Auntie Jenn's Visit

Evan had a great time this week when Auntie Jenn came to visit. She even slept in his room! So exciting. He particularly enjoyed: her Wii, her laptop, and her cellphone. She also taught him his phone number...ask him - he really knows it!

Lunch time fun!

What a kid! He makes us laugh!

"My God is so BIG, so strong and so mighty, there's nothing my God cannot do for you!"

Around the house

We had a full house on Monday. There's Darren, Aurora (the little one I babysit), Job (a friend who came to visit for the morning) and Evan. We had a great time!

Evan enjoyed crawling with Job on the floor.
We all watched two squirrels try to eat from our supposedly squirrel-proof bird feeder.
Evan and Darren had their first bath together.

I was putting some new socks on Darren, ones that didn't have any pictures on them (ie. animals, hockey etc.). Evan hadn't seen socks without pictures before, so he asked about them. I told him they were plain socks. A week later, I was putting the same socks on Darren. Evan pointed and said "Look mommy. Darren has airplane socks." It took me a few minutes to realize that they were the same plain/plane socks we were talking about last week!!

Happy 30th Birthday Uncle Steve!!

More pictures

This little guy has the goofiest grins. He thinks Evan is hilarious, which Evan just loves.

This is one way to get around!

Evan loves to read stories. We have one in French, just talking about the names of objects in nature (ie. carrots, trees...). When I read it to him, I point, and say, "Les carrottes." Evan said to me very politely, "Excuse me, mommy. Those are carrots."

Lunch Time

Now that Darren is older, he and Evan can entertain eachother while I'm getting food ready. It makes life a LOT easeier!

Uncle Dave / The Airport

The escalater and stroller were more interesting than the planes!

We're back...finally...

Sorry it's been a while. Here's a picture from Christmas at Grandma's.

Who needs toys when you have a dishwasher box??

So, Darren is rolling everywhere now. It happened overnight, by about New Years' Day. (in the video, I had just cleaned the carpets, which is why there is no furniture...lots of space to play!!). Now he's rolling even more. And he got his first tooth last week, and the second is coming up today. Lots of fun. He's generally pretty happy, though.

Evan is still talking non-stop. We had friends coming over last night. He said to me, "I'm going to say to them 'Not bad - how are you?' " He thinks that's how you ask someone how they are. So he asked them over and over.

We were reading a story about dinosaurs. Each page talked about a different part of the dinosaur (his head, his tail, his scales). We got to the last page which talked about his horn. Evan said, "Beep his horn??"

Eric had some training on Saturday, so we drove him there. Evan wanted to see Daddy drive the training. Then he wanted to ride the training with Daddy.

We picked Uncle Dave up from the airport on Saturday (sorry, no pictures). All week, Evan drove his trucks and cars to Korea to see Uncle Dave. He asked me where Uncle Dave keeps his plane. At the airport, Evan loved the escalators and the wide open space for running around. It was too dark to see the planes, but he had a great time. And he was thrilled to see his Uncle Dave! Welcome back, Dave!
