It's Been a While...

We've been busy!  Evan started preschool the first week in January and its been going fantastic!  Evan is a bit on the wild side, so of course there have been a few issues getting him to settle down and not interrupt the other children while they are working, but all-in-all it has been a fantastic experience for him (and us!)  There was a great article in the local paper about the new school with Evan's picture in it.  I'll see if I can get it to upload. 

I'm not sure what's been the best thing about school - the fact that Jeremy gets to sleep more than 4.5 hours, that Evan is tired and on a regular schedule, or the friends that he has made!  We went to the zoo and the Children's Museum on two separate occasions with his new best friend, Mary Ellen.  She is absolutely adorable - and quiet/well behaved - so she and Evan get along nicely.  I'm hoping she rubs off on him a bit...

Here are some highlights from the past month:

Evan was so excited to dress up as a fireman!


Jammin' with some new friends (they were watching themselves on a TV screen while they played.)  Ever since we played Rock Band at the Dahl's Evan always wants to "be the mica-ro-fone."

Blowing some awesomely big bubbles!
Fishing with Mary Ellen
"I'm a turtle!"

Hanging out with our buddy, DJ

Ice skating at the Athletic Field with Beth and DJ.  I forgot how hard this was!

Once the sun set and the moon came out we figured it was time to head for home.  The boys had fun but were a little frustrated with their first ice skating experience.  I think Evan thought he could "run on the ice" like the hockey players he sees on television!
