Weekend Fall Fun

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

Evat at the Petting ZooEvan had an exciting weekend last week which included a trip to Didier Farms and to Long Grove’s annual Apple Fest. Evan went to his first petting zoo, had his first taste of cotton candy, and played with some of his friends on Saturday at Didier Farms. On Sunday, we went to Long Gove with Ginny and enjoyed some good food, interesting stores (not so much for Jen), and Evan’s first pony ride which he absolutely loved. During the pony ride he said “wee” and “fun” as everyone went around in circles. I have posted some new photos of the fun event as well.

After a few weeks of not downloading pictures to my computer – I realized I had a lot of photos from this past summer that were not shared on this web site. I have posted new photos from a visit to Eve’s house (Evan’s friend), a visit with Aiden (another of Evan’s friends), Evan working for my company, Evan at his gym class, and Grandma Z’s visit. Enjoy!

Evan at Lake Michigan

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

Evan and Amy at Lake Michigan While we were at Evan’s friend’s party last weekend, I decided to take some pictures of Evan and Amy by our wonderful Lake Michigan. Evan is a quick mover and it is hard to catch him in a good position and smiling, but we tried our best! The day was perfect and Evan enjoyed crawling on the big rocks next to the shoreline. Right along the lakeshore in Evanston, there is an awesome park called “Elliot Park” which has a great running/walking path, a great playground, and lots of green space where people come for picnics, parties, and just to get outside. We look forward to going back often next summer and perhaps a few more times this fall.

Evan at Owen’s Party

Here is a short video taken at Evan’s friend Owen’s first birthday. While at the party, another little boy (Max) decided to start pushing around a wagon. As soon as Evan saw this – he ran over and sat in the wagon. Fortunately, Max’s mom caught this on video. Way to see the opportunity Evan – aunt Julie would be proud! (Julie used to make me pull her around in the wagon all the time)

Evan’s First Luau

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

Evan went to his first luau on Sunday (his friend Ginny’s 30th birthday party). Evan enjoyed the food, wondering from one group of people to the next, the drink umbrellas (he likes to say umbrella), and playing in his makeshift pool – a tupperware storage container. Evan enjoyed the cardboard cutout of the people for pictures (what he is with in the picture) – but mostly liked knocking it over and then crawling on the cardboard.

Evan’s First Metra Ride

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

Over the weekend, Evan, Denise (his babysitter), and I took the train out to see Susan (Denise’s daughter) who lives about 15 miles away. Lucky for us – she live really close to the train station so we decided to take the train. This was Evan’s first train ride and he had a good time. He met the conductor, said hello to everyone on the train, and enjoyed watching the train approaching the station. We were only on the train for three stops, but it was quite exciting! We look forward to going on the train again soon!

We are all preparing for a big trip to Penn State in the next few days and are excited to take him to PSU for the first time. We will be taking lots walks and showing Evan the much loved spots around campus. I can almost guarantee Evan will be hooked on the Creamery ice cream! We are also hoping to meet up with some of Amy’s family. Stay tuned for some pictures!

Evan and MichaelEvan spent a day playing with two different friends over the last few weekends. We first went over to Eve’s house where Evan enjoyed playing in the cool tunnel system in Eve’s basement. Last weekend we had his friend Michael over and they enjoyed walking around and playing with toys. I have posted photos from both exciting playdates!
