A long day....

I am happy to report that we are having a much smoother time with Evan lately. As of Wednesday, he is doing much better. (We had been off to a pretty rocky start to summer.)

We had a great weekend of swimming, Target, more swimming, church, and respite at Graceview Baptist's Joy Ministry. Thank you Joy Ministry!!! I finally got to see Hancock!

Anyhow, after all that excitement, it's no wonder that Buddy can't make it through Dora's Backpack Adventure PC game. He didn't even wake up when I took the picture.

PS-check out his right hand...so cute!!

"Blood nose seats"

A few weeks ago, Chris brought Meagan to work with him. They spent the day at Waste Management and went to an Astros game that night. Meagan thought Minute Maid Park was great, but wondered why Daddy paid $20 for their tickets when they could have paid $10 and sat in the much more exciting "blood nose seats".

July 4th

Here we are enjoying the pool before the thumb bending incident.

Rockin' the 'hawk

Evan got a new haircut today. He totally owns it! We only hope that Cassidy approves!

"I want money"

Evan's tooth came out and for the first time, he understood the concept of the Tooth Fairy. We had been talking about the Tooth Fairy all week and what to do. So as soon as that tooth came out, the first words out of his mouth were "I want money!"

He and sister rushed upstairs to put the tooth under his pillow. Lo and behold, the next morning the Tooth Fairy delivered. Evan declared he wanted to go and buy a Scene It DVD game (no surprise), unfortunately, the Tooth Fairy left a measly dollar, when she knows good and well that a Scene It game is 30 bucks!

Charlie & the Chocolate Factory

So, Megan Edens and my Meagan are upstairs watching Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. They're at the beginning of the film when Charlie goes up to his loft bed with the hole in the ceiling. Megan says "I feel so bad for him, he's poor, and he's probably cold with the hole in the ceiling" and my Meagan says "But at least he can see outside."

Nothing like going through life with a half glass full attitude!

"I need some gosh"

Now, we don't exactly know what this means, but we do think it's related to the fact that Evan has a loose tooth. And he is all worked up over this tooth.

Evan's Speech Therapist, Suzanne, has taught Evan to say "I'm hurt, I need help" when appropriate. And it's really working! So this morning after telling me "I'm hurt, I need help" he says, "I need a bandaid on my tooth!" and asks me to kiss it! So I did.
