than a little girl riding the rocking horse her Great-Grandaddy made her for Christmas. Not every handmade gift is so thoroughly appreciated by its recipient. Emily actually dragged her horsey over to me and more or less begged me to help her on. Such sweetness. Unfortunately, when she attempted to dismount, she somehow ended up with horsey on top of her. But no ouchies, so all was well.
I wanted to show you the pretty rose Evan brought home for our anniversary last night, but I’m having trouble moving the pictures from the camera to the computer. Usually it’s just a matter of plugging it in and clicking a button, but something is just not working today. He also brought home cheesecake which he subsequently drizzled with cherries. Yum. We couldn’t get a babysitter in time to go out, so we watched Jane Austen’s Persuasion (the new, ITV version). What a good man to watch yet another predictable love story with long dance sequences. I gotta say, I loved it but could do without the modern elements the director threw in. I’m just not a fan of weird camera angles and movement in a film that is otherwise completely 1815. It was distracting. But I still loved Wentworth and Anne. Great chemistry there.
Tonight we have reservations for dinner at Frank Lloyd Wright’s Price Tower. We stayed there when I was 8 months pregnant with Emily. Now that we’re making a second trip, I’m 7 months pregnant with Baby Brother.
