"...I'm glad to finally see some progress."

Monday, March 23, 1992

     We had Daniel Simpson over for dinner yesterday. We "adopted" him after the Pughs left. It's been a long time since we had an adopted single. He stayed til about 3:00 so we had time for a short nap. Ez. didn't sleep during church so she slept all afternoon.

     Yesterday we had our first try-out preacher. Tim Jorgensen from Memphis. I looked him up in my Harding yearbooks–he graduated a year after me. His wife Rebecca is a piano teacher but she's currently secretary at the in vitro clinic at UT med. school. I talked with her at the fellowship after the eve. service. She's 32 & he's 36 & they've only been married four years. They're waiting til he gets out of school to start a family. I assume he's done soon or he wouldn't have applied for the job. He was a good speaker I guess but I want to hear the others before I decide (like it's up to me). They did put some questionnaire sheets in the song book racks asking members what they thought about him. I assume they'll do that every time.

     Ez. slept all night but she was up til after 10:00. We had to let her cry herself to sleep (I did tonight too). We were taping her because she was sitting on the couch with me & Guy was in the kitchen and she grabbed hold of the back cushion and pulled up on her knees to see him. She did it over by her toy basket today but I only saw it once. Maybe she really is going to skip crawling all together. I was beginning to worry about her not pulling up so I'm glad to finally see some progress.

     I got a little more of her dress cut out tonight. Since she slept til 8:30 this morning I didn't put her down for a morning nap. I thought she'd go to sleep right after lunch but she just wanted to play. It was almost 2:30 before she went to sleep then I took a nap too. I woke up at 4:00 & she slept til a little past 4:30. I really should go to sleep but it's just so hard to fall asleep when Guy's not here. If Ez. wasn't here I'd just stay up and watch tv til I fell asleep. I have to watch for a long time to get sleepy so it doesn't help when I don't settle in til 11 or later.

     Oh, Ez's hives came & went all of Sat. and part of Sun. We gave her the Benadryl through Sun. night. Haven't seen any more since Sun. morn. so I guess she's over them now. I'm glad.
