Our Family

We rented our house. YEA! The family wanted to move in ASAP so with God's provision and strength...my mom found a home several blocks from my sister in Carrollton. We got her all moved in and then the movers came and packed all of our stuff and took it to the DC area to store it. While the movers loaded all our stuff, my dad (huge thanks) supervised and Evey and I flew to Michigan to meet James and hang out for July 4th. Pictures coming soon. Needless to say, I was exhausted. I literally have no idea how I got through other than God's grace and strength. Evey and I are staying with my mom in Carrollton till James can find us a place and childcare. I am LOVING living in Carrollton...family closer, friends closer, church closer. Great location. Evey was here with me all last week because Mary's was closed. It was really nice to have her here. I worked while she napped and we just hung out. Wonderful.

Sorry this is so late...Month 11 recap

Last weekend, Evey and I ventured out to Galveston to visit James's dad's family. It was a wonderful trip. Evey had a great time playing, looking at fish and (her favorite) feeding the sea gulls with GrandBob. We had our first MCAD incident. Thursday night Evey threw up a couple of times...didn't want anything so popcicle seemed to work to keep her blood sugar up. Then Friday she was feeling yucky. Saturday she seemed fine, but Sunday she woke up with blood sugar of 32 (should be 70-100)...not good very scary. She drank straight apple juice and then had her bottle so she ended up being fine. I guess it was pretty mild for her first episode so it was a good learning experience. Apparently, when there body is depleated from being really sick then you need to feed them more often for several days and I didn't know that. She is fine no damage so we are okay. Then to top it off...Tuesday she had teeth break through. I'll get pictures as soon as I can see them good with the camera.

Evey and I went to DC for Memorial weekend to visit James. We had a wonderful time, doing nothing. We stayed at my cousin's place in Old Town Alexandria. There are lots of shops and restaurants within walking distance to their place. We basically just walked for 3 days. Evey loved being in her stroller and people watching...the weather was pleasant. It was perfect. Here are a couple pictures of our trip.

Here are some videos of swim class...

Before James left for work, we got some family photos done with Leah Cook of Life's Little Images. Leah was awesome, very affordable and the best part is she gives you the files so you can print as many pictures as you want. Here are some of the pictures.

I got her on video last night crawling and pulling up on the table.

It is official. Evey can crawl now. I picked her up from Mary's yesterday and she crawled over to me. Very exciting. Now her version of crawling is a little different...maybe like a 1/2 bear crawl crawl...her left leg is bent sideways and the right leg is extended where she pushes off with her foot. It is very cute. I guess after Grandpa Janisse worked with her this weekend, something clicked yesterday. I put her on the floor to try to get some video last night. She crawled right over to the coffee table, put her hands on the bottom shelf, pulled up a little, then moved her hands to the top of the table and pulled her self right up with no help. What a big girl! Here is a little video.

Despite James being gone. I had a wonderful first Mother's Day (weekend), just hanging out with family. Tim and Leanna drove up. Saturday night we all went over to Flay and Brenda's for a wonderful meal and fellowship.Sunday Johnny and Christanne took us to a beautiful Mother's Day brunch at Brookhaven Country Club. Food was great and Evey was wonderful as usual. She tried fresh Blueberries for the first time...yum.
