19 months

Star Student

Thank you all for your prayers. They were answered. Evie got a star on her report today because she FINALLY ate. She ate 4 chicken nuggets. GO BIG GIRL! Hopefully she will keep up the good work this week.

First Time at Day Care Drama

Our Evelyn Faith was such a big girl this past week at Arlington Baptist Church Childcare. It was her first experience with a routine and with other kids her age and in a new environment. She struggled a bit, but she is so brave! This picture is of her first day outside the church holding Brownie before going in. Brownie has been her little "safety net" to hold every second of the day.

Dear God, Please hold our Evie this week close to you as she is still adjusting to this new setting. Please give her teachers guidance and a genuine love for Evie so that she will feel comforted and loved there. Please help Evie to eat her meals and take her naps there without fear. Help her to smile and laugh and have fun. I pray each day this week goes so quickly from the time I drop her off to the time I get to pick her up. So that way, she and I can spend the rest of the day with Daddy at home having fun! She is so precious to us, and as much as I worry about her and love her sooo much, God I know you love her EVEN MORE than we do!

We love you Evie (thank you for being so brave)!!
Love,
Mama and Daddy

A little bit of our Summer

Evie took on swim lessons at the wonderful University of North Florida.

She thinks she is so big, that she tries on Mama's flip flops.

She hits the weight room in her spare time when we are helping Daddy at

his baseball facility.

Of course she can't miss her Mama's favorite place the BEACH. Here she chases birds, gets REALLY dirty, and enjoys splashing in the ocean.

NO PICTURES but UPDATES

Sorry, I have lost the cord that connects my camera to the computer to upload pics.
But, wanted to update everyone on Evelyn Faith "Evie".
She took her first swim lessons at UNF in June.
She has been to the potty THREE times.
She weighed in at 18 months of a whopping 19 pounds, and is in the 10th percentile for height.
Evie LOVES outside, dogs, noodles, and Sesame Street.
I'll try to retrieve a cord soon enough to show pics of our summer together.
Oh, and we bought her a PINK glove. (look out USA softball team here comes your new shortstop)
***Evie's sister is 18 weeks old this week, we get the official sonogram on Tuesday***

Baby Sister on the way

Evie enjoyed her dancing at the wedding with her Daddy. She better have, because she has competition coming in December with her new baby sister. :) Isn't she beautiful? She and her Daddy were styling being the best man and the best man's daughter in the wedding. Congrats Patrick and Lauren!!

Mother's Day 2009

Evelyn Faith sure made Mother's Day great. It started in the morning at the Jacksonville Zoo, then back home to work in the yard, then to church in the afternoon, finally to Mellow Mushroom for pizza, pizza! Evie is an amazing daughter and she and her Daddy sure gave me a beautiful card. I'll have to post it soon!
