Seven continents...

And in another dose of cuteness, here's Ev singing about the 7 continents... errr... maybe, 8. Sounds like continent "Envelope" as been added to planet Earth, recently.

Counting

At daycare, Ev's been learning spanish and at home we (And by "we," I mean Brendon) have been working on that, as well as some German.  Here's Ev counting in both.
The spanish is nearly perfect until number 16... but punctuated with a strong and excited Veinte!
And, I love how the German is good until "zehn."  Where she just subs-in "ten" at-will.
((Oh, and she's on the potty. Thus, you just get audio. LOL.)

Celebrating Little Sister

Yesterday, my dear friends Emma and Kathryn hosted a "Baby's on It's Way Brunch," in honor of the newest Powell to be joining us here in about a month.

Originally, we were going to head to Marche, one of Nashville's fun places for brunch, but ultimately opted for the restaurant within Union Station Hotel downtown. It was so much fun and the perfect place to celebrate!  Here are a few pics. Thanks to my girlfriends for coming!!  And thanks to Brendon for watching 3 little girls (all under two and a half) so we could celebrate!

Post-brunch pedicures... Emma and Sara. Sara's due in October!

 My feet still look relatively normal! (On the left. Red toes.)

No swelling!  (For those that remember Ev's pregnancy, I couldn't even fit in normal shoes for the last 2 months!)

Big-girl bed

So, we've been awful about posting lately.  So much going on.
BUT, I did have to post to brag, yet again, about my husband.
Brendon recently made Evelyn a big-girl bed and I am in love with it! So cute. It's a twin bed that can grow with her.  The rails come off when it's time. The feet detach so you can attach taller ones.  Oh, and it will bunk, when he makes another, when its time for Powell Baby #2 to be in a big-girl bed with her sister.
Best of all, Evelyn loves her new bed so far.  Slept in it last night without a peep!
