4 immunization shots

Some days I need a drink, too.

This Saturday marked Evie's two month birthday. I don't have a sappy post written for future Evie to read or to make people tear up (you know who you are). I start to write something in my head, but never get it down on paper or on the keyboard.

We are sorry to have MI Grandma's visit come to an end. There was fun, laughs, and good food, but they are headed back up North to the cold. Before they left, she and Evie had a few last moments in the sun.

Due to technical difficulties then sloth, this did not get posted until late on Saturday. That means I owe y'all one.

This is one happy baby.

Why couldn't she sleep like this at 4 AM (or 5, 6, or 7?)

Evie's Michigan Grandmother made it out of snowy AR, where they were stuck for a day, and was able to shower some love on this sweet girl. These two ladies hit it off right away, and soon enough Grandma had Evelyn sleeping in her arms.

So good. (Okay, so it's only been two days.)

I took this pic in the last light of the afternoon. Evie was completely adorable in her overalls, and was helping me wade through paperwork at the kitchen table. (A cute baby can do a lot for drudge work.)

Happy first of March. We are experiencing many firsts with our first child. Today, we were privy to hear her first laugh.

Here, have mine...

Here are some pictures and video of Evie's nursery. Nanc and I have been working on it for a while, and finally have something to show off!

The cookie jar has been restocked... with homemade Snickerdoodle cookies.

Catchy title, eh?

In trade for our healthy baby, my OB received a knitted uterus. Fair trade, right?

Happy Valentine's Day!

This title probably requires some explanation. Chances are, you stopped by the website to see baby pictures, or maybe something that Nanc knitted.

You will be disappointed by this post. Sorry. But now, curiosity should be gripping you. You need to know. Even though you think that fart humor is base and juvenile, you are drawn to click the 'read more' link below. It's not about farting anymore.

My brother Kevin was here for a quick but welcomed visit last week. We all had a great time, but I think Evie was instantly smitten with her uncle (and vice versa).

I went back to work last week. Everyone at work was eager for news and pictures. While it was good to get back into my projects at work, I was sad to leave Nanc and Evie at home.

To help with the missing-ness, Nanc and Evie video chatted with me during lunches. Well, they video-ed, and I chatted. It was almost like that scene in 2001?

Anyhow, enough of me whining. Nanc also survived hanging out with Evie all day while I was at work. Stop inside for a lightning fast post of pictures and video. And then I have to go to work. Oh-- also, Nancy's brother Kevin is coming to visit and help out this week. She is picking him up from the airport soon. Yay!

Sorry to have abandoned the blog for the last two weeks (plus whatever time B.E. [Before Evelyn]). Thankfully, Matt has been taking good care to post and keep y'all, our family and friends, updated.

Evie turned two weeks yesterday (1/21), and we celebrated by going to her doc and getting the newborn screen test, part II. (Yes, that's more poking the heel for blood for those that are counting.)

For your consideration:

Here are some baby pictures of Nancy and I. Let's try to figure out what features came from what parent.

Evie's been home for one week, and what a week it's been. New pictures inside...
