Mr. Loyal...

Another puzzle... If you look closely in this picture you will
see the snout of a very loyal dog poking out between the
railings. Gus has always been one to spread
himself around to give equal time to each person in our home.
If Andy is in one room and I am in another room, it is
not uncommon for him to split the difference between the
rooms and just plop down right there.

He now has a new challenge with Evan in the house.
Here we were downstairs and Evan upstairs in his bed.
The solution... half way up the stairs!
I always knew he was a good dog, but I never expected
him to be so good at math. Good dog.

Notice Anything New?

All of these pictures have something in common...

If you look closely... you may see something tiny...

Found it yet?

Its my two new bottom teeth!

Buddies

Today we got to hang out with Amy and Kai.

Here are some pictures of them checking each other out under the jungle.

Look how grown up they are since their baby baby days.

Here they are at one month old (Kai) and three weeks old (Evan).
Check out these faces!

Delight...

Evan's Baptism

This past Sunday was Fathers Day, and what better gift than
to have Evan baptized. Here are some photos of the actual baptism.

Pool Time!

some photos of swim time this weekend!

Favorite Times

One of my favorite times with Evan is spent reading.
Andy was home to capture this moment together.

The Sounds of Evan

For those of you who live far off, I want you to have the full

Evan experience. In my mind you have not had the full experience

until you have heard this boy. He can make some noise. Enjoy.

Played with these today...

Evan was captivated by these bubbles today!
I was too...

Elf!

The other day Evan was in his johnny jump up and what he really
wanted to do was chew the sides. He has two little teeth popping in,
so it must feel good to do this! It tickled me though because to me
he just looked like a little elf fella.

Mama's got guns...

Today Evan and I went for his four month check up at the doctors office. Andy and I have been dying to find out how tall and heavy Evan is. We resist measuring him ourselves b/c it is such fun to find out... Well... turns out I've been carrying around a little sack o' taters...

At two months Evan was 23 inches and 13 lbs 14 oz. At four months he is 26.5 inches and 18 lbs and 3 oz! He also got 4 shots today, which is not fun, but I am so relieved it is over. He cried for just a minute and then was calm again... so glad that is finished.

Will post some pictures again soon!

Disinfecting Doorknobs?

Recently I have noticed that I have changed. I wash my hands constantly and obsess over things that used to be simple decisions. My most recent obsession began this morning when I realized in horror that I have never disinfected my doorknobs. This was spurred on by the hand washing. Let me explain... You see, I wash my hands all the time to make sure that I'm not passing any unwanted germs along to Evan. (this I think is good). It occurred to me this morning however, that I do not ever disinfect my doorknobs, so as soon as I touch one, all my hand washing is for naught. So I will in fact spend some time this morning disinfecting my doorknobs to remedy the situation. And rest assured if you visit my house, your hands will not be infected by my.... doorknobs. I didn't really see this one coming!

Can't believe

He's this big! Evan loves those two fingers!

Piggies in the wind

This is my view on walks!
