Quick Story

We had a very busy weekend. Saturday we went to a puppy party on Speedwell Manor - gorgeous old mansion built in 1834. But here is the funny story...
So yesterday Robin and I took the kids to get a few things in Target. A thunderstorm started so we had to kill some time until it passed, so we took them to the toy aisle. Robin showed Evan those big, marble, bouncing balls (which Evan loves). So Evan begins throwing them/playing with them. Meanwhile a whiny 6/7 year old walks buy with his mom and Evan proceeds to whack the crying kid in the head with a ball. I apologized profusely to his mom, grabbed Evan and disappeared. Nice how my one year old picks on others...

Here is a picture of my little bully at the puppy party...

Goldie Locks are Gone

THese Pictures are from our stay at the Grove Park Inn in Ashville, NC. I can't wait to go back. We spent all day at the spa. We felt new and young again!! then we came home to Evan.




We had to cut his hair, it was time, we both came to this conclusion independantly of each other and agreed as we discussed Evan's hair had to be cut. I'm not going to lie, it was bad, he yelled, wanted the comb or scissors. He wanted to crawl around in 30 years of strangers hair that had always and will always remain in that floor. It was gross to see little black hairs stuck to Evan fully knowing Evan has blonde hair and that hair off a stranger would most likely end up in my son's mouth!
Great times, we'll get aunt Dana to break out the flobie.

12 Month Pictures

Here are some pictures of Evan's 12 month photo shoot. This was not as difficult as the previous shoot.
We took Evan to get his hair cut last weekend, so those cute little curls are gone and he looks more like a little boy. Several people were complimenting us on how beautiful our little girl is. I guess they think that only little girls have hair that pretty. Evan's hair still has wave in it, so I think if we grow it back out the curls will come back. I'll post those pictures later - it is too tramatic to relive right now. He screamed the WHOLE time...

Going to GREAT grandma's

We just returned from my grandmother's house. It is cool that Evan has a great grandparent to get to know. We had a great time and Kitty fixed us some lunch that was nobody's business. She is the best cook in the world.
Evan had his 1 year check up and the kid is off the charts...
Weight 25.5 lbs
Height 31.5 inches (not real accurate b/c he would not let go of my neck)
Evan did not cooperate very well, it is kind of embarrassing when you're getting manhandled by your 1 year old. But he is strong and for that I am greatful.
