Today at lunch, Sadie was eating half of a cheese sandwich and Josie was putting away blueberries by the dozen. Sadie said through a mouthful of bread, "Me love Daddy." I said, "You do? Who else do you love?" She said, "Me love Becky." "And who else?" "Me love Sarah." "You love Aunt Sarah? Who else do you love?" "Me love Scotty. And me love Angela. Angela like a turkey. Gobble-gobble-gobble-gobble!" I have no idea where this little insight came from, but it made me laugh. Josie is a full-fledged crawler now... she started on Thursday, and perfected her technique while we were in NC over the holiday weekend. Now she's getting fast! Sadie runs from her and says, "Don't get me, Jos-a-bean!" We had a good time over the weekend at home... the girls, as usual, get more love (and food) than they can stand. They ate livermush and bacon for breakfast every morning (courtesy of Grammie and Great Grandma). Sadie got to feed the birds ("Come and get it, birds!") and she found a little bird's egg with Grammie. She had a great time pushing around this little toy grass-seed spreader that Grammie got for her. She also dressed up in every piece of jewelry that Mama owns, and walked around saying, "Look at me! I beautiful!" Which is true. :) Josie cracked herself up looking in the full length mirror in Great Grandma's room... she thinks (and is correct) that she is just about the most beautiful baby ever to grace the planet. We rode the golf cart with Scotty and Angela, fed the baby goat with Cameron, played with Uncle Thomas and Aunt Elizabeth, Josh, and Natasha, went to a cookout with Lou, Brenda, Becky, Stephen, little Hailey, Chass, and her three wild kids (her little boy,
Dalton, took Sadie's picture down the other day and carried it through the house saying, "My Sadie, my Sadie... I love her so!"). We got to watch a video of Kimmie singing at her church, which brought me almost to tears... she looked just like her mama and me when we first starting singing long long LONG ago at church. It was so cute. Then we went out to breakfast/lunch at this cool old home-cooking place way up in the mountains with "Papaw and Mamaw." We ended up staying there for almost 4 hours.... After we ate, we all sat out on the big front porch by the little creek and listened to old-timey mountain music. The lady that was singing asked for volunteers from the audience, so of course Daddy and I ended up on the stage, singing "Blessed Redeemer" and "In the Garden." Sadie finally came up and gave a rendition of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," and her old standby "A Bushel and a Peck." It was a lot of fun. Probably the highlight of Sadie's trip (besides getting to sleep with Grammie and say, "Stop snoring, Grammie!!!") was riding with Papaw on his HUGE 
new tractor. She was so excited about it, and she's been telling everyone. Oh, and she also got to paint her toenails green, just like Mamaw. All in all, we had a good trip. I didn't even cry when we left this time... 
because we're going back in (count 'em) THREE weeks.
