Wow. Its been a while since I last posted.

Lots has been going on the past few weeks, mostly with fundraising events at work, so I haven't had the time to update this thing. A few things have happened all at once over the past three weeks:


1. Evan is talking. A lot. he has a "yes" or "no" answer for everything, but the cutest part is that when you tell him no, he says "pweeeeeeze?" (please.) Too cute. He is adding more things to his repertoire of words each day. He does lots of animal sounds now - a horse, lion, kitty, puppy, pig, chicken, bird, monkey, chick...and duck. The duck is interesting. You have to watch the video for it to make sense:



2. Evan has fallen in love. With Thomas the Train. I bought a $3 Thomas movie at Target the other day because he LOVES trains. Since Evan never sits down long enough to watch TV I thought it was three dollars wasted. I was wrong. He has begged (pweeeeeze!) to watch it every day now. I think a few times he even tricked us into watching it twice. Needless to say, he now has a Thomas the Tank wooden engine, which he sleeps with at night and carries around with him all day. Since he never really got attached to a pacifier, blanket or other toy I don't really mind. Its just a bit uncomfortable to roll over on a wooden train at night, but whadda ya' do. He's actually watching the movie right now, which is why I have time to get on the computer for once.



3. Spring is HERE! I am SOOOOO happy! I totally jumped the gun and planted a few veggies in my new Mother's Day gift (a bit early) - my new cedar container garden. I am so excited for the trees to get some leaves, its not even funny. Here is a quick video of us enjoying the weather.

Too cute, Em! We are so excited for spring to arrive as well. Evan will have to get together with Peyton and talk "trains." Brynn wasn't too interested in the Thomas thing when we were with Melissa and Peyton last weekend. I am sure Peyton was wondering what her problem was!

I have the perfect person for Evan. He should come and visit. Do you guys have plans either Friday or Saturday next weekend? You guys should come down and we can get these boys together.
