Visiting Family

My parents and brother were here this past weekend visiting their grandson/nephew. They may have tried to pretend that they were there to see Robin & I, too, but well, we all know the truth, don't we? It's ok. I understand.

So, while they were here, my mom complained that I hadn't posted a new blog in a long time. She was right. I really haven't. I have no good excuse, except that I have an 18 month old who loves to get into everything and I'm 24 weeks pregnant and exhausted beyond belief. Other people are doing it, though, so I guess I should suck it up and write something.

I don't have much to share. Everything is going on pretty smoothly. Evan is REALLY trying to say some words, but because he's such a good communicator without the words, he really doesn't seem to think it's necessary to actually SAY anything. Yesterday, though, I do think he finally said 'truck' and he continually points at things and says 'that.' He also loves to say 'yesh.' That's Evan-ese for 'yes.' So, I do think we're making some progress.

I know that once he starts talking, he will never, EVER stop, so while I can't wait to hear more of his adorable little voice... I'm all about him taking his time.

Our family is still struggling financially, so more prayers for that would be greatly appreciated. Robin has had a bunch of little things to bring in much needed income, but we're still trying to find one or two BIG things. God has never let us down yet, and we know His timing is perfect, so we're really trying to hold onto that right now.

We are truly blessed with family who will not let us go homeless or hungry, so we are very thankful for them in the meantime... we'll be thankful for them once we're financially on our feet again, too. I'm just saying...

Anyway, other than a few bumps in the road, things with the Parrish's are going great. We're excitedly awaiting the arrival of little Emma in October. She's making herself known by making Mommy continually nauseous... still... and she has been doing her gymnastics and karate to let Mommy know she's there. I love it!

So, that's where we are. Peace, love and fireworks!

Here are a few photos of the little guy. Because I know that's why you all really read this. :)
