Evie is not walking yet, but she is starting to sustain some of the toddler owies! She tried to walk her hands up the kitchen cabinets and lost her balance. She went face first into the metal handle on the cabinet door. I've never heard her scream like that before. I almost started crying myself, but I stayed strong for her. Poor Cutie Pie!Monday, September 29, 2008

Evie Update
It's been awhile since I've updated you on the little who is growing up so fast. Just in the past two weeks she has changed a lot! She is playing with Cozy everyday! I'll need to post some video of the two of them. It is too cute! They might be best friends after all. Evie is crawling all over the place! She crawls normal for the most part, but sometimes when the terrain is a little difficult she reverts back to the army crawl. She's climbing stairs, totally assisted! Mamma's not ready to let her attempt that on her own. Traversing from table to couch to chair is continual. She's getting a lot of bruises on the forehead, but nothing too major. I'll be happy when she has better body awareness. She doesn't realize how big her head is and tries to jam it in the tinniest spaces!
I'm really enjoying her more and more. Since my morning sickness is gone(Praise God!), I'm enjoying life again! I keep telling Christian this is our last child and he says, "Yeah right, let's see what you say when the new baby is 6 months old". I don't know why women romanticize being pregnant.... I guess there are some women that enjoy every bit of pregnancy, but that is not I. Okay, there are a few moments that are special...like the first ultrasound, hearing the heartbeat, and the occasional kick, but all-in-all it's exhausting and a hormonal roller coaster! If I could skip the whole pregnancy and go straight to delivery, I totally would!!!!
Well that's it for now! Hope you enjoy your weekend!
Clip of the Day

Taking Time to Remember: Sept 11th, 2001
This day will never, will never be forgotten....
I remember getting out of bed around 10:30AM on September 11th, 2001. Christian and I had moved to MN in June and we had recently returned from our Europe trip. We both worked evenings, so quite often we'd sleep in. So it was a typical morning for us. We got up. Ate breakfast. We didn't turn on the radio or TV so we had no clue what was going on.
Around 11:30 AM my mother called and started talking about the attacks like I knew what was going on. I quickly got off the phone with her, screamed for Christian and ran to the TV. He and I sat there all afternoon watching the tragedy unfold. I remember this surreal feeling that this couldn't be happening to us. What was our world going to be like from now on?
I had to go to work at the MOA later that evening and I remember thinking "Am I safe?" There was talks of the MOA being closed, but we stayed open and it was a ghost town.
I remember being glued to the TV for about two weeks straight and then finally I had to turn it off. The depression and sadness was too much to bear anymore.
Life started to move forward again, but things were very, very different. Seven years have passed and I'm so grateful another attack has not occurred like Sept 11th, but let's never forget the victims, sacrifice and valor on that day.
God Bless America!
