So today is the day I leave.

My Baby Evie.

Woke up in the morning feeling no rush at all to get my day started.  I had a shower and then some breakfast, toast with Vince’s homemade peanut butter and Sharon’s apricot jam.  Then it was off for a walk with Evie and Mason to get coffee.

The walk was really nice and the weather was perfect, we went all the way into town to this café that use to be a preschool.  I forget what it was called but it was really nice there and the scones were to die for!

On the walk back we went to the grocery store to buy the ingredients I would need to make the veggie burgers that everyone finds so delicious.  After a bit of puttering we made our way home, I led the pack with Mason in the buggy in front of me.

When we got home I went to the couch with Robin and turned on the cricket game.  It wasn’t long before I got Wi-Fi and Skyped my mumma back at home!  I was so happy to see her and when Devi came onto the screen I almost started crying.  Now that Christmas is coming up almost anything can make me start crying, even a Christmas commercial makes my eyes start watering.  Dad wasn’t home yet so I would have to wait an hour to Skype him.

While I waited I got to hold little 4-week-old Evie on my chest while Jenna was out shopping with Sharon.  Eve looked so peaceful, her whole body just curled up on my chest with her hands clenched into small fists.  Jenna came home and it was just about time for me to give Evie up but I hadn’t Skyped dad yet and I really wanted to show him my new baby.  Just as Jenna said it was time to go mom messaged me saying dad is home, I wasted no time pressing the call button.  Their faces appeared and I was so happy to see them together!  Dad was even happier to see me with a baby.  I figured at that moment that I wanted to have a baby girl…. If I ever do have kid, which according to my dad I will.


She is so precious!


The moment Evie left I headed to the kitchen to start dinner.  Took me a couple hours to get everything ready but not long to cook the burgers.  We had Tara, Joe and her kids over, who include Mason, Bell, and Indy (the oldest).

I wasn’t sure how the burgers were going to turn out but everyone kept eating and eating them so they must have been good.  Bell, who is an extremely picky eater, even said she liked them.  I was quite proud of myself.

After dinner I Skyped my bestest friend Cheyanne!  We talked for ages and finally Tim came back from his nature walk and I got to talk to him as well.  I was informed about everything going on in everyone’s life at the present moment and felt a part of my small family once more.  I really wanted to watch the movie that would soon be chosen so I had to say goodbye to my best buddies, something that is not easy.


We watched The Family Man that night with Nicolas Cage.  It is a pretty good movie but Lyn and I ended up falling asleep because we were so tired.  In the morning we are going to the market so I must get my sleep tonight.
