Memorial Day Weekend

We had a great long weekend. Nana and grandpa watched Ms Evie while we went to see the DaVinci Code and then grandma watched Evie while we went to church, brunch and ran errands on Sunday. It was nice to get some couple time and good practice for me to be away from Evie since I go back to work in 2 weeks. I can't believe how fast the time is going.

On Saturday night Evie slept from 7:30 until 1 which was really good for her. But on Sunday night she slept from 7:30 until 3:15--just 15 minutes shy of 8 hours! That was a crazy long time and I enjoyed the extra sleep. Max was 'up' with her most of Sunday night (let me go to bed early) so he didn't get to relax as much and said he was getting worried and kept checking on her since it was such a long time for her to sleep. Last night she only slept 4 hours in a row but she slept almost all day yesterday so I guess that's fair! I would love for her to be able to sleep 7-8 hours in a row (but maybe not from 7 p.m.-3...maybe we can get her to shift to a different schedule once both of us are back at work.

Today we got a chest freezer delivered, the driveway was sealed and then tomorrow bulk pick-up is coming and PQ has surgery to remove a weird lump from his side. Thursday we are going to Shadowbox and then Saturday we are going to try out Dream Dinners which seems like a neat idea and hopefully we will like it. Basically, you go and prepare meals there (they have the ingredients all chopped/diced/prepared and you just assemble based on your tastes). The meals can then be frozen until you are ready to eat and each meal serves 4-6 people so we figure we can get 2 dinners out of every meal. We'll let you know how it goes!

We may also go to the Arts Festival and/or the Strawberry Festival this weekend, so busy, busy week!

2 Alaina's, Allison and Evie Playdate, Evie's Big Girl Bed & Evie Smile

Evie has been sleeping in her 'big girl' bed or crib every night since Friday. She is doing really well in there!

Evie has also had her feet sucked by two different Alaina's, which is too funny. We visited the Imbodens on Saturday in Dayton and Alaina I sucked her feet and then on Tuesday I went to the young mom's group at church and Alaina K. was there and also sucked on Evie's feet. Must be something about Alaina's and feet? This is a picture of Evie and Alaina I.

Evie then had a playdate with Allison on Monday. I have posted some of these pictures on the family website in her Evangeline June folder. There are also new pictures in Evie faces and in Evie Fashion Show, all new pics should load to the last page in each folder. Here is my favorite, with Evie tickling Allison's head:

And finally, just some new pictures that I love.

And the best ever...Evie Smiling!

Gotta love it! Make sure you check out Max's post below if you haven't already!

Evie's Photo Shoot

Amy & I took Evie to Sears last night for her first "professional" photo shoot (a gift from Grandma V!). It was a bit hectic there, but even though they were in the middle of a walk-in family, they took us right back because of our appointment, and the pictures went pretty well. The photographer was really nice about working with us and Evie to get good shots, and seemed pretty open to whatever, at least until Evie hit her limit. We got through a decent amount of shots before her melt-down though, so there are some good "professional" pics coming soon.

To get a sneak-peak of the session, head on over to the Sears page. Obviously we didn't order all of them, but those are all the "originals" from the shoot. How can you not enjoy looking at pictures of Evie? She's adorable!

Awww...

'Nuff Said!
