Dairy Queen is dee-licious!
Happy Mother's Day to me! :)
A great picture of Lee and Sullivan at Furman.
Fun at Furman.
Visiting our best buddies, Blake and Dane Hollenbeck, at the Saturday Market. !Arriba, abajo! Up, down! Sullivan's new words (she's been repeating them in both languages in a sequence today...thanks to a song from Dora...) articulate where she is these days and all that has been going on in our lives. Ups and downs! Thankfully, we are truly more on the "up and up" these days, but I thought it quite ironic that she was singing this continually today as she seems to go from happy to sad, giddy to frustrated or grumpy to delighted in about 5 seconds flat. Is she a teenager already??? Sometimes I feel like I am tending to a small crazy person! Ha! Patience and more patience is my prayer these days.
Graciously, we had a really memorable weekend with very few fits of her many personalities :), and we were able to enjoy some fantastic family time and celebrate Mother's Day in true form. We stayed in Friday night with pizza, then on Saturday we strolled through our beloved Farmer's Market downtown, hit Artisphere (our local art festival) and listened to great music and savored tasty treats, then after naps (yes, I need one too these days! :) ) we walked Furman as they were finishing graduation! and even ate out at the Dairy Queen. Can anything beat a blizzard!? Wow. On Sunday, mass was wonderful and then we tried a new Meat-n-Three place, recommended by my friend Danielle (Thanks, girl!), called Fried Green Tomatoes. Yum! Having Lee home all weekend is such a gift and we really drank it all in...
I hope that you are well!

Catie,
We love the pics. We are here in Munich and it sure was good to see Sullivan. Love, mom and dad
Yes, the pics are very nice indeed, and I am happy to hear that Sullivan's Spanish and English are doing well. Yeah, the young ones these days act like teenagers, and that's really a good thing when you think about it. I love fried tomatoes. There is a reataurant in town here that is really out of site. I think it's called in English: Fire on the Grill. Maybe you can translate it. 1st word starts with F, and the 2nd with an C. It's Brazilian and they have a chain around the country. God bless you as you enjoy the rest of the week and the weekend.
I'm so glad that you guys had a great weekend. And so happy you liked Fried Green Tomatoes!
Catie, LOVE your blog and your precious fam. Sullivan is precious. Glad you had a Happy Mother's Day with Lee home all weekend:) Will y'all be home any in July? We'd love to see you when we are home from July 9-July 21.
SO glad your pregnancy is going so well!
