Maisy's Weekend

The weekend we got back from Vegas we had Jesse and his family drive down for Maisy's blessing.

We went downtown to the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum for their free first Saturday to get a little lone star love.

Weather was gorgeous so we headed to the park while Jesse took Deborah out for a birthday lunch. Actually, Jamie's a saint and he took the kids down while I stayed back to work on the birthday dinner and cake. I joined them much later with a picnic lunch and found them dancing on the table to entertain themselves and divert their minds from their rumbling tummies waiting for me. Don't they look happy together though? I love that these guys live close and love being together. Thanks Jesse and Deborah for having babies the same time as us and always making time to get together. What fun times we've had and fond memories for everyone. As Andrew would say, "I just love these guys, they're awesome!" It's sweet to see how attached he is to every member of their family. Even Deborah who tries to claim a part-time membership in the "mean mama club" (I have a full time pass) and tries to give extra attention and sympathy to the middling children was off laughing and snuggling with Ender Boy. And the only fights are over Emma (well, and Weston getting up in James' business- poor middle child so desperate for attention he enjoys making a 4-yr-old mad at him).

The scooter posse. We weren't the only ones who got new scooters from Nana. My neighbors probably got a little nervous when they saw all the wheeled people out terrorizing the neighborhood, especially the grown man on the Barbie scooter. That's snarky.

And of course a lot of Maisy loving going on. Jesse had a hard time sharing but she made the rounds.

And the thing my kids were most excited to do with Maisy- put her in the stuffed animal box. Highlight of their week. Poor Maisy what a strange week for her. She's so sweet though.
