E's First Break

Well, we finally did it - we left Evan with Gm. & Papa Lundgren for 4 whole days! I only cried a few times...it was really hard to be away from him, but really great for us. We had a fantastic time road-tripping out to Park City with friends and celebrating a beautiful wedding. We took full advantage of our time away, including great meals, golfing (dad), 4-wheeling and shopping (mom)! Evan did great with Gm. & Papa, and really loved having the undivided attention and constant playmates. Since it (finally) rained here in CO, they did lots of fun things indoors like making art and playing with new toys. I'm in no hurry to leave him again, but the break was nice for all of us :) This week we're busy as usual trying to wear out a nearly 2 year old before leaving to camp this weekend. Evan's biggest accomplishment lately is stringing 3-letter words together! It seems like yesterday we were amazed that he was learning to crawl, and now he's all talk. I especially like how he tries to boss me around, "Mama, eat cracker!". He's quite good with manners, and we really love his very enthusiastic, "YEAH!'s".
