Passing Time

It sure has been nice to have all this free time during the summer to finish getting ready for Evie. I am SO thankful that I am not working right now. At the beginning of summer I was in a hurry to get everything taken care of and checked off my long list of things to do. Well, I've finished the checklist, and now I am trying to devise ways to pass time. I try to plan one outing a day so I can get out of the house. Last week when Judd was in South Africa, I went to Jillian's 8th birthday party at the Brookhaven Pool. At 6:00pm it was still a stifling 100 degrees! We all quickly devoured hamburgers and hot dogs, opened presents, and ate cupcakes. Then we all made a mad dash to the pools. While I was there I had a little practice baby time holding Asher. He's so cute and growing so fast! He's going to tower over Evie.

This week I started a major project I wanted to get finished before Evie arrives. I sewed her a baby blanket to use on the floor during tummy time. It took me two days to make it. Now I just need my mom to hand stitch a couple of inches, because I stink at hand stitching. Maybe one day I will graduate from sewing blankets and make a Halloween costume or something fun like that! I'm already brainstorming ideas for Halloween. Evie and Asher can have costumes that go together like....Bam Bam and Pebbles or Fred and Wilma Flinestone???? Hmmmm.....don't know yet.
