More Play Time

They love to be together, I will enjoy this while it lasts.

Pretending to sleep.

Hugging Evelyn.

Big Smiles! An example of her latest toothy grin.

Playing Together

Evelyn thinks that Sebastian is the Most Hilarious Person in the entire world. They love to just play in his room together. He loves having her around, so that he is not alone, and she loves watching to see what he will do. Yesterday Sebastian told me: "I didn't know we were going to have a baby, and then we were having a baby, and then I saw that it was Evelyn, and I love her because she is so sweet."

Wide-Mouth Frog Imitation



Of course, I didn't realize that Patrick was videoing this; so I am sorry to say that I am talking in the background.

Sebastian Mommy Day

On Saturday, Sebastian and I spent some time together. I took him to Lineberger Park in Gastonia where we rode a little mini train. Next, he played on the playground, we went to lunch at Burger King. We ended this exciting day with a trip to Kohls, Aldi, and Lowes, but he loved it all. Here are some pictures.

In the car, on the way to the park.

Standing outside the train area, waiting for our ride. We were the only people there.

She Wants to Crawl



Evelyn loves to do push-ups (or down dog posture), rather, she wants to start moving. She has started rolling around where she rolls under things, like the couch or the bed. Sebastian didn't crawl until 9 months, we shall see if Evelyn will beat him to it (she was 8 months on the 10th).

Refinishing Project

I refinished the bookcase and tv stand in our bedroom so that our furniture would match. Here are some, not so great but all I have, pictures of the result.

Before: Poor lighting and bad picture of the oak bookcase and stand.



After: I refinished the bookcase and stand in Bombay mahogany so as to match the rest of the furniture.


My attempt at showing how the bookcase and stand now match the bed (i.e. the rest of the furniture).


Now, the only thing in our bedroom that doesn't match is the desk, which we will eventually be moving out of here. I will put up some better pictures of our room sometime soon.
