Evans Family Fun

Madison feeding Alice

Alice a few days old and wearing a bili blanket for her jaundice.

The full set up...she had to stay on it 24/7 even to nurse.

It looks like a freaky Halloween picture:-)

But the girls still managed to hold her often.

Aunt Missy arrived to help.

Madison and Abby doing P90X with Aunt Missy.

First smile caught on camera...

Big sister cuddling with Alice.

I was holding Alice when she fell asleep on me.  It was one of those moments where I was filled with joy to be her mother and to have her hear safely.

Of course we had to have our Mardi Gras King Cake...

These are the moments I hope to always capture.  Brian is such a good daddy and was always able to put Alice to sleep at nights.  

Abby playing with all her animals.  Madison arranged all the animals around Abby so she could take her picture with them all.

Abby playing with her doll and doggy.  They had quite the spread to eat.

Abby can spell and write her name, Madison's name, Mom, and dad.

Baby blessing dress

We took the girls to Jungle Java and Brian ended up hurting his pinky in the play structure...go figure the dad gets hurt and not the kids:-)

First time in the Bumbo seat...

This is my little napper.  Any time I want to take a nap Abby is right there next to me in bed.  It started when I was pregnant and napped every day.   Abby was happy to nap with me and would always run and get a book and climb in bed with me.  She was usually asleep before me.

First Smile caught on camera.  She just melts my heart when she smiles.

Saint Patrick's day at Cottage Inn pizza with the Resident Support Network.  

She gets loved on all the time.  She is starting to loose all that nice black hair. 

There are far and few between pictures of me with my girls...Brian took this one for me.  

Story time and bedtime routine.  Getting ready to go to bed.  That book Abby is holding was Brian's book when he was younger.

Becca Greenwood made this onsie for Alice, but by the time I went to put it on her, she was already too big...I just had to get a picture of her with it:-)

Madison and Abby tag team while making frog in the holes.  Grandma McVea taught them how to make them while she was here.  Now they are a specialty of Madison's.  

Grandma Evans sends an Easter package for the girls.  Thanks Grandma!!!

Balloon Creations at Applebees.  They balloon man is there on Tues.  when kids eat free.  My kids are more interested and excited about the balloons than the food or the ice cream.  

Abby's doggy cupcakes.  The girls helped me make them and got pretty creative in their designs.

Happy 5th Birthday Abby.

I love that face...

Doesn't she look so happy and excited?  

She has begun to sport the skunk tail down the middle of her head.  All our babies loose most of their hair, go bald on the sides, and grow it down the middle. 

Getting Bigger:-)
