I was told that I must post pictures of Eva's birthday.  I would of done it earlier but the internet hasn't been working for the past few days.  For her birthday I made some vegan cupcakes for her.  They didn't turn out quite so well.  They were okay but not great.  It was very sad.  But she really liked them and that is all that matters.  I am a ( Read more... )

I feel so awful today.  I think that I have mastitis.  For the past few nights I decided to try and get Eva to sleep by herself.  When I woke up I felt so terrible.  I am sore, I have a slight fever, my body aches, I am exhausted.  So last night she was back in bed with me.  I have a doctors appointment later today.  The office isn't that far of a ( Read more... )

Nothing much is really going on.  Eva is getting bigger and exploring more.  She is finally getting better at sitting.  She sucks at it because she is constantly moving, climbing, and making a mess.  She loves pulling her self up to the table then throwing everything off and onto the floor.  She is a very strange baby.  She likes to click at people ( Read more... )

Last night we went to Charleston for a bit.  We had Thai food and as usual Eva kept trying to grab my food.  So I decided to let her eat plain rice.  Then we went shopping and James bought me happy Kurt Halsey art.  I love it.
And Rachael asked for pictures.
So....

A little over a week ago I was standing in the kitchen and I looked over to see Eva holding on to the dish washer and standing up.  I can not believe she is already pulling herself up.

This past weekend was the best weekend I have had.  Nicholas came to visit and I loved seeing him.  I have so much fun with him.  While he was here I got to see a lot more of Charleston and what is around the base.  Well I have decided that unless I am going to Charleston I would just rather stay on the base.  The surrounding area is awful!  But at ( Read more... )

Some days here are good and some are horrible.  I think I am just really bored.  And I don't feel like I am moving forward with my life.  I don't really have anything I am working towards right now and that kills me.  Whenever someone asks me what I have been up to the only answer I have revolves around Eva.  And that is a huge important part of my ( Read more... )

I am thinking
very seriously
about coming home.

i laced my shoes with sorrow
and walked a weary road
dead end streets
dont come undone
with double knots

wing tipped shoes
thay walk on air
through vacant lots

This weekend I actually got to leave the military base and see Charleston.  And the beach.  I put Eva in her little swim diaper and we tried to take her into the ocean.  But she hated it.  She was fine when she was standing in the sand but whenever a wave would come towards her she would start to cry.  Oh well.  Charleston looked like it might be a ( Read more... )

So I have been in South Carolina now for a little over three weeks.  The plane ride here was not nearly as bad as I thought it would be.  I thought that everyone would hate me as soon as I stepped on with a baby and a cat.  But everyone was really nice.  Eva slept through both of our plane rides and Oz only howled during take off and landing.  And ( Read more... )
