Frisbee Fun!

Evie and I took our time getting ready this morning before running a few errands. We came home and played outside a little. Evie rode her new "cycle" and kicked the ball a little.

  I had a hard time getting her to settle down for her nap but she finally fell asleep. I woke her up around 4:30 so we could get her to bed early tonight. Carl got home early again. We are trying to enjoy this because his travel schedule will be picking up in the spring. Evie wanted to play with her new Frisbee so we walked to the park. She had a ball throwing her Frisbee and catching it. It was so funny to see her really enjoying herself and using the Frisbee correctly.

   Evie walked most of the way home so we pushed the stroller. Carl grilled delicious burgers for dinner and we played on the hammock. We had not been in the backyard since my parents were here and Evie kept talking about her Nana. She remembered that Nana found an old sock stuck under the tree and played ball with her. Our house had three boys living here before we moved in and occasionally we find little reminders of them such as socks outside, names written in closets and recipes stuck between the drawers in the kitchen. They lived here for 15 years so they had a lot of wonderful memories. Carl just saw Leesa the other day when she was dropping her son off at the neighbors - the one who wrote his name in the closet in Evie's new room. I love all those little things. It makes me feel like this is a real home!
