9 Years and Mother's Day

Last week was pretty special as we celebrated our 9 year anniversary! I met Justin downtown for an evening out (rare these days) - we went to the Red Lion, a British Pub, for drinks and then to Houston's for dinner. Houston's was our favorite place to eat in Atlanta and they are on every corner there, but here there are only 2 and they are both "in town." It was a nice distraction from the every day and I am grateful for 9 wonderful years - Love You Lu!

Mother's Day weekend was nice too - Justin had a conference at the church Friday night and Saturday so Jules and I camped out at Mimi and Papa's to spend time with pregnant Jenny and Ryan as well as Aunt Lauren. Julianne played her heart out with everyone and for the first time ever was modest with being nude....after her bath Friday night she told Uncle Ryan that she was naked and he could not see her and she slunk away with the towel wrapped tightly around her (whereas at Christmas she ran around Ryan and Jenny's house with wild adondon naked as a jay bird). I guess she is growing up. We met up with Dad (finally) for dinner that night. On Mother's Day we went to church and lunch, the 3 of us and to one of the pools that opened up. It was a very nice weekend and I think we both feel refreshed and rejuvenated.

We have speaker at the church on Thursday night (a man with no limbs who travels the world inspiring people and who couldn't need some inspiration during these times???) and Supper Club on Friday Night at the Chappells new house, so should be fun. Next weekend we head for the Burg! Time is flying!

A few cute things:

*Justin and I were having one of many serious discussions we have had lately and Julianne yelled, "GUYS....stop argu-menting!"

*Yesterday we were on a walk and we told her she could not take a gazillion ponies with her and she said, "GUYS....I am fruster-bated."

*She tries to negotiate with us and will ask, "Is that a deal?"

*She is terrified of the smoke detector on her ceiling - it has a green light and she tells me it is a green eyed monster.
