A few random photos...

Oh, how the time flies!

Evan's birthday party...

We had a pre-birthday party for Evan today. We turned his Monday-morning playgroup into a birthday party, which included lots of bubbles, playdough, and punch balloons. It was so fun! Evan was sooooo happy, which left all of us feeling so great! Here are a few photos of the fun...

In the eagle's nest...

This week is Evan's 2nd birthday. I can't believe it!

A sampling of Evan smiles...

Sharing the love...

Happy Valentines Day everyone! Here are a few photos of one of Evan's recent adventures to help you celebrate. :)

Our Christmas Eve dinner centerpiece

The main course (a potato and caramelized onion galette, made with my first true pastry crust, which turned out perfectly flaky, if I may say...it was sooooo good!)

Uncle Brian and Aunt Diana shared the night with us...

...and came with presents!! Just after this photo was taken, Evan was feeling the package when it suddenly started honking. The look of surprise on his face was classic!!

Happy 2011 Everyone!

More photos coming soon (I'll be playing catch-up for awhile)!
