Anne arrived and instantly bonded with Evy. She had been to see us back when Evy was only a few months old. Look at the difference:
Then:
And now!
Anne and I decided to accomplish a project while she was here. She really wanted to help me with getting ready for Liam. Anytime someone talks to me about Liam, acknowledges that he's my son, or helps me celebrate him, it means so much. Since this isn't a traditional "pregnancy," it can sometimes feel lonely or strange. Anne has been so supportive from day one and is constantly asking me about Liam's progress. I hate that I often don't have a lot to report, but just her thinking about us (and him) is what matters!
We decided to PAINT LIAM'S ROOM! Anne was thinking about tackling a paint job herself, but had never learned how to paint. I had learned from my dad over the years, so I taught her as we went. It was so fun, because she taped off all of the walls and edges while I painted, and we just got to talk and talk! Of course I had my Disney Pandora station playing. :) It felt SO GOOD to get that done, and it made the whole process seem more real! Here's how it looked once we were finished:
(Note: we have since made lots of progress on Liam's room, as of today! I can't wait to show it off!)
This was right before I took Anne to the airport. Evy kept asking where Miss Anne was after she left. It was such a blessed time, and it did my soul good to have my dear friend near me! We miss you, Anne - please come back SOON!
