Busy May & Happy Mother's Day!!

Hey there! So it's May already, and Evie's been plenty busy so far this month! So here are some highlights of Evie's past couple weeks.

We took advantage of the great late Spring weather and used one of Evie's birthday presents (a zoo pass!) to go to the Columbus Zoo with our friends Bethany, Jeff & Glenn. The weather was great, but Columbus IS currently in that just barely too cold morning to just barely too hot afternoon phase, so by later in the day things were starting to get a bit too warm. Still, Evie had a great time taking in the sights & showing off her new shades. She especially enjoyed the flamingos and the aquarium:


Evie remains a very loved little girl, and has gotten lots of fun new presents recently -- like this great Evie-sized picnic table complete with it's own umbrella! Evie loves it - even indoors, she likes sitting and reading or playing with toys... (she also likes to try and STAND on it, much to Mommy & Daddy's chagrin - the girl's a daredevil!)


Evie's friends and family are also doing their best to make sure Evie stays in the "Best Dressed of '07" fashion lists. Here are a just a few of the many beautiful outfits she's gotten recently:




But of course, today is a special day... being Mommy's SECOND official Mother's Day! Evie even got Mommy some new Mommy-themed books to read with her during story time & bedtime. To celebrate the day, we all went to the delicious & extravagant Mother's Day Brunch at The Blackwell. Unfortunately, Grandma V. wasn't feeling well and had to stay home - get well soon Grandma V.! Evie misses you!

The food was incredible as always - it's tough not to eat until it hurts with a spread this good. Evie knows how much Daddy loves the food, and even went so far as to share her own:


Of everyone, Evie was the most sensible at lunch... which meant that she was still hungry for dinner, unlike Mommy & Daddy. So she got to try out her very first TV Dinner! (Gerber Graduates Chicken & Pasta Wheels w/ Peas) She had a good time with it, and didn't even try to flip the whole tray until the very end!


And finally, after such a busy day, what better way to end a great Mother's Day than by snuggling with Mommy!
