What happened to the summer?

Whew!!!! Hello again, dear blog readers...it's been too long! :)

It's been a very busy and very good summer. We've enjoyed a long visit from Grandpa Butler, we almost bought a condo, we had a good friend visit from Germany, Mark had minor surgery on his hand, and Evan had lots of firsts and is running and talking more than ever. Hopefully I will have time to blog about all of these, but at a minimum here are some photos and a promise to be a better blogger from this point forward:

Evan discovers Mommy's cosemetic bag


Evan's introduction to Legos


Mark shows off his cool cast


Evan and the giant redwoods in Muir Woods


We visited the Little Farm in Tilden Park, and Evan got to see all the farm animals that we've been pointing to in his books. The excitement in his eyes was incredible to see, as he made connections in his brain between his books and the live animals.


Evan steals a piece of lettuce from a cow.

The Evan-redwoods photo is my favorite! Evan's gotten so big and looks so strong!!

Almost bought a condo?! That sounds like an exciting story! Do tell!!!!

I hope Mark's hand is healing!

I've been planning for a new blog, but I don't think it will ever happen. On the brighter side of blogging, I am taking over Lyon Eats from Kari. It's only a trial but nonetheless it's been fun to be back in the blogosphere!!
