last stop: New Beginnings

Hi Friends,

How was your weekend?

This was our LAST weekend before Mommy returns to work after maternity leave (TODAY).  Dread, she says!  If you are a working Mom ... how did you feel after maternity leave?  This time is much worse she said (well probably because she's been having so much fun with me and Sissy!!!) ... for various reasons.  But we won't go into all that (at least not right now).  We (Sadie and I) wish we could be with Mommy on Monday, and Tuesday, and Wednesday ... etc and don't worry - we will fill you in on KLG and Hoda after school.

So this week on our blog it is mostly about some new beginnings ... what new beginnings are you looking forward to (or in our case - dreading) this week?  This year?

And as far as what we did this weekend ... nothing TOO out of the ordinary except Daddy and Mimi completed the Chevron Houston 1/2 Marathon on Sunday - CONGRATS!  We are very proud of you! I've been working on my running skills too - so I may be there soon.

Saturday we spent some time with Gramby and Pops (they helped us with things around the house, and we went to Ikea.  Mommy's least favorite place!).  And Sunday was the Chevron Marathon and the last Texan's game ... sigh - until next year.  We weren't able to go to the Chevron Marathon to cheer on Daddy and Mimi this year because the weather was too bad.

But we will leave you with a few fun photos from this weekend ... the first one is of us (me and Sadie) with new blankets from Gramby's friend K - aren't they awesome??  Thank you!  She also sent me a monkey.  And the second photo is of Daddy after his 1/2 marathon - sleepy much?  Caillou was sleepy too.

Mommy says: How can I POSSIBLY leave these adorable babies?  I say, umm I am not a baby, Mommy.

Congrats, Daddy!
