What a week!
August 30th was an interesting day. My growing belly started to feel something that I have never felt before... CONTRACTIONS! I made it till 5am on the 31st before I could not take it any more. To the hospital we went. The day was long but before I knew it I was feeling more things that I have never felt before-- PUSHING!?!?
And a sweet angel baby came into my life. 8 lbs 5 onz 19 inches long
Her name is Eva Bea (pronounced 'B') Evans. My grandma Hodges name was Eva Lou. I have never meet her (at least on this earth). But I have learned enough about her to know that this little girl is lucky to be named after her. Bea is what I call one of my great Aunts. In fact it is Eva Lou's baby sister. Aunt Bea has always had a soft spot in my heart and although this is not her given name of Sara Elizabeth it is how I have always known her. The woman that I feel in love with as a child and has always been in my life to represent for my Grandmother who died before my parents were even married. Aunt Bea is one of the best woman that I know. One that I aspire to be more like everyday. If this little Eva Bea is anything like the women she is named after, watch out world nothing can stop her.
The day I was to be released from the hospital I got word that an angel had died. My grandpa.
Lee J Treasure. There are not words to describe the love I have for this man. Nor are there words to explain all that he has taught me. In short this man is a hero of mine, this man is a friend of mine. And I am lucky enough to call him Grandpa. I have so many sweet memories of my Grandpa Treasure. I love this man- I always will. He helped me to become who I am today.

Remember when I texted you and you were in the hospital? That's some serious cousin intuition going on! And you DID IT! She's beautiful! =)
I remember meeting him in ID one day. He was just such a good man.
How special to have such meaning to a name. Little Eva looks just like an angel.
