I can't think of a clever title

I've been meaning to update for a while, and I've been trying to think of some clever title to tell you all about what we've been doing, but nothing is coming to mind. So here's a short synopsis.



1. We were right about Eva teething... she was/is teething, and I think I might be going a little crazy too. She's working on #6 right now, and she gets grumpy when she's teething. Hence the reason I haven't updated in a while.



2. We took the shortest trip to California. Drove Friday, were there Saturday for a graduation and Will's 10 year HS reunion, and drove home Sunday. Fun, but crazy.



3. We cut Eva's bangs, and they're adorable. She's also started on solids, and the digestive ramifications of that change in her diet are not enjoyable.



4. We all got sick this week. I think any day now we'll start oinking. We don't know for sure that it's the H1N1 flu, but that's all the doctor said they've seen, and since the treatment for either strain is the same, they don't do the super expensive test.



5. I'm having surgery tomorrow on my wrist. I have a ganglion cyst (a pocket of fluid on a tendon or a joint) on my right wrist and it is pretty uncomfortable. I had one removed 3 years ago from the same spot (rate of recurrence after surgery is only 10%, I love being the odd 10%... I'm being sarcastic of course), and now it's back, so I'm getting it removed. I would wait, but it's not comfy, and since we've met all our deductible and max out of pocket amounts for our insurance, the surgery is free.



6. We're trying to decide what to do about med school. Things aren't going well, and it's hard to think about pouring more and more money into an endeavor we don't know the end to. We've been praying and fasting and we think we have an answer, but I'll let Will do a post about that in the near future.



Other than the above, things have been going alright. So I'll let you peruse through the cute pictures and video that follow!



This is our baby bird. She's a great eater, except she has a tendency to talk with her mouth full. By the way, a child trying to say the "B" sound can spit food EVERYWHERE!

Eva finally sleeping at 9 am the morning after we spent a night camping. We won't be trying that again any time soon, especially when she's teething. She popped out tooth #3 this day.


I love this picture of Eva, she's so happy, and you can see her cute bangs. We just cut them again yesterday... they were all the way past her eyebrows again.

We call this Eva's engagement photo. She's with Treson, who we will lovingly accept as our son-in-law after he goes on a mission, and promises to take good care of our little girl! :)

Eva-lou-who. This is post pigtail hair.


Eva the Nun. We love this bib, but sometimes it's a little hard to get off.


Eva loves her daddy!


So happy!


If you look closely, you can see her 2 bottom teeth. I still need to get a good picture of all her teeth... the problem is, now that she has teeth, she bites!


Eva and me in Grandma & Grandpa H's pool. It felt warm to the adults, but she was a little cold.

She loved it though!




Will is going to kill me when he see's I've posted this picture. It's too funny though!




This is Eva getting her first haircut. She wasn't very happy, can you tell? :)


Well... that will be the last post for a while... maybe I'll have Will post for me soon, though. I just won't be able to use my hand for a while. We'll see how things go. Wish me luck!

I can't believe how big Eva's getting! Parker will be so happy that his fiancee is looking so cute with her new hair cut! We can't wait to see you next week!

Paige said...

I'm glad it wasn't eva oinking, although she does have the most adorable cheeks ever for it if she wants to!

She really looks like a doll with those bangs. Adorable.

I've been missing your updates! It's amazing how much time one little person can take, isn't it?

She is amazingly cute. LOVE the bangs.

Nancy said...

The sad thing, Paige, is that Eva started the whole oinking thing. She got a fever and a cough, and then decided it would be nice to share with mom and dad. Thankfully, she seems to be doing better than me or Will. And thankfully for us, we can take Tamiflu. :)

I love the title you wrote...so many times I can't think of a title so I end up writing a huge sentence.

She. is. so. DARLING!! I can't get over her hair!!

I love the engagement picture. Wouldn't it be awesome if they really did get married and could use that picture in their announcement!?

Ellie said...

The little pic of "Sister Eva" makes me want to sing "How do you solve a problem like Maria?"... Love it!!!
