This year we had a freak snow storm in October, before Halloween!  We were inside all day on Saturday watching the storm until later in the afternoon when we decided to take Evan out to play in the snow.  We had record amounts of snow last winter but Evan was really too young to enjoy it much and then there...

I don’t know about you but I’m pretty sure this kid should be a model.  Might be a good way to help pay for college! From Collages

How come I'm not going anywhere?

With the weather getting cooler, we have been snuggling to keep warm a lot more.  Plus it is so fun to play in the pillows! Photo slideshow from the original blog. The slideshow service (Picasa/Flash) has been discontinued, so these photos can no longer be displayed here. </span>

Evan has an “Irish” bear that he was given when he was born with a handmade sweater to match.  Bruce and I named the bear O’Malley.  Lately when I ask Evan to get a sweatshirt so we can go outside, he has been opening his drawer and coming back with his “Malley one”.  Thank you, Adrienne and Michael!

While Daddy was traveling, Evan and I went to Nicole’s one night for dinner and to meet her new puppy, Nala.  It was a rainy day so Nala was even more excited than usual but she was really good.  Nicole thought she would be a little too rough with Evan so Nala spent most of the night in her crate...

Over the last week or so while Daddy was traveling, Evan and I spent some time at Papa and Gramma’s.  We had a few sleepovers and lots of fun.  During that time, Evan developed a new favorite past-time.  It all started when Papa was watching some of Evan’s Youtube videos with Evan on his lap.  After watching Happy and you...
