Three Months To Go

Mother's Day

Evelyn knows just what it takes to make Steph happy. Nothing says "I love you" quite like a pretty flower and 105 individually wrapped Twizzlers.



Happy Mother's Day!

Fingerpainting

Evy took advantage of the warm weather and set up a fingerpainting studio on the back porch. She was able to keep most of the paint on the paper.



She painted a few colorful pictures and then posed with one of her favorites.



Then she went inside for a bath. I wonder if Jackson Pollock's mom made him go straight to the tub after creating one of his masterpieces.

Another Green Shirt

Remember the green argyle sweater? Here is the summertime version (it's too hot for a sweater).



Evelyn is excited that she's going to be a big sister. Click for a first look at her younger sibling.

Four months to go!

Easter, Continued

Evelyn had another full weekend of Easter fun. She hunted for Easter eggs, helped break open a piñata, and saw all seven of her cousins in seven hours.



Evy was also able to hold baby Jefferson for the first time. We managed to get a smile out of both of them.

We've added more pictures to the Easter set on Flickr. Happy Easter, continued!

Easter 2009

We spent yesterday getting ready for Easter. You know - coloring newspapers, hands and even Easter eggs.



Then this morning, after some bunny shaped pancakes, Evy started her search for the hidden plastic eggs and her Easter basket. The background of this picture may give some clues to their super-secret whereabouts...

Paper Evy

Can you tell which one is the real Evy and which one is the life-sized outline that is colored in with markers?

Scientific Sunday

We visited the Carnegie Science Center and Evelyn had a blast.



She played with everything from the water tables to the shadow maker to the cloud cauldron, and she even explored the inside of a real submarine.

I think the adults had a good time, too. More of our science fun is on Flickr.

Birthday Times Three

Evelyn celebrated her third birthday with a three part, week-and-a-half long extravaganza. It started with a weekend trip to Central Pennsylvania to share some fun with her cousin Donovan (their birthdays are five days apart).



Her actual birthday was packed with excitement. She rode the carousel at the mall, went out to lunch, explored the toy store, and ate dinner at a restaurant where she got three balloons and a special sundae after her meal.

Tonight finished the third stage of Evy's third birthday celebration. Pizza, cake, and ice cream were followed by staying up late to play with her new toys.



All this celebrating made for one very tired three year old. An extravaganza will do that to you.

Look Who's Three!
