Your First Trip!

Hello Evie!

Another really fun first happened this weekend sweet girl! Your dad and I went down to Lake Tuscaloosa with our youth group and spent a couple days away from the city. We all had so much fun, but I don't think anyone loved the lake as much as you!

I bought a little floaty for you, not sure of what you'd think of it. We've played around in the pool before and you were always perfectly happy and content (surprise surprise), but putting you in your own float, well, we weren't sure how that would go. So why tiptoe around the issue? Kid, we popped you into a lake in a full 30+ feet of water. And guess what?

Best $14 we will probably ever spend on you. 


Love this photo of us and you. We couldn't get one of you looking anywhere but at your daddy!

 




The students loved hanging out with you all weekend. Abbi especially held you a lot, and I love this picture of you on the pontoon boat, perfectly happy and snoozing away in her arms. Every time you were in the lake they all swam around you, giving you high fives and fist bumps and seeing how tight you'd squeeze their fingers.


Just a few more cute random pics from our fun weekend...

Playing with my sunglasses Sunday morning:

Back porch sittin':


I tried to get you to nap Saturday afternoon, but you sat right up in your bassinet and laughed at me:

 

That Saturday night, you went down with a little bit of a fever (extension of the fever virus you had been fighting all week). But you also barely had a chance to nap that day, so slept for 12 hours that night, the entire 2 hour drive home, and another couple hours after we got home, and even still a little more than afternoon! Just love this picture of you zonked out in your crib after we got you home. Your teething gets you all out of sorts, but we had an Open House that afternoon and I had to get you to sleep, so I turned on the vacuum cleaner and you wriggled around in the crib until you fell asleep like this. How did you even get the blanket over your head? You silly girl.



It was such a fun weekend. We made so many sweet memories, and what's really exciting is that this is just the beginning! We have so many adventures ahead of us!
