A Lot Can Happen In Two Weeks

Greetings loyal blog followers! I apologize for my recent absence. You’ll understand my brief hiatus when you read my update below.  I’m hoping that after I recap the last couple of weeks I’ll get back in the habit of at least updating this blog once a week.  Currently I am sitting in my mom and dad’s RV at Texas Motor Speedway. I’ve got the monitor on while Evie is sleeping in our RV next door. Emily and Mom are at the Garage Party at the track. Dad and Stephen have run out to get more bottled water and some fountain sodas. They just taste so much better from a fountain. Don’t you agree?

The last update I posted was Evie’s 8 month update. Since then her bottom left tooth is completely through the gums. Her bottom right is just beginning to come up. She battled an intense runny nose for almost two weeks while that tooth made its’ way through. In hindsight, I now know what Evie is like when she is teething. She gets a very runny nose. Her snot is clear and constantly running. Her diaper production gets rather… explosive. She also requires a little more snuggling. Frozen fruit and washcloths are a big hit! Evie also began crawling! She rarely uses rolling as a mode of transportation any more.

Since the last update, Stephen and I are considering relocation to Denver, CO. His work recently opened an office there. He has spoken with his boss about the position that will become available there. We are awaiting a relocation package to be put together by his company. If it is a nice package then there is a big chance we’ll take it. It’s exciting and terrifying to think that we may be living outside of Texas. We’ve both lived here our whole lives, but have always talked about moving out of state.

Aside from catching Evie’s snot and contemplating a move, the past two weeks have been pretty calm. ;-) We’re currently at Texas Motor Speedway for the NASCAR races. Evie is a pretty good camper, but it can be hard for her to get good naps with the constant flow of people, trucks, and other noisy things. She also is thrown with the time change. She woke up at 6:15 and then she was exhausted before this nap. 40 minutes later she’s up and ready to play. Le sigh. I’m headed to the track in a couple of hours, so she’ll be Stephen’s mess this afternoon.

Well, I’m off to do the whole Mother thing.
