Hotel Smith's Last Guest Checks Out

Since Eve was born in December, we've been lucky enough to have a steady stream of visitors! This past week, my former roommate Marinda finished up as our last planned guest for the foreseeable future. We had a fun week with her here! Besides spending a lot of time sitting around and admiring Eve, we had the chance to get out and do a few fun things :)

One afternoon while Andrew was still at work, we drive over to the Dallas Temple which is about 15 minutes from our house.


We forgot to bring the stroller, so Eve enjoyed being carried around the temple grounds. It was a sunny, fairly warm day - such a nice change from the snow and ice we've been having.

On Saturday, Andrew was headed to the park to play football with some guys from church, so we went with him (a little early) so we could spend more time outside! Eve got her first chance to ride a swing. This one was a bit big, so Andrew had to assist.

Even the baby swing was too big, so again, a bit of help was required. But Eve seemed pleased :)

Saturday evening, we had dinner with our friends Chris and Melissa. I met Marinda and Melissa in the same BYU student ward in Provo, so we all go way back. We had a yummy dinner at Prairie House and had a good time catching up. I forgot to take pictures, go figure.

On Sunday, we had to say goodbye to Marinda. Eve was sorry to see her go (as she is with all our guests).

I was sad to see her go too! We lived together for three years before Andrew and I got married...parting is such sweet sorrow!
