Savannah's Weblog

Granny Ruth greeted Savannah with a new lavendar smelling doll which Savannah named Pinkie. She got to see Papa and his white Santa beard. She had biscuits and gravy for the first time.

Savannah finally got to play with the cousins we've talked about for a while. I wasn't sure how well she remembered them. In Arkansas, she got to play with Jacob, Adam, Curtis, Erin and Jonathan. In Mississippi she got to play with Kimberly two times. They also sat beside each other at Cock of the Walk. Her older cousin Denise gave her a stuffed fat winter mouse that she sleeps with every night. He's big enough that it's like she's almost sharing a half bed with someone.

She was not very well most of the trip. She may have caught another cold during the first week. Her cough is only just subsiding. She complained of a headache the last two days of our trip, the plane ride home and a fourth day too. It seems to be gone. I believe she was exhausted because it started after a very full day of playing with Kimberly, accompanied by a fever. I felt responsible because I'd gone to a Mary Kay party, then Wal-Mart with Betty Ann. Daddy and other relatives were with her. I don't think my being there would've been much different. When little ones play hard, it's a struggle to get them to calm down long enough for a quiet time.

She asked if we could stay in Mississippi forever. But when we came home Monday night, she and Seth explored the house, with renewed interest in toys they hadn't seen in almost 17 days.
