- Evelyn is always smiling! She brings such joy into our lives. She rolled over for the first time several weeks ago but now is beginning to roll over all the time. She flipped over in her crib a couple times last night and woke herself up. Nate is her absolute favorite person. She watches his every move with rapt attention.
- I am really, really enjoying not being pregnant. After I had Evelyn I felt like my old self, whom I had totally forgotten even existed, returned. I am constantly surprised at how much energy I have! Tackling projects and planning home repairs sound exciting rather than sadly overwhelming. I am incredibly thankful for my ability to be pregnant and for my babies, but I feel much better when not pregnant.
- Recently I have been craving okra and sweet potatoes. We are getting a good bit of okra from the garden, though not as much as I would like to eat every day. It is amazing roasted in the oven!! I am eating a plateful of it right now. Sweet potato fries are another food I think I could live on. Mmmm...maybe I should go make some!
- Rose is being half-leased by a lovely young girl and I am thrilled with how that is working out so far. Rose needs the extra work too!
- My dear childhood friend Kathryn visited with me for a week. I enjoyed our time together immensely. She also helped me paint our front living room, which was still white from when we moved in. The color is a peachy, orange tan that changes hues with the light. I love it! This week I have sat in there every morning, because the sun rises in front of our house, drinking my coffee.
- Nate and I laugh together all the time. I love doing silly things to make him crack up. He still does not talk much but he is growing up so fast! He can walk down the stairs without holding onto the wall. He always wants to "go" and frequently comes up and asks me, "Go? Go? Papa? Dad?" Translated, that means, "Can we please go in Dad's car to Papa and Gram's house?" Whenever we leave the house in the car, he wants to go to Papa and Grams. He knows all of the correct turns to take to get there and protests whenever we make a "wrong" turn.
- I miss Brett. Without him I never sleep well. Only 3 more nights and then he will be back! He has been in Austin for training for work since last Monday. These two-week-long trainings are miserable. Thankfully, this is the last one that he knows of in the near future.
-I have enjoyed having my sister Patience here so much. We have gotten closer and it's nice to have someone come home for dinner. Sadly she only has about 6 weeks left until she will be returning to Maryland. Sadly for me anyway. I will probably have a good cry when she leaves.
- Here I am, staying up late again because Brett is not here. It is amazing how much I can get done at night when I stay up late and am alone though! =) Ok I really am going to bed now.
