One Month To Go!

Late Bloomers

We planted a few flowers today. I know it's two months late, but the weather makes it still feel like spring outside...

Kennywood '09

Evelyn visited Kennywood Park this weekend. She expanded her portfolio of rides this year and now counts the Whippersnapper among her favorites.

Evy also had fun driving everyone around. She told us that it was her turn to drive since she is always the rider in our car. Thank goodness for the guide beam in the middle of the ride's path...



The lines were short and the weather was much better than predicted. Everyone had a great time.

A Sparkling Smile

Evelyn enjoyed her first visit to the dentist today. That's right, she enjoyed it. She chatted up the front office ladies before making her way back to the room with the purple chair.



Evy hopped right up and had a conversation with the hygienist. After putting on the special sunglasses, her teeth were counted (20) and cleaned with the tickling toothbrush (using cherry paste). They sparkled...



The dentist came in for a final check and he said that everything looked great. Then Evy was sent on her way with a bag full of goodies which included a little tube of toothpaste, a new toothbrush, four stickers and a parachute toy. It's no wonder she enjoyed her visit.

Happy Fourth!

Beach Week

Evelyn had a great time at the beach last week. She spent a lot of her time covered in sunscreen while she ran away from the waves or dug holes in the sand.



We even got out to the links for a round of golf.

All of this fun (plus an ice cream cone with sprinkles at the Boardwalk) can make a three-year-old tired. Very tired...

Another Purple Day

Evelyn declared today to be another purple day. So when we went to Rita's for their Saturday night car cruise, it was pretty obvious which car would be her favorite.

City Of Champions!

Pittsburgh is having quite a year. The Steelers won the Super Bowl in February and last night the Penguins won the Stanley Cup!

Evelyn was their good luck charm, making sure to watch the beginning of each game during their playoff run.

So does this mean that in October the Pirates will win the World Series? Well, two out of three isn't bad...

Porch Picnics

One of Evelyn's favorite warm weather activities is the "porch picnic." It's exactly what you think it is. We sit on the porch and eat at Evy's picnic table. The menu tonight included corn on the cob.



And sometimes we end with an ice cream cone.



Yum!
