Hola

It's that time again: it's time for the random assortment of pictures with no common theme other than they're of Eric and me! I hope you enjoy these pictorial narratives of our lives :)

A few weeks ago I went to Time Out for Women. Here's a shot of Hillary Weeks, one of the performers--sorry it's not that great a picture. I tried to think of a concise way to explain what Time Out for Women is, but was having a hard time. It's a religious yet fun event for women of faith. Yup, that's the best I can do. Check out their Web site if you want to know more.

So a couple weeks ago I was feeling...big. So I had Eric take a picture of me from behind so I could see if I looked as big from that perspective. I was happy to discover that while perhaps I look a little more curvy, I don't look big :) I don't have a complex about gaining weight from being pregnant, don't worry. I was just having one of "those" days.

We've been spending a lot of time with our friends from church, Bryce and Maddy Egbert. Bryce is a med student at VCU. We all get along really well and we've enjoyed getting to know one another better. Bryce and Eric love talking about/playing computer games together and watching college football, and Maddy and I are glad to let them while we have some girl time :) We went to their house last week to carve pumpkins. Eric chose a difficult pattern, but he did a great job. I supervised!

Carving away.

Eric's mummy.

We had a ghost, mummy, Thomas the Train (for their little boy, Briton, who LOVES trains), and a spooky jack-o-lantern scarecrow something...Bryce's was really complicated. He impressed us all with his carving skills--and patience. Eric had to help him with a little emergency reconstructive surgery including a toothpick at one point.

32 weeks.

Dressed up for Eric's class party Friday. I was a pregnant angel. I guess that makes Eric the devil...

Eric did a good job with those horns. They were originally hair barrettes for women, but he shaved that off with his pocket knife and applied them using spirit gum.

We bought face paint for Eric but then he ended up not using as much as he'd planned, so I decided we should make good use of it. I started drawing on Eric's face while we watched a show when we got home from the party, and so he in turn tried his skills on mine.

We went to a luncheon that recognized scholarship recipients for Eric's college at VCU. It was mostly enjoyable--luckily we got assigned to sit by Lance and Jen. After it was over, they told people they could take the centerpieces, so Eric snagged this one. The roses smell wonderful and I've enjoyed having them on the table this week.

This was Eric's favorite shot of me with the roses ;)
