Waiting

It has been a while (six months maybe?!) since I posted anything here. Oops. I am sitting at the doctor's office waiting on what is hopefully my final appointment before this baby boy is born (since today is his due date ...). We are really hoping to meet this little guy soon!!

While we are really excited to meet him and have two kids, we have really really been enjoying precious time with Evie lately. She is so full of personality and gives us so much joy every day. She is a smart kid who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it. She has figured out how to take off her pajamas and sleep sack (really special because this week she also took off her poopy diaper. Dad discovered her sans diaper in bed one morning and it was not pretty). She has lately decided that she likes jewelry, which is pretty cute. She has little habits and rituals that are pretty cute - like howling at dogs outside with dad, putting lotion of any kind on, cuddling with mom while watching lady and the tramp most afternoons (only for the last week, I promise), reading a million books before bedtime, putting her own shoes and socks (and often other clothes) on ...the list could go on and on. But before we start with tons of pics of the baby once he is born, here are some pics of Ev from the last few months :)


Helping dad with some planting yesterday




She wanted to wear her Halloween costume this week ....


And here she is showing off her jewelry and purse :)






We went to the zoo last week and she had a great time on the carousel and the proceeded to stick her whole self into a fountain. So she wore mom's sweatshirt home :)


Had a fun Easter with the Matthews clan... And loved meeting baby Lydia, Ev's newest cousin :)


Super fun visit with girlfriends from college here :)





And before that we went to Florida, since Steve had a conference there ...





Before that, Evie had a major obsession with sledding, even when there was no snow ...


So that brings you back a few months to see what we've been up to .... And now, we go back to waiting for Evie's brother to make his grand appearance :)
