Family update

Well Kyle finally finished the oh so lovely bar exam, and I am so happy that he is done with it for now. After he took the bar, that weekend we decided we needed a little break so we loaded up the car and headed to Palm Springs. We figured we'd take a nice little mini trip to celebrate Kyle being done with law school and the bar exam, since we are taking a big trip the end of September. It was so nice to all three be together without any distractions.

My pregnancy seems to be going really well so far, but my stomach feels like it's twice as big now than it was at this point with Evelyn so I don't know what to think about that. I have made it to somewhere between 14 and 15 weeks, and thankfully am feeling a lot better. My energy is still shot and night time isn't too fun but it's way better than a few weeks ago. We headed out to our storage unit a few days ago to try and retrieve my maternity clothes, yeah real exciting, but they were so far back that we would have had to unload the entire storage unit to get them, so luckily Kyle said to forget it and just go by some new ones. He may regret saying that. JK!

We are still enjoying being at my parents house and appreciating the help it really gives us. Evelyn loves it, I just don't know what she'll do when we move out and she doesn't have quite the amount of attention she gets from around here. Though my parents are so generous in letting us stay here, Evelyn still has her daily chores to do, like this one, washing her car, it's a tough life being a 2 year old with your own car already that you have to take care of.

We just love this little girl so much, she brings so much joy and happiness to our lives. I love looking at these pictures and seeing how big she is but at the same time it makes me a little sad to see her growing up.



A couple days ago Evelyn and I went to the LA Zoo. It was really fun to see all the animals. Evelyn was so excited, she would run from one animal to the next and give a new expression each time as if she had never seen an animal before. She would just talk and go on and on about each one. Who knows what she was saying but it was very cute.
Her favorite was the monkeys and gorillas. She stood there for a long time just looking at them and trying to figure them out. At one point she and a gorilla were face to face against the glass.
I just had to take a picture of the Zebras, I thought it was so funny they wouldn't look at people they just wanted to show us this lovelier side of them.

Can't leave without seeing the big hippo. I think Evelyn just thought it was a big rock in the water cause she was not interested in this one.
