Two Month Re-Cap

There's been a two month gap since our last post. Let me bring you up to speed. At the end of August, we moved out of our home in Watertown, NY. We're going to miss that place and all of the wonderful friends we made there!

We went on a vacation to southern Vermont and visited Jamaica State Park where we hiked to Hamilton Falls. Unfortunately, we set out on this six mile hike at about 5:30 p.m. so by the time we got back to our car, it was completely dark. It was so dark, Heidi and Kjersti thought they saw a ferocious beaver on the trail, but as we got closer, it turned out to be only a puddle. Good times.

We bought a crazy looking, but very functional hat for Eve in Straton, VT.

We were joined on our trip to Vermont by Cody's parents (Gary and Cheryl), Cody's brother, Chris and Heidi's mom, Elaine (behind the camera). We stayed at this awesome cabin. We had a great time!

We moved back into our townhouse in Dumfries, VA and blessed Eve our first week back to our old ward. What a long, strange trip it's been.

Conversations with Eve

13 SEP 09 - Eve: "The bouncer is one of the greatest things ever invented. I especially like "vibration" mode! Soooooo soothing."

16 SEP 09 - Eve: "The doctor gave me my shots today. I wasn't expecting that kind of pain and agony so early in my life. To make matters worse, he gave me blue band-aids instead of pink ones."

16 SEP 09 - Eve: "This is my brave face."

27 SEP 09 - Eve: "I just couldn't stand the binki anymore when I figured out I've got something much more tasty attached to my arm. My mom says I've nearly, 'mastered the left thumb, but still need some work on my right thumb'. I'm not quite sure what that means.

27 SEP 09 - Eve: "Sometimes I try to sneak my thumb in by masking the act with my right arm. My mom just thought I was being cute putting my hands up by my mouth, but there was a lot more going on she didn't know about... and I'm not talking about what was happening in my diaper."

27 SEP 09 - Eve: "Ok, my mom totally busted me in the act here. Dang it!"
