We finally had a long weekend without too much going on and nice weather so that we could take care of a few things around the house.  One of which was fixing some jets in the hot tub.  Bruce was hard at work and assisted, as always, by the cutest little helper in the world! Over there, Dad.  That's what...

We sure have a lot to be thankful for this year.  We have a wonderful little boy who gives us so much love and joy every day.  We have so many special people in our lives, both friends and family, who help us create many wonderful experiences and memories.  Bruce has a good job where he is appreciated for all...

…no more monkeys jumping on the bed.  Well, according to Evan anyway.  What the Dr. really said is that Evan has bronchiolitis and he needs to use a nebulizer for a few days to get rid of the wheezing.  Evan started coughing with a runny nose last week and then was worse over the weekend.  With Thanksgiving coming up, we...

Bruce decided it was a good idea to take advantage of a free weekend with nice weather to do some fall leave clean up.  It is strange to think that we had 7+ inches of snow on the ground just three weeks ago but that today it was beautiful out.  Evan, who always wants to help, was eager to get...

Evan’s vocabulary amazes us everyday.  He can say just about anything we throw at him pretty much perfectly the first time. Here is one thing he can’t quite say…which is what makes it so cute! The story behind the this post: About a month ago I took Evan to the post office.  I told him during his lunch that we...

A couple of months ago, Bruce and I said good-bye to our first Droid smartphones and hello to our new Bionic’s.  With so much else going on, it has taken me this long to actually download all of the pictures off my old phone.  Looking back I am amazed!  It is hard to believe that Evan was really ever that...

I am always taking pictures of Evan so today I guess he decided that it was his turn to take a couple of pictures of me (while Daddy took pictures of him!). From Collages

Lately, Evan wants to take Curious George and Pooh Bear every where he goes.  Upstairs, downstairs, in the car…it doesn’t matter he wants them to come too.  He has also started pulling his blankets and other animals out of his crib to play with during the day.  It is quite cute!

Bruce was going to be late coming home from work tonight due to traffic and needing to stop at the Verizon store so I was trying to have dinner ready when he arrived.  Thankfully I had the best little helper to cook right along side me! From Collages

Evan loves to drive his hocus pocus chair that was daddy's when he was a little boy. Today, he decided to take Pooh Bear and George for a ride. It worked out perfectly because Pooh was a great pillow when Evan needed to rest. He even gave Pooh Bear and George a turn driving. Silly little monkey!
