A few pictures from Evan’s first bath without the newborn mesh netting that goes in his little tub. We are going to have to start giving him a bath in the bath tub pretty…he splashes water all over the kitchen! Such a big boy! This is pretty neat! Look at all the room I have

After a low key morning, complete with an eight and six-mile run for Bruce and I, respectively, we went to the Skarin family homestead for a family gathering where Grandpa Bob’s cousin, Kim and her husband Doug put on quite the spread of desserts. They live in a lovely house that has been in the Skarin family for over 80...

Due to the extreme heat that Chicago is having, Bruce and I decided to opt out of the architectural boat tour of Chicago. While it sounded like an exciting and informative way to see the city, we weren’t sure if we would be able to escape the heat and keep Evan cool enough. Instead, the three of us drove into...

Today was a very special day. Not only was it Omi and Great-Grandmommie’s birthday but Evan was able to meet most of the extended Skarin family. We spent the day at Great Aunt Linda and Great Uncle Jim’s house and were able to introduce Evan to Aunt Kristina, Uncle Ty and Hannah, Great-Grandmommie and Great- Grandpa, Jim and Linda’s family...

Evan’s first plane ride took him to Chicago for a Skarin family reunion. I was a little nervous about traveling with him and all of the gear that accompanied us but it was much easier than I imagined. It was nice to be able to fly out of T.F. Green in the middle of the afternoon, a relatively slow time...

Little boy, big bed! When can I get one of these, Mom?

This past weekend Evan spent a lot of time with Gramma and Papa. Friday, I had training at school to attend so they came up to baby-sit and then we all went to Tony’s Pizza for fried scallops. (Sorry Bumpa! Next time we will be sure you are with us!) Saturday night a bunch of us went out to celebrate...

Can you believe that Evan is three months old today? We can’t! We gave him a bath to get him ready to spend the night with Gramma and Papa and let his hair dry all crazy (as you can see in the pictures). Probably not the best decision as it made his hair a little goofy for his three month...

Today my good friend Leah drove up from NYC to meet Evan and visit with us. While we were waiting for her to arrive, Evan had a little chat with Wally and explained to him what the Red Sox need to do to turn it around for the remainder of the season. Evan also rolled on to his side for...

I think the pictures mostly speak for themselves here. Evan will likely be more computer savvy than I am by the time he is three! What are you doing, Dad? Can you teach me how to surf the web? Let's update your facebook status!
