6 months

Evelyn Jane turned 6 months old today. It's amazing that this sweet little girl has already been in our family for 6 whole months! Time is just flying by! I wanted to make sure I posted to remember this day and the things that she's already doing.

Evie can:
*roll over super fast
*scoot around the floor
*escape the Bumbo seat
*smile at the drop of a hat
*scream with the most passion I've ever seen
*stick her whole fist in her mouth
*laugh whenever her brother makes a face or talks to her
*stand with only a little of our support
*grab glasses right off of your face in a split second
*put any object in her mouth no matter the size
*snuggle sweetly for 2 seconds at a time

She is such a joy to parent. We can already tell that she likes to know what's going on, is super strong and has passion about what she wants. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for this little one. I'm looking forward to what the next 6 months will bring for her and for us. Thank you, God for giving us this precious gift!

More Pics!

Luke "helping" with the dishes. Oh, if he could really do them... *sigh*


Evie playing on the floor. She's already scooting around.

-more to come.

Evie's First Tooth

Not even 6 months old and she already has her first tooth. Wow, she's growing up fast! Here is Evelyn sporting her first little baby tooth:

Getting Settled.

So many people have asked for some updated pics of our house. I'm sorry to say that I'm still not posting them. I really want to take "final" pictures and the house just isn't there yet. I will post some newer ones soon though. In the mean time I thought I would share some pics of us from last night and 2 days ago. It's finally spring like outside, so we were able to fly a kite and play baseball with the kids (well, really just with Luke while Evie watched from her seat.) It was a wonderful night though! We cannot begin to tell you how thankful we are to have this incredible house- projects and all. God has truly blessed us!


The family.


Luke and Evie acting like siblings.


"Luke, who do you have?" "RRR DDD Puppy" (Rome dog puppy). He LOVES this little white dog!


"Hey, Evie, what cha doing?"


"Trying to eat the grass, mom"


Luke loves giving me flowers. I don't care if they're technically weeds. It melts my heart every time he hands one to me. It really is the thought that counts even if they are half blown off "weeds". I love them just the same!


JD flying a kite. We are so thankful to have a yard big enough to fly it in. What a fun evening!


Yes, she still has those crazy eyes, Uncle T.
