au revoir.

so how about on Wednesday night Chris played church ball and royally messed up his ankle. like, he-is-currently-using-crutches messed up his ankle. and his thesis was due today. and Carly and I are getting on a plane and leaving him tomorrow. poor guy. thank goodness some friends let him borrow their crutches (they have had church ball injuries of their own) so the hopping has stopped. i kept telling carly that her daddy was the easter bunny "because he hops, hops, hops around." pretty sure there will be a wife-imposed ban on church ball.

my child crawls . . . backwards. she went backward from that book to her location in this picture. it was highly entertaining. you can see how proud she is of herself. she is delicious. every day i tell her I'm going to eat her for lunch.

speaking of delicious, Carly liked this apple more than a friend. i can tell she is getting frustrated with baby food because it smells eerily similar to baby poo. she looks at our food like "hey, that actually smells good!" shortly after we let her suck on this apple, i fed her pureed green beans. she was definitely not pleased with the switch.

oh, yeah, we are leaving tomorrow. can't really tell you how excited i am (minus the leaving Chris part and flying alone with an ultra-energetic baby part). that last few days i've done a billion loads of laundry trying to catch up and cleaned the house what feels like 10 times. and packed 3 times. did you know i'm a chronic over-packer? i am. i pack way too much, then unpack and try to weed stuff out. today i had to have chris intervene and help me. i have serious issues, and its only worse now that carly is aboard.

but we are leaving tomorrow.

exactly 24 hours from now i'll be in the car with my daddy driving to pocatello.

glorious.

(minus the no-chris thing, don't forget).

au revoir.
