Well, we went to the doctor a couple weeks ago Thursday, and being about 9 weeks along, our little Fuzzball was about 2 cm big and due on April 6. Everything looks great! We're now at 11 weeks and everything is still going well.

Little Fuzzball
To announce my pregnancy to my students, I did our daily devotional reading from Psalms about being fearfully and wonderfully made, and formed carefully in our mothers' wombs. I also handed each kid a craft fuzz ball (you know the colored ones you glue to stuff?) because they were just the right size - about 1 cm in diameter. We held them in our hands, imagined being so small once, and marveled at the fact that God knew us and cared for us even then....even before then. Then I exaplined to the students that my newest baby was just that size. :)

Catching Up
In the next few posts, I'll try to recap our summer. We had some good times! We spent lots of time with family, and we enjoyed the lake almost daily! Enola just kept on growing and was bigger everytime I turned around.
Our summer began with a couple busy weeks at home. We had a fun Youth outing and VBS. After that, Enola and I headed to PA to see my mom through her last few days of school. Enola got to bond with the PA fam:
The Adamses gave her an early birthday gift of a baby doll. Enola knew what to do right away; she immediately hugged, kissed and patted her baby (sure there was some prompting, but it didn't take much). I believe in intuition! E also learned to climb a step at Gma and Gpa's house because we don't have ANY at home. It is now one of her favorite pasttimes.

Guess What!?
That's right, Enola will have a little sibling in (we're estimating) early April!!! We are so excited:)Sorry about the lack of posts this summer. Maybe we'll have a more regular routine during the school year and this blog will be a part of it!
Love to all!
P.S. We have to give Tammy props for the t-shirt...THANKS TAM! It was in the hand-me-down box from her girls (I remember Emma wearing it...did Evia, too?). As soon as I found it, I put it away hoping I would get to use it!

Little Big Girl
Enola seems to be growing up so fast these past few weeks. Maybe its just because I'm now out of school and with her 100% of the time. It's been great. Here she is getting ready to crawl over and check out the camera:
She's making this face often now...not really sure what that's all about. I could swear I heard her whistle once, though!
Enola now has two teeth (on the bottom). I've been trying really hard to get a picture of them which has only resulted in a lot of close-ups of her adorable face. I don't know how, but she's managing to hide them with her tongue here:
Eventually she got tired of the camera up in her face. When she gave me this look I decided to stop. Wouldn't you?
She likes standing at her wagon, unloading the toys, and them picking them up to put them back in again. I realize that from these pictures, it kind of looks like we're hermits. We do go outside, really, it's just that the camera stays home. You should come join us on the dock sometime!

Kissin' Cousins
We spent Memorial Day weekend at the Lake with the fam. Thanks Mom and Dad for making the trip out. Enola and Bode shared a little pool on the dock:
It was reminiscent of the previous generation of lake goers:(Whit on the left, Erin on the right)
Enola and Bode enjoyed eachother's company (mostly). There was tickling:
There was poking:
There were snacks:

Tubes
Because she had been having recurring ear infections, the doctor recommened that Enola have tubes put in her ears. He found that she had fluid trapped behind her ear (it has bacteria in it), and as long as that was there she would keep getting reinfected. Rather than continue to shoot her up with antibiotics, we took her in Monday morning for the very quick (5-10 minute) surgery. It went great. She was SCREAMIN' mad when she woke up from the anesthesia, but after she nappped on the way home, she seemed to be back to her normal cheerful self. She's had a great day today, and we hope this surgery will have its lasting intended good!
We got all dolled up for a wedding Saturday night. Enola bobbed along to the music on the dance floor with me and finally crashed in a friend's arms at around 9:30. A few people have told me how drastically tubes seemed to affect their kids' hearing. Dave and I wondered if that meant E would no longer be able to tune out the blaring music and sleep through wedding receptions (as she has a habit of doing).
No teeth yet!
