Professional Photos

It is that time of year again. Evan's 3 year, and Drew's 1 year photos. It is nice because they kind of double as Christmas photos, because I don't think I would go get Christmas photos in and of themselves. The kids did well. It was hard to get them together. Either one was looking away or frowning while the other was smiling, or Drew was crawling off, etc. I am also including Evan's preschool photo. Why they chose a park scene for a class photo is beyond me, but Evan certainly looks very cute.

Drew is 11 mos old, Evan is 3rs old, Santa, Birthday "party" and more...

I took the boys to see Santa. There were no tears, but Drew does the frown face now instead of bursting into tears with strangers. He looks like someone just told him Santa was considering skipping his house this year. Evan talked about what he was going to tell Santa the whole way to the mall, and then he of course clammed up when he got up to Santa. In fact, Santa had to hold Evan's hands down b/c he kept coving his face with them. It was cute.



Drew is 11 Months Old!





One of Drew's favorite things, juice boxes.



James and I stayed up until 12:30am cleaning and decorating for E's party. Then he slept in until 9 the next day and woke up with a 103.5 fever. One very brave friend came, Vince, and his mom, my good friend, Lori. Now we all have the cold and so does Lori. At Evan's 3 year well visit, we found out the fever was probably caused by the double ear infection he had going on. So now with antibiotics, Evan is feeling much better, while we are all in the middle of the cold. Evan was also 36 inches tall and 28 lbs. He was 30 lbs a few weeks ago, but he lost weight from a couple colds. He was also right on track developmentally. He is getting his appetite back though, just today for breakfast he had 2 waffles, yogurt, a cinnamon roll, a glass of milk, and a glass of orange juice.





Evan only had a couple of bites of pizza.



Evan and his buddy, Vince.



Trying hard to blow out those candles. I made "Lego Cakes" Betty Crocker's look better than mine, but hey, they have charm.


Not feeling very well at this point.



After about 2 presents and 15 mintues after this, Evan asked to go down for a nap. Party was over.



Drew had fun!



He loves balloons.



Masterpiece.



One of Evan's favorite new toys, his Grandma E gave him.



Evan is Three Years Old!





Drew playing the cymbals.



Evan's way of sharing his dump truck. Drew climbs in and Evan pushed him around. He is really good at turning. We have such a small house that a long time ago I taught Evan about how big a deal it was and how FUN ;) it was to turn right before you run into something and he has been doing it since.
