Our niece Eva came to visit this weekend. She spent Saturday night and Sunday with us, and it was quite the adventure! She was very excited to come to our place, but I could tell she was also a bit apprehensive about being away from her mom, dad, and sister. She was scared to sleep on the floor, so she ended up sleeping between Johnny and me in our bed! My sister warned me that Eva wakes up at 7:00 every morning, and sure enough, 7:00 rolled around and she sat up in bed and said, "I'm awake! Wake up!" Johnny and I were both super tired from staying up late and then being hit in the face all night by Eva's tiny arms (she must have very vivid dreams!). I woke up with Eva and watched Dora the Explorer for hours/got her dressed for church/let her color/and tried to feed her breakfast but all she would eat was candy and gum (sorry Sarah). Finally, I got her to lay down for a nap (with me...I was exhausted!!) before church started, while Johnny went to a meeting for our church calling. Eva went to church with us and was a perfect little angel, sitting still all through sacrament. She even went to nursery! Johnny and I were both exhausted, and I was ready to give her back to her real parents by the afternoon. We loved having that little girl with us, but I don't know if I can ever be a parent! When we gave Eva back to her parents, Johnny and I both looked at each other and started laughing at how relieved we felt at not having a little child to look after anymore! Maybe some day I'll be able to handle a little one of my own, but for now, nieces and nephews are quite enough for me!
p.s. If you can't tell, it snowed!!!!
