and life goes on...

It's been a long time since we have posted a blog! Wow. Things have been quite busy. Evelyn is getting so big! She loves listening to music at night. Recently, she has been listening to Primary songs. One night, she had been in bed for about 30 minutes and Nathaniel and I had supposed she was asleep but heard this high-pitched, abrupt noise coming from her room about every 10 seconds. We put our ear to the door to hear what was going on and heard "Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam" playing in the background. Evelyn was singing to it! It was so cute! She loves to say "happy apple" (I don't know why but it's adorable how she says it) and loves to close doors. She also has been reading words like daddy, mommy, hi, clap, cat and dog on flashcards. (thanks to Dianne and Rich who bought Dr. Titzer's "Your Baby Can Read" series. It really does work!

So we recently went to visit the Dodds and had lots of fun. Evelyn and Hunter (15 months old) were so cute together! We would ask Evelyn to hug and kiss Hunter to which Hunter was very hesitant about however Evelyn was persistent enough to a point that she would grab his face with both hands and give him a big whopper.

I am 29 weeks along now with our next addition to our family. I have been feeling great. It's been fun feeling the fluttering movements in my abdomen become more prominent. Our little girl is growing fast. I gained 11 pounds from my previous visit which was 2 months ago! Woohoo!
I think a lot of that weight gain was from the Dodd's reunion. :) We went to some Brazilian buffet in Utah. Sooo good.

It's been so humid and hot though. My jeans stick to my legs, ughh! I am so a dry-heat kind of girl. I have been wearing skirts even though I feel like I am going against my Gurr upbringing but it is so much cooler!

We have pictures but they are on Nathaniel's laptop and he's in California right now for another testing trip. He's coming back tomorrow. Yeah!
