Pacman

So I noticed the comments were running low on my blog so I put up the Pacman game. Katie has already discovered it. I figured I needed to add something to draw my readers in, even if they play Pacman and just glance at Evan every once in a while. I am trying to post more too and I leave other people comments. After my computer outage for two weeks and posting about once a week, I lost people. Enjoy the game and be sure to visit us often!

Looking for dry weather

Hope you are staying dry with all of our recent rain!

Happy Belated Birthdays to Katy and Jimmie on Sunday! We love you!

Enjoy the simple things

Evan would like to take a moment for his own public service announcement about enjoying life:

Smile at all times,

Enjoy crawling back,

and forth.

Celebrate your accomplishments,

(he did this all by himself)

and enjoy the outdoors.

(Especially the swings at the park)

Evan wishes you all a great weekend... and me too!

What a weekend!

First, we started out Saturday evening with my 10 year high school reunion. Good ole Berkmar people know how to drink too! Just about everyone was toasted at the end of the night. I don't drink so it was probably a good thing I was in charge of the money at the end of the night. Four hours of an open bar costs a lot of money for 100 people.

After we woke up on Sunday and were 3 hours late to a birthday party, we came home and put Evan in his pool. He enjoyed it for the most part.

He's pulling himself up now, which includes pulling himself out of the pool. If he can reach your hand or arm, he'll take hold, stand up, and try to walk out in a heartbeat. We are about to be in so much trouble.

Sunday evening ended with an evening at La Cazuela. Beers and Margaritas all around, except for Evan and me. He's wearing the jacket because since he is so tall, we figured he won't fit in it when it gets cool again. My mom bought him his "My First Levis" outfit so we gave it a one time shot.

And lastly, I thought this was a cute shot even though he wasn't looking at me. He was just content at this moment.

Our weekend was good but way too much packed into 48 hours. My mom took care of Evan for most of it and we appreciate and love you so much for that. Thank you!

To Andy, Brandi, and Ethan, we are so sorry we were 3 hours late to your 2nd birthday party. We're losers, we know it. That's what you get when you stay out too late on a Saturday night and lose the party invitation. We owe you dinner soon!

To everyone else that reads this fabuloso blog, lots of love to you! Have a great week!

Trying new things

Who knew that this...

and this....

Could do all this....

Stand and type

Try new foods

Make a mess!

Climb on people

and get into everything!

Cheers! Hope you all are having a wonderful week.

We Missed You All!

Trying to master the crawl




Elmo and Evan


So glad to see you all again

We are definitely back and we missed you all. First, we had a dead cable line in the yard. Next, it was replaced but had an internet block (go figure!). Lastly, we had a dead modem sometime between the 3 or 4 service calls Charter made. Either way, it is all fixed and better than ever. I will admit, I'm very internet dependent and I was going crazy without it.

Evan is 7 months today! I can't believe how fast he's growing. He is trying to crawl right now and still working on his first tooth. He has gotten very tall, somewhere around 29 inches now, which puts him in one year old clothes. He also weighs 19 lbs, 1 oz. This year is flying by but we are enjoying every minute.

I want to send out huge congratulations to my friends Erin and Sarah who are both pregnant, again! Erin, Brent, and Lana will have add a new member to their family in late February or early March next year and Sarah, Chris, Katie, and Aidan will add to their family around Christmas.

I'll try and put a few more posts up over the next week since I haven't had a chance to blog in 2 weeks! Blog with you soon!

Hmmm... blogger won't let me title this post. If they would have it would be, "Charter Still sucks!" Today, I told off the Charter rep because we were supposed to have service again as of Friday. That didn't happen and the second promise of today sure didn't happen. Sometime between 8 and 10 AM tomorrow, we hold yet another promise of restored internet and phone service.

My mom has been wonderful and let us come over every night to check email and the internet but I'm tired of it. A few things have happened over the last week that I just haven't gotten a chance to blog about.... Evan's lovely cold and trip to the doctor on Saturday for nothing, me quitting the wedding guild (yay!) and us looking for another church, me trying to collect high school reunion money without a computer with two weeks to go, and just other non-important things. I hope to blog again with pictures and I hope it's tomorrow!

Love you all!

Computer's Down

I won't be posting all week because our Charter service is down which means our home phone is down and so is our internet access. Don't get Charter, they suck! I'll read your blogs when I visit my mom's house, otherwise, the stupid people will come out for service on Friday. We might cancel them before that too. Have a good week!
