Road trip!

Well, kinda. We are heading to Indy, Louisville, and Lincoln-- yea! And, we're going to drive through the night to avoid a crazy full day in the car with Everly and with no AC. So, it should be fun. I'm staying up late Tuesday (or Wednesday night, depending on what day we finally decide we're going to leave on) so that I will be prepared to stay up late the next night to drive. And, I guess I will take naps that day when Everly naps. Then, when I get tired Aaron will wake-up and take over. It will be fun!

More than driving, it is going to be fun to see our family and friends! Here are some of the things we're going to do:
-Help my mom with house construction
-Go to South Louisville Christian Church on Sunday
-Go to an apple orchard and pumpkin patch and revel in the fall beauty!
-Go to Riley Days
-See our Dentist
-Talk to ICCC's elders about Aaron's ordination
-Eat at First Wok in Lincoln hopefuly!!!!
-Recruit some interns, maybe
-And see lots of our beloveds!!!

My sister and brother-in-law even arranged to fly out from San Diego the same week so we can see each other, cause they probably won't make it home for Christmas this year. So, this is going to be a great and very full trip! Please pray for our safety and time--we very much appreciate it!

videos!

here's the video of Everly doing the splits, too.


her other favorite thing to do in her bed is to bounce, or as she says, "boun!" this was when we were on our retreat during labor day weekend, and when Gustav came. Grandma Johnson was with us.

our growing girl

okay, here are some new pictures of Everly. they go from most recent to a few weeks ago- you can tell by her hair! it's getting longer, and a little harder to keep out of her eyes. but we're trying to let it grow as long as we can before our first hair cut. we just bought some new barrettes and are ready to start doing some little pigtails when we get some bands!

here Everly is doing her newest talent- the splits! i caught her doing them after a nap one day- she's going to be a gymnast or dancer i think! ;)


I thought she looked pretty precious having her snack, she loves snacks! i put apples in a basket where she can reach them (unintentionally) and she now helps herself to them. she loves this new freedom!


I tried to teach her to drink her milk from her cereal bowl. she loves to do it, but it gets a little messy!


cheese- so happy!


a favorite part of our grocery trip is getting a cookie at the bakery. it's great because then Everly is mesmerized with her yummy and mommy can check out with no problem. however, chocolate chip cookies are a little messy!


another favorite of Everly's is to play with the chalk outside. course, mommy does most of the drawing--everly likes to take the chalk out and put it back in. she's an organizer we think.


here's her wasp sting from a couple weeks ago- her little foot was all swollen!


mommy let her play with her phone as a comfort after the sting. she loves the phone, or as she says, "hone."
