I went to Richfield, UT, Marci and Alex's historic home, this weekend to see my new niece, Eva (pronounced ee-va). She is adorable, of course, as most babies are. But it reminded me that I don't want to have a baby anytime soon. I was glad to help Marci get some sleep as I felt the pain of sleep deprivation all over again. Eva is one of those "sleep on the mommy's chest" babies. She won't sleep easily anywhere else, at least, not yet. But I was able to help Marci by cleaning, taking care of Olivia, her oldest (by letting her play w/Samuel and boss Joc around :) and bathing and curling her hair too), and cooking. And I was able to stay up till 2 am talking w/my mom which was great. And I got to hold the little Eva and kiss her head while she slept on my chest. BUT I didn't realize I was sick at the time and hope I did not infect her!!!!
Here are some pics from the weekend! The kids did not get much sleep that weekend, as you can tell! But they loved it!
Olivie and Eva
And here is the new sleepy mom and Jocelyn guarding the babies door.
Don't forget to read the one below too.
I love that cute little house, and the cuter little baby. I'm sorry you're feeling sick Hannah! Give yourself an excuse to slack off, and you'll be back to your usual self in no time.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Alex and Marci. They don't have a blog do they? Man, their house is so cute! Todd would die for it. He loves stuff like that. About my mission reunion, no, Brandon wasn't there with me. I told you, we definitely don't have a perfect marriage. :) I had to go alone. He did have a good excuse (cold sores and peeling from Florida), but I thought he could have sacrificed and come with me anyway since I'd been planning on it for TWO years. :(
ReplyDeleteHow fun to visit Alex and his wife! Their house looks so cute! What is Alex doing for work in Richfield? I hope you are feeling better. I hate being sick too, especially with our littles! They just don't understand why mommy is just sitting on the couch and not playing!
ReplyDeleteOh what a beautiful house...my heart aches that I will probably never have one! How fun for Alex and Marci to have another little buddle of joy! They grow up way too fast but I am there with you...not craving another one for awhile! Hope you feel better soon...also loved your grateful blog entry...will have to do that soon!
ReplyDeleteWow, Alex has 3 little girls! He has a beautiful family (and a cute house!) How are you? Are you feeling better? I hope so! Talk to you soon!
ReplyDeleteI love that house! So cute! Cute baby too. Thanks for all your nice comments on my blog. It's nice to hear words of encouragement from another mother in a similar position in life as myself. I hope all is going well for you today.
ReplyDeleteI love Richfield, I have some family that lives there. What fun! That's a way cute house! It looks like you had a great time!
ReplyDeleteOh, what a beautiful house! I bet they get that a lot. I can't believe Olivia is so big! Granted the last time I saw her was years ago, but still. I'm glad you had a good time.
