phone talking, shots, and friends

we have taken our "phone talking" to a whole new level. she actually wants to CALL people now, and gets upset when i finally take the phone away.

austin had her 18 month check up this past week.  her pediatrician said that she looked great.  i made ben go with us, because i didn't think i could stand holding her down for these shots.  i hate that job, and he hasn't been to an appointment with us since her 1st newborn check up.  bless her heart... the worst part is that she has no clue what's coming.  :(  i always feel SO bad for her.  :(  she wore the cutest outfit, but i only got a photo of her from behind while she was watching her "movie."

our good friends, mark and karen, are moving to georgia!  we had lunch with karen to tell her bye, for now!  her sister, shirley, was in town helping her pack, so she came with us. we sure are gonna miss you guys!

on friday, i got to meet the long awaited, miss eva cate!  she is such a sweet baby!  this is a preemie size sleeper, to give you an idea of her size!  she was 4lbs. 10 oz. at birth.

ok, maybe i have a little bit of baby-fever now??

her daddy, josh, is our preacher, and ben i just love him and his wife, ashlea!  we are so thankful to have our church family!  here they are, in a photo that i robbed from facebook, before eva cate was born.  isn't ashlea so gorgeous!? 

they got home from the hospital about a week and a half ago, and it was finally my turn to take them dinner friday night.  we prayed a lot for this baby, so we are so thankful that she's healthy!  here is big brother, jet, which is one of austin's buddies at church...

they were both ready to eat!  (not out of the dog bowls, ha!)
