Evan Miles Update

We spent last week in Reno visiting Evan Miles. He is such a trooper. He likes to kick, and we heard him cry. He is the sweetest little guy. I got to see Arthur change his diaper for the first time, but of course I didn't have the camera. But, my Mom did have the camera when he held him the first time.


This is Michelle holding Evan. You can see how tiny he is- his hand is the size of her necklace charm.

Arthur accidentally put a new born diaper on Evan- it is a little big.

Maissie and Jensyn were not allowed in the NICU (do you blame them??) but the nurse was nice enough on the last day to let MJ in the nurses lounge so she could see through the window.
It is so amazing to see this tiny little guy and strong he is.

pretty much the best weekend ever!

Tina and I went to surprise Terra for her birthday. Thanks to her awesome husband who arranged everything, we had a great time.


This is in the car before we got to the house.
Terra had no idea. It was perfect.
The first night we went to see Wicked in downtown Indy
The next day we drove to Chicago- one of the coolest cities. This is the view from our hotel.
This is awesome stain glass at the culture center.We saw Mary Poppins- which was great.

Some other highlights? The drunk guy on the elevator asking to go on a boat ride with him. An old Bertha waitress who ask aggressively- "you ready to order yet" after we had been there 30 seconds. Eating liquid nitrogen ice cream. It was pretty much the best weekend ever!

EVAN MILES!!!!

My brother Arthur and his friend Michelle had an early welcome to their little boy Evan Miles. He was born June 11 at 27 weeks. Here are some pictures:

Jens loved it, but got tired at the end.We also did cleaning projects, but I forgot to take before and after pictures.

Jensy poo

Jens is usually quite fun (minus the high pitched screams that make the dogs leave the room).
This is her trying a lemon:
This is Jens trying a marker:

This is Jens crying through the doggie door because I am in the garage:
