Our weekend

Friday night, John and I celebrated our anniversary by staying home, eating meatloaf, letting Julia crawl all over us, and watching "Eastern Promises." Why is staying at home so underrated? When it comes down to it, there is no place I would rather be. By the way, the movie was entirely too ghory for me and I couldn't watch the whole thing because of the blood and gut factor.

Saturday morning, I helped to host brunch for a friend who is in my bookclub and who is having a baby soon. The brunch was held at the home of the decorator friend who I am doing some sewing for. She has a new house and it is absolutely beautiful! I posted a picture of the food table so you can see how gorgeous her dining room is.

Julia and I spent Saturday afternoon with my family who came to visit. Julia explored nature and had a great time crawling around in the grass. Saturday night, John and I went out to dinner and to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. We decided to go to Kelly's and eat crab legs which I like to do about every 2 years or so. Unfortunately, the food was just as bad as it was the last time we went 2 years ago and I have been a little "under the weather" with a cold, so I couldn't really taste the food anyway.

Sunday was a good day at home. We layed around alot because John has officially caught whatever this is that I have. Julia, on the other hand, did not lay around and provided us with the best entertainment. She is such a little livewire and is so funny. She loves to chase John around on the floor and play peek a boo. He hides behind the couch and jumps out at her. She laughs so loud! Her favorite game with me is for me to put something on my head and then pretend to sneeze and then it falls off when I "sneeze." She dies out laughing, without fail, everytime! She likes to get under things, like the table, chairs, or other furniture and enjoys crawling over our legs. I guess its just more of a challenge that way, instead of going around. As always, she is such a JOY!

Julia is still a finger sucker. She sucks the first two fingers on her left hand when she gets sleepy or when she is trying to comfort herself (like after she bumps her head). She loves to touch any fabric when she is doing it. Last night, I put her in the laundry basket with the clean laundry and she picked up a pair of John's socks and held them to her face and started sucking her fingers. She also crawled up to John while we were in the kitchen and held his jean leg in her hand by her face so she could suck her fingers! So cute, and as you can tell, she has no preference to what type of fabric she is holding.

For the first time since she was four months old, she woke up after midnight last night crying really loud. I got up and rocked her and she went right back to sleep. We think she must have had a bad dream.

This pillow is one of many sewing projects that I finished this weekend for the decorator girls that I am working with. This pillow is quite the masterpiece and I would love to have it sitting in my bedroom. What a beauty.
