December 2007

During December 2007 you had a blast. You had so many new toys from your birthday in November that you were one busy little guy. You also started walking. You would go over to the tree and lightly touch an ornament with one finger. So cute.


We had several gatherings at our house and you were always the center of attention. Right before Christmas you got a double ear infection and was...well should I say....a bit crabby. We all knew you didn't feel well when you wouldn't give us one of your famous grins.

Evan it seems like you are growing so fast its impossible that last year at this time...you were just a tiny bundle.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVAN....1 year old this month!!

Year in Review: October 2007

What a busy month. We had a Halloween party we called a BOO BASH and what beautiful weather for it. We built fires in two fire pits and enjoyed the brisk autumn evening. You sat on Cresia’s lap, Christy’s lap, and Athena’s lap. Eventually you fell asleep on Athena’s lap but you tried to keep your eyes open as long as possible. You carved pumpkins with mom and Aunt Kelsey on October 30th. Finally on Halloween you went trick or treating as a furry purple monster. You looked adorable and you discovered that you love suckers. Oh No! Sweet Tooth!

We went to the Pirate Festival and you enjoyed all the sights and sounds. There were lots of people dressed up like pirates and you enjoyed the music and singing. You dressed up like a little pirate and here you are observing what happens to complainers! You went to the festival with Mommy, Aunt Sissy, Papa and Grandma. You had lots of fun looking around.

Here you are getting your nine month picture taken. Sometimes you like getting your picture taken but most of the time you refuse to look at the camera! Here you are showing off walking with mommy holding your hands. You are getting to be such a big boy and you are the joy of our lives!!!

Eight months old! You can sit up, crawl on your tummy, and are really starting to jabber a lot. Sometimes you yell when we are trying to watch TV and then Aunt Kelsey tells you to “be quiet”. Of course, you just look at her cause you know you run the show! We went to Bennett Springs and stayed in Uncle David's camper. While we were there we went to Silver Dollar City and we also went to Big Surf. You loved the water park and you were so good all day!!!

Mommy, Aunt Kelsey, and you are checking out the camels at Grant's Farm. You weren't to interested......you had found something else to look at. We had to watch out and make sure the camel didn't try to lick you or spit. We managed to snap a few pictures quickly. It was a fun day but very very hot.

Evan with the Queen of the Fairies at the Renaissance Fair. I just has to include two pictures for May because the Renaissance Fair is going to become a yearly event!!! You weren't afraid of the Queen of the Fairies but you were a little in awe of the whole thing. She is a friend of Papa's and so was happy to pose for this picture with you....our little Puck!!!

Your mommy’s first Mother’s Day and you are sweet and cuddly. Boy… are you ever growing Evan. You get bigger and learn new things every day. You have a really cute little smile but alas you have a temper too. When you get mad everyone in the house knows it. You are starting to sit up and get around, so you are into everything. You love to turn over your toy basket.

All the family gathered at Great Grandma Schenck’s house for Easter dinner. You got several bunnies…and especially liked the BIG fluffy yellow one from Great Grandpa. You and mommy moved to Warrenton and now you are only a block away from Grandma…I can see you every day!!

You celebrated St. Patrick’s Day and we had corn beef and cabbage. Don’t you look adorable in your glasses!!! You’ve started eating cereal and you love it! Yum Yum. You looked so cute in your St. Patrick's Day clothes...and you were so happy you danced around with your shamrock glasses on. You're our lucky shamrock and every holiday is more delightful with you to celebrate with!

Evan's Year in Review: Feb. 2007

Three months old and growing strong. You love to be held by mommy and grandma but sometimes you fuss for others a bit. Valentine’s Day is even more special this year….because of my littlest Valentine: Evan!

Ringing in the New Year with Evan….All you do is eat and sleep and cry…and you love to sleep on Grandma’s lap in the recliner! Mommy had to go back to work but you still visit us a lot. Here mommy is giving you your first kiss of the New Year. We have so much fun celebrating all of the holidays and special events with you!!

You are sleeping through the night but you are a noisy, restless sleeper. You snore and kick and wiggle a lot. You are very curious about everything and you make the funniest faces. You are growing bigger everyday! We love to hold you, take pictures of you, and sing you songs.
