A Week With Family

So much has happened this week; where do I begin?! This post will start with events from last Sunday, June 22. Chris left to teach a band camp at SHSU on the 22nd, and would not return until the 26th. So, I left as well to go visit with my Mom and spend some time with her.

Also, before anyone thinks anything, I feel terrible about the big scratch on Evan's forehead! I was a little late trimming his fingernails, and he cut himself while nursing. I feel terrible!

Here are some pictures from our time down south:

Evan fell asleep on the bed while playing with Chris one morning


While we were there, Evan outgrew one of his outfits. We measured him and he's grown 4 inches since birth!! He's now 24 1/2 inches long. Can you believe it?! Our little boy is getting big, literally!

Yesterday Chris' sister, Elke, and her 4 daughters drove up from the Valley to visit and meet Evan. Her youngest daughter is only 5 weeks older than Evan, so it is really cute watching the two babies together!

Here are some photos of the cousins meeting for the first time:

We made it back home safe and sound yesterday afternoon, but I just had to add this into the post. Chris and I have been reading to Evan since he was first born, and he just loves it! Here he is with Chris enjoying a good book:


Evan loves to read with his Dad!


He also loves looking at the pictures!


Aren't they too much?!
