Wednesday afternoon we met up with Mark's childhood friends and went to lunch at Johnny's Pizza - a delicious pizza place. We met with Pete, Dave and Cara ( they have one son, Grady) and Geoff and Robin (they have three kids, two girls and one boy, but the grandparents were watching them that day). Unfortunately Toots was not having any of it. She was overwhelmed by her new surroundings, the Monroe house, all the new peeps, new restaurant, etc. She really didn't nap that morning, if you count 30 minutes as one. So she wasn't in the greatest of moods. And boy did she let us know it. Luckily, we were able to get our pizza and salad, and trade off, and thank goodness for Robin, she held Lilly (that's her in the picture with Lilly) and bounced her, and tried to calm her as we wolfed down our lunch (which is something nutritionists would be angry with us! but its a necessity!). But she kept getting angrier and angrier. And tireder and tireder. We changed her diaper. Still unhappy. Tried to feed her. Still crying. So I took her outside and walked her around. We did this for the rest of lunch (got me away from the pizza, a good thing, I probably would have put 2 more slices away!) and she calmed down a bit. But really she needed rest. So while she got many compliments on her outfit and looks, she definitely wasn't winning anyone over with her cries. But hey, she was tired, in a new place and just overwhelmed. Unfortunately for us, a theme that would take us through the rest of the weekend. But the pizza and company was great. Can't beat Johnny's - they've got one opened in Baton Rouge. Just waiting for New Orleans now.
