Party On

Evan's cousin, Landon, turns six on October 30. Time flies! He had a party to celebrate - complete with sack races, balloons, cake, and candy. We all need a nap now!





Evan also went to the Halloween Party at the Zoo again this year. He was the only kid in a Doctor costume. He likes to be original.

Vacation!

We hadn't taken a family vacation since our first anniversary, so this was a long overdue trip. We traveled to Rochester for a family wedding, then on to Canada the rest of the week. Evan enjoyed his first airplane travel, complete with an adventurous run through the airport to our gate.

Our first stop was Niagara Falls. Cheesy tourist trap, but wow, what a site.




Then it was on to Toronto for a whirlwind tour. It was a surprisingly un-stroller-friendly city, so we were lucky enough to serve as packmules for Evan. Exercise for the week? Check!


Evan loved the audio guides.




The museums in Toronto are great for families. Both the Science Center and the Royal Ontario have hands-on areas for kiddos. Evan had fun, and it was a nice break for all of us. He went 'shopping' in a kids' market:




And played the part of a little prince.


I'm not sure who had more fun.



And what would a trip to Canada be without a few moose (and bear) sightings, eh?

Oh What a Month It's Been

A lot can happen in a month when you're a toddler. Evan went from walking to running, got tubes in his ears, and survived two days without Mommy when I went on a business trip. And that's just the past two weeks. Here's a rundown of the things Evan checked off his to-do list...

Learn to use a fork:

Be an environmental activist:

Attempt escape:


Demonstrate frustation over health care debate:



Discover a bad habit: (Disclaimer: the bottle is empty!)



Take a trial run for upcoming flight. Question pilot's credentials:



Travel to Ohio to visit Nana and Poppy...


...and to Tennessee to meet his cousins:


And make a new best friend:

Whew! I think that about covers it. Until next month...
