First Easter Egg Hunt

Last week Evan participated in an Easter egg hunt with his friends from church. The organizers had a special area for the young children, which included small beach balls and other toys to find, as well as Easter eggs. Once Evan found a beach ball, he really happy. I think he would have been content with simply finding the beach ball, but we did convince him to gather a few more eggs and toys! Evan also saw the Easter bunny for the fist time. He was not scared, but I wouldn't say he liked the Easter bunny either!

A Wheely Fun Day

Carl, Evan, and I spent the afternoon downtown. We had a great lunch at Luigi's and then headed to Waterfront Park. We rented a bike from Wheely Fun bikes. We all had a great time riding around the park. Evan REALLY liked the ride and smiled the entire time. He also waved to everyone at the park. During our ride we stopped at one of the playgrounds to let Evan play.

Daddy gets Evan ready to ride.



Here we are on our bike ride.




Evan had fun playing at the park.




Evan's Bonnie Mom and Grandpa wanted to play with Evan tonight, so Carl and I went on a date. We enjoyed our time together and Evan enjoyed spending time with his grandparents!


This is a picture of me and Carl on our date!

Spring Break

It was spring break here in Louisville this past week. Carl, Evan, and I were able to spend a lot of time together and have a lot of fun. We went to the zoo and the park. We played outside in our backyard and we also had a couple of lunch dates downtown on the days that Carl had to work. We also spent some time with Aunt Heather, Jackson and Caleb, as well. It was a really great week!

Here are a few pictures of Aunt Heather, Jackson, Caleb, Carl, Evan and me at the zoo. Everyone had great time!







Here are some pictures of Evan playing on the playground at Waterfront Park. He loves to be outside!

Rachael's Newest Hair Style

I got my second haircut last week. I also got my hair colored. I feel much more like myself/normal now! My hair is actually pretty long, but it is so curly that it is hard to tell. Here is a picture of "the new me!"

Spring is Here!

Now that warmer weather is here, Evan LOVES to be outside. He likes to play with his toys, go on walks in his wagon, and simply explore the world around him.

Here are some recent pictures of Evan playing outside.




This picture of Evan relaxing as he rides in his wagon and sips his milk makes me laugh. He is such a funny guy!



Evan watched Daddy work in the yard and then did some of the same things! How cute!

Happy Valentine's Day

We had a great Valentine's Day and we hope that you all did as well. As you can see from the pictures below, Evan received some balloons to help him celebrate. He absolutely loved them and played with them for hours!

Evan's 1st Birthday Party

Evan was FINALLY well enough to celebrate his birthday on February 1st. He had a great time spending time with his family and celebrating his big day! Evan really loved opening his presents, playing in his new pool of balls with his cousin Jackson, and eating his cake!

Carl and I feel so blessed to have Evan. He brings us so much joy and happiness!
