dear evie,

it's been a good week! just feeling blessed and lucky to be a mom, and also overwhelmed with normal life. you know (or maybe you will when you're a mom). dad felt you kick for the first time this week-- we were sitting quietly talking one night and you gave him two hard kicks, and the rest is history! your sweet sisters kiss you good night and good morning every day, amelia always says "hi evelyn, it's millie, i love you!"

we went to home depot's diy workshop for the first time this month and your sisters loved it! i loved watching your dad helping them with tools, and i'm pretty sure there was steam coming off of him! hahahaha! i love imagining you joining our family and running around with the girls. i could see daddy taking a turn helping you hammer in your project and you playing games with us in the playroom and you taking your first steps in our home and you in your infant carseat in the new cars we test drove. i just see you in everything we do.

i love you,
mom
