Blair Time

The other night we had some Blair time with
Walter in town. Walter thrilled Evan by being
involved in his project.
Here is Evan at work. Note: this is serious business.

Walter and his dog Porter.

The whole scene.

Round II

Here are two adorable little buddies turning on the charm!
Elizabeth is JT's little sister, and Sam our little brother.
They are just three weeks apart and both sweet as pie.
Here they are hangin' out at the table while the mamas
chat and the big boys play.

There couldn't be a sweeter second round of children!

Long Lost Friends

Ever since having kids, its a bit difficult to get together with
friends now that there are so many of us, and we are working
with limited time frames.

Last night we got together here in the afternoon to play
and eat a pancake dinner. It was so much fun.
It was so much fun that we were together until 7:40!
Three years ago I would have rolled my eyes at this...
Now it is just a fact of life. :) Funny how things are in
this toddler/baby phase of life.

Here is a glimpse of our time together.
I was so excited to get a picture of the girls.
We all have boys so far... so this rare shot of
us sitting down had to be captured!

With 6 boys under three in perpetual motion...it looks a little something like this.

One Sam...

Coming right up!
I can't believe this little man will be one in a month.
Isn't he precious?

Evan's Prayer

It has warmed my heart to hear Evan
burst out into prayer. I've overheard this
a few times now:

"Dear Jesus. Thank you for the animals.
I love you God."

Just in time for Thanksgiving, a little heart that
is truly grateful for animals.

Snippet

Yesterday morning I heard Evan come to the door and say,

"Mom. I'm ready to get up Mom.
Mom? I am ready to get uh-up."

So I went to greet him and begin the day saying, "Good morning sweetie"

His response: "A baby bear is called a cub."
Then he slammed the door in my face.

And so the day began!

I am still giggling about this.

In other news, Sam discovered sticking out his tongue.
I love looking at him and going back and forth sticking out our
tongues. I will post a picture if I get one...but trust me, it is
adorable.

Looking back...

Remembering how much we've grown in a year.
One year ago (11/2009)

Two years ago (11/2008)

I'm stunned too baby Evan. :)
