It's been a while since I wrote last! Time seems to escape me a little over the past two weeks. On the one hand I look back and think: "Evie and I do the same basic things every day...where did all the time go?" Then again, a little baby is a lot to take care of and the time slips right past and the next thing I know it's time for bed each day! Lots of visitors in the last few weeks- from school and from family. The first week without Chris home went pretty well, but I also had one visitor nearly each day for a couple hours, which was nice. Last Saturday night Sylvia (Grandma) came into town for a few days. We had a great time with her! Monday of last week Grandma, Evie, and I drove in to meet Chris for lunch. Afterward, we followed him to work and he paraded Evelyn around like a true proud papa. There is something about a daddy who is that in love with his little girl that makes me smile. On Tuesday afternoon my brother and sister-in-law came through Raleigh for a few hours before heading to Virginia to pick up my nephew from college. Although the visit was way too short, it was really great to see them and be able to introduce Evelyn to her aunt and uncle. My brother was talking to Evie right away and we snapped some pictures of him holding her. Tuesday night we took Sylvia out for an early Mother's Day dinner and Evelyn continued to prove she is a laid back baby. She slept through the entire dinner!
Wednesday we took Sylvia back to the airport and said our goodbyes. Christmas is the next time she'll be out here and I know it will be unbelievable how much Evie will have grown! The rest of the week I spent trying to catch up on some laundry and rest up for the next round of family. Last night it was Lockhart Family Central over here. Great-Grandma, Uncle Joe, Aunt Janet, Cousin Doris, and Aunt Patti all were in town. Joe and Janet are here until later this afternoon and Patti leaves this afternoon as well. But Great Grandma and Doris are in Raleigh for the week and Bill (Grandpa) arrived late last night and will also be here for a week. Today, for Mother's Day, everyone is coming back over to grill out and hang out with the baby. My mom is coming over too. The weather is supposed to be pleasant (only 80 degrees!) and it should make for a nice day.
It's hard to believe, but Evelyn is one month old today! Looking at the pictures from her first days to now boggles the mind! She already seems like she has gotten so big! Friday is her one month appointment at the doctor and I am sure I will update again then. In the mean time, here are some more recent pictures:
