Eden decided to get a fever last night. She has been in bed all day long. Poor girl. All she has done today is periodically whimper for help. That’s what a fever of 102 will do I guess. The fever came out of nowhere. We have no idea where she got it. Thankfully she felt up to a short shopping trip for the necessary groceries and a little walk around the block. It seems to have broken now. An hour before bedtime and she finally is interested in doing things and is telling us all sorts of stories. More and more it seems like her babbling is about things she is trying to narrate for us. It’s so cute how she waves and gestures to get her point across. I am so glad she is feeling better.

We had a great time up in Idaho Falls for Mother’s Day. We decided to surprise Renee with a visit. Right as we drove up John opened the garage door and walked out. There went our plan of leaving Eden on the doorstep while we rang the doorbell and hid.

Jordy and I did a little musical number for Renee. Eden surprised me by coming home from nursery saying “Mama” and with a great handprint picture for me. Chad wrote me a note (my very favorite thing) and he found me a great elliptical machine! I got to talk to my mom on our drive back to Salt Lake. The drive to Idaho Falls still seems so short, so we think about it almost every weekend.

I’m so glad to be able to tell Elisa what a great Mama she is. Eden’s a lucky girl. Happy Mother’s Day!
