Visitors from Alaska and Washington, DC

With Adria and Avi visiting from DC and Laura, Mark and Henry (who is absolutely adorable!!!) visiting from Alaska, we all decided that the best and easiest way for everyone to get together and meet Evan would be for us to host a gathering where the girls and their boys came to us. It was hard for me to commit to anything too early but as the day approached I knew it was the best way to see everyone. Everyone was so generous in what they brought that it really minimized what Bruce and I had to do to get ready for the day. Plus it was a beautiful day so that we were able to be out on the deck, leaving minimal cleanup inside once everyone left. Perfect!

It was great to see everyone, especially those that we don’t get to see very often! Everyone was excited to meet Evan, who slept through most of the party again. He was in his swing in the dining room for much of the afternoon and people kept going in the house to peek at him. Each time he was asleep. Later in the afternoon, he did wake up and once fed, we played “Pass the Evan”. Everyone gets a turn! He didn’t seem to mind being passed around and even opened his eyes a few times once it wasn’t so bright outside. While Evan won’t really remember the day, it was nice that our friends, especially those who live far away, were able to meet our little guy.
