Catching up...

Okay...so I've had some photos sitting around that I haven't posted on the blog. Well Mommy called me on it...so here are updates. One should never stand in the way of a grandmother trying to see her grandchild. :) :) :) :) :)

Here's Evan and his new pool:



And here are our new floors!



Cute video of Evan coming in the next post...

By any means possible...

Sometimes a man just needs a good book to get things moving...

Daddy's cars...

Sometimes when I'm in the office, Evan likes to come in and play with things on the shelves. We have large built-ins, but the shelves are too small for much other than little knick-knacky items. You know those items: the junk you collect from various places (shot glasses, baseballs, bobbleheads) that you don't quite know what to do with but you're not quite ready to part with either.

Bryan has some cars on these shelves also. I would gladly part with them...but they're important to him, so they stay. Evan has always been fascinated with these cars. He looks at them, he rolls them gently when he thinks we aren't looking, and he names them off by make and model. Genius, that child.

The other day, while I was checking e-mail, I heard Evan say, "Dese are mine and Daddy's cars, Mommy. You no touch." When I looked up, Evan had put his little Lamborghini right next to Daddy's big Lamborghini. Precious.

And then, satisfied with what he'd done (and convinced I wouldn't intervene), he sat down to read a book while I finished.

At least he wasn't "reading" the dictionary like he normally does.

By the way, please note his "big boy" underpants. He's making progress!

The birthday PARTY (May 11th)

Not to be limited to one day of festivities, Evan had a lovely birthday party with his and Mommy and Daddy's friends. We had brisket, brats, potato salad, cole slaw, baked beans, and plenty of good times to celebrate. And of COURSE presents and cake.

What a great day!

The birthday (May 10th)

Well...it has taken us a week to recuperate from our wild birthday festivities last weekend! Evan had a wonderful birthday. Daddy got in early that morning, Mommy made a special breakfast, lunch came from Popeye's fried chicken, and dinner was at Casa Rita's...with complimentary birthday sopapillas! Mmmmmmm...

And of course the day was spent opening and playing with presents! Enjoy the pics...they tell the story!
