boys had their first basketball game, too. And despite the loss, I think Coach Chad and Coach Trevor did a good job!!

I got to have two wonderful nites out for my birthday, too. And I'm realizing that turning 35 makes it a little more difficult to recover!!

The new Saintsation!!

Some Sisterly Love

I love this pic of these two!!

Trying to teach me how to line dance--I was awful!!

Finally, a picture with his real smile!!

Some Ladies Nite Fun

Me and my Soul Sista'

What a great weekend! We had so much fun and I felt so relaxed--I didn't even think about work, or lesson plans, or grades. It was much needed--Thank you so much, Chad. You planned a wonderful weekend. Yes, you are GOLDEN for awhile.. . . just don't mess it up!!!!

She Did It!

I can't believe it. On Wednesday Callie came home from school announcing that she wanted her ears pierced. Apparently, a few of her friends have taken the plunge, so Callie thought she was ready. I had Chad take her because honestly I didn't want to waste a trip to the mall. Well, she did it. . .I can't believe it. For those of you who know our girl, you know that she has some MAJOR fears when it comes to her ears. But Chad said she was very brave and very intent on getting it done.

She does love her new earrings--they are little pink flowers. And she is already talking about getting the ones that 'swing.' Oh my girl . . .
