We’ve been without internet for the last couple of days due to excessive raining. It came back on today. I feel like a blind man who has just regained his sight. We had to go to another home to download the XD files so we could continue studying the XD.
Their having the XD core for Chile in Brazil and I got a letter that there are no babies or kids allowed. David wanted to stay home with Evan while I went but I got him used to the idea of leaving Evan with someone else so we can both go. I’m still trying to decide if I can realistically leave him for that long. It might mean that I have to ween him at 6 months. But I miss him when he sleeps for too long so I’ll go crazy being away from him for 3 weeks.

Fathers Day

We had an evening activity as a home for Fathers day. Was fun, we sat around the table on the  floor eating snacks and then served beer so the fathers would show up. There was a promise of back massages from each of the girls for the dads but in the end we got lazy and full and ended up asking each other questions out of a talk time book.  

Evan’s almost half my size, ha.

David and Evan

Evan just turned 2 months on the 8th. He’s getting to the stage where he’s more aware of his surroundings and he’s starting to recognise people. Before he would give me this blank stare whenever I tried to play with him but now he laughs and smiles and actually tries to communicate.

And he loves David. Whenever he sees him his eyes light up and he starts smiling. I took these photos this morning.

News

Seems like everyone is going through major changes right now.

David and I just moved to our new home last week. It’s just starting up, right now we’re waiting for another couple to get here and people are still moving out. We’re allot of people, 33 so far. It’s going to be sort of like a school for the kids we have here as well as the for the area along with witnessing and projects for the teens. Anyways, sounds exciting; pray for us.

By the way, I don’t want to be boring and only post about my son, but at the moment I don’t have a camera and have been relying on the charity of others to lend me theirs so I haven’t had the opportunity to post pics about get togethers and whatnot. Hopefully I’ll be able to afford one soon enough.

I just realised that Evan is terribly lazy. Normally he goes to bed at around 11:00pm and he’ll wake up at 8:30 or 9:00 the next morning. This morning he slept until 12. And then it takes him 20 minutes of stirring and smacking his fat lips until he actually wakes up.  

Of course he does get HUNGRY so he wakes up every 2-3 hours to nurse at night. He does this thing now where he sucks on his fist when he’s hungry and patiently waits until I get the point. But if that doesn’t happen soon enough he’ll start screaming uncontrollably until I feed him. He’s got quite the temper.

But every time I have to get up in the middle of the night to nurse him I comfort myself with the thought that it’s making him fatter and me thinner.

My handsome boy

 These pics were taken about 3 weeks ago. We had just dressed Evan in this cute suit so decided to snap a few shots.
