Furlough Day!

We had another furlough day today so Billy and I decided to take off to Brunswick and Jekyll. Kim and Evan came along for the ride. Evan was excited about getting to go to the beach. On the way he chattered about what he was going to do....He planned to make sand castles and draw rectangles! He was extremely good about having to wait so long to get there. He fell asleep as we were leaving Brunswick to head over to Jekyll so we rode around the island for awhile then finally stopped in the historic section. Kim and I walked over to the sweet shop to get some ice cream and left Billy and Evan( still sleeping) in the truck. We paid for our ice cream and headed out to the shop and saw Evan coming up the steps of the shop. He was ready for some ice cream too. We got him a chocolate cone and walked around while he ate it...what a face he had when he finished! Then we headed over to the beach. Above are a few shots we took of him on the beach. I think he ran about ten miles up and down that beach. When we got home he told his daddy that he had fun!

A Sunday Afternoon

Jacob, Kim and Evan had lunch with us today. After lunch, Kim told Evan is was time for a nap. Of course, he said "No!" Kim told him he could play for 5 minutes then he had to take his nap. Here is his "5 minutes" captured on video. At the end of his "5 minutes" , he went peacefully with his mama. He threw us kisses and told us to "catch" then said "I love you so much!". Too sweet!

Super Evan

Evan has been sick for the past couple of days with hand foot and mouth disease. His mouth has blisters in it and is very painful. Yesterday afternoon he began feeling better and came over with his mom to visit us. He did some painting with water colors and made some beautiful pictures for me and his mom. Then he had his mom paint him some penquins and a monster. While he was painting I had made some bread in a jar for gifts and Kim had cut some cloth for me to use to decorate the jars. She tied the left over cloth around Evan's neck and he suddenly became "Super Evan". He was just a blur running through the house with his cape flying behind him.

Supper Table

.
Sunday afternoon I went over to Jacob and Kim's to help Kim make some snowmen for Christmas presents. When Evan got up from his nap he joined our snowman making project. We got a step stool and pulled it up to the counter so he could help. I would hold the sock open and he put the beans into the sock one handful at a time then pushed the stuffing down into the sock. His whole arm would disappear into the sock when he put the stuffing in! After he had filled the sock with stuffing he held it up for me to tie and trim the top. Then he passed the snowman to his mama. We let her do the creative, artistic parts. Evan did help put on a few noses! When we finished our snowman project I told Kim I was going to head home. Evan wanted to go to Mimi's house so, of course, I couldn't say no! We buckled up in the car and headed to Mimi's house. By the time we got home it was about supper time so we got us a bite to eat. Evan didn't want to sit at the big table and I didn't want him running around the house while he ate. So, we got a bit creative and made him his own private dining area. Evan was happy and so was Mimi!

Daddy's Cars

Billy made these wooden cars along with a wooden ferry boat for Jacob when he was not much older than Evan is now. Jacob and Courtney had many hours of fun with these. As you can see from the pictures Evan enjoys them just as much now!

Tool Time

Billy made this tool box for Jacob when he was a small boy. Evan absolutely loves it! He uses the tools to fix all kinds of things...even his horsey!
