Last week, my parents came to Omaha to hang out with Evan. They had not seen Evan since the 4th of July, so they were pleasantly surprised at how big he has gotten and the many things he can do now: rolling over on his stomach and back over to his back, his extended vocabulary (mostly mumbling at this point), putting his feet and toes in his mouth, giving a non-blinking stare down, giving wide smiles, and touching peoples faces for some tender loving. We visited Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Grandpa then went to Lincoln for meetings while Grandma hung out with Evan all day. Liz hosted a shower at our house for her friend Jackie who is having a baby in December. We joked with my dad when he got to Omaha we were having a dinner party for 25.
Here are photos from their visit and assorted photos from the last few weeks.
We woke up this morning (Saturday) to 2 (update, 3.5) inches of snow. We were, of course, only supposed to get a dusting of snow and some rain. So much for that forecast. We had the most amazing mums in our pots on the front step of our house, but of course they got snowed on so I didn't have time to take a picture of them. They were brilliant yellow and looked amazing.
Evan is 7 months this week. Every day brings a new "thing" and it is exciting to see what Evan thinks of or what he learns at school. It is hard to believe as he is growing up before our eyes.
