While Aaron is away….

Aaron has been in Denver all weekend visiting with college friends Jesse Moore, Chad Ashcraft, and Brandon Luckey.  I think he’s had a great time – they went to a baseball game and played lots of folf.

I always dread being a single-mother but have honestly enjoyed my few days alone with Elayna.  She’s been sweet, has eaten and slept better than usual, and we’ve had a good time together.  We’ve played in the park (its unusually cool), went to the farmer’s market, cooked banana bread, swam, and went to a movie.  But we definitely miss Dada.

I did finally finish one big project over the weekend.  During Elayna’s first year, I made tiles with her footprint for each month.  Since then, we’ve had 12-random tiles stored in her room – unsure what to do next.  Aaron had planned a big wall-display but we were having trouble finding a picture frame to pair with it.  In the meantime, I’ve had space on her wall perfect for something like this.  So this weekend, I hung the tiles above her upper-chair rail to create a border.  I think it looks really nice – and I’m proud to do it all on my own.
