We have been so busy with appointments, finals, Evalyn, me getting, or trying to get, back to work, scheduling sitters, etc, I have not been able to write about how wonderful Mother’s Day weekend was! My Dad came up on Friday, which I have not seen since I was in the hospital and couldn’t even talk, my mom was already up, and Jennifer and Daniel came on Sat. My Dad put up a swing for Evalyn in the back yard and she loves it! She just laughs, especially if you act like your are going to “get her”. My Dad enjoyed fishing… not catching, but he will next time, when the fisher woman has more energy to go with him. I got one of my favorite cakes was Publix, hmmmm, and had a piece about 3pm. I don’t really believe on waiting on dessert anymore.

Sat morning, Grandma, Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Corynne and Evalyn Rose, we all went to Watson Mill Park to see the longest cover bridge in GA, went on a short hike, had a picnic, and played on the playground. Evalyn really enjoyed sitting on the slide backwards and having the braves ball rolled down to her. On the trail, the stroller only almost went in the water (a small stream) once. We just had to retrieve the sippy cup and change drivers. Corynne found all kind of cool things: a big hairy caterpillar, the most colorful beetle in the world, and the smallest lizard I have ever seen. It gets better, we stopped and bought fresh strawberries from Moon patch in Colbert and had some delicious homemade strawberry ice cream. On the way home, we stopped at an out of the way GA store in Colbert that has great prices on most GA items.That night we had a great dinner that the men and Jennifer cooked, well my mom couldn’t really stay out of the kitchen either and the whole family went on a walk around the lake, even all 4 dogs. My parents have the two beagles you know. One of them, Bailey, isn’t that shaped tack in the pack, but one of the most gentle and sweetest. She will let Evalyn crawl all over her. After the walk, we played Cranium and I have not laughed that hard in 6 months. I had to go find my inhaler. You should have seen my mom trying to act out vibrating and what my sister said as she was guessing. PG-13. I was able to taste potato chips for the first time so that was really exciting. The girls were pretty behind but we caught up, but the guys still won. I blamed it on Dad trying to draw with his eyes close without knowing what he was going to draw, me laughing so hard at him, and not getting enough oxygen to my chemo brain.

The next morning, we borrowed a neighbors screened in dock for a brunch and my mom made a yummy egg, mushrooms, veggie, casserole. It was beautiful. Shortly after, Jonathan, Evalyn, and I got really to go to Winder to celebrate Luke’s (our cousin’s child) baby dedication and mother’s day. Luke is such a sweet baby, I didn’t get to hold him though, I just get to touch my own child at this point, but she is good enough J . I had some great pictures to give out and Courtney let Evalyn borrow her 12-18 months clothes, they are so adorable! Evalyn couldn’t leave without a present of course; her Grandma Carol got her a ball puzzle that she really seems to like. Thanks Grandma! We just missed Grandpa Frank, he was sick L

| This girl already has her Grandpa wrapped around her finger, now if we can just talk him out of that truck. |
 |
| Well, I did the best I could, here we are on the dock. |

Jonathan had to study for exams the rest of the day so my mom and I watched For the Boys. I love this movie and plan to sing some of the songs in public as soon as possible. It was a perfect weekend with only a minor irritation where I had trouble getting some medication that I needed but I finally got it and the world was ok. Of course, we went to see Granny for mother's day down the street, She let me borrow the beautiful earrings and necklace I wore to the party. God is good and gave me a lot of energy to have fun and do some things that I have not been able to do in long time.
Hope you enjoy the pictures!
