In need of some ideas?

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

With the fall months quickly passing us by we have been thinking about Evan’s 2nd birthday on December 16th. We know that many of our friends and family will be asking soon about what our little guy wants, so I put together a “Wish List” at www.toysrus.com. Go to the website, choose “Wish List” from the tabs at the top of the page, fill in my name (Amy Muller) and our town and state (Palatine, IL) and then it will find Evan’s wish list. There is some general information (Additional Wish List Information) about other likes and items as well. Of course…visiting and spending time with us is the best present we could ever ask for…so feel free to come out and visit or come over and just say hello and spend a little time with our wonderful little guy!

Evan in the Bounce House

Evan in the Bounce House

On Saturday Evan went to his friend Emma’s 3rd birthday party. They had a big bounce house and Evan spent quite a bit of time in there with his friends jumping and bouncing. Evan also enjoyed spending time playing with Emma’s toys, playing in Emma’s play house, and eating the good food that they served. Check out the photos to see more of Evan at Emma’s birthday party.

Halloween #2

Count Evan

Count Evan

Last year Evan did not go trick or treating, but he did pose with his sister Triscuit out in the back yard. This year Evan ventured out in his vampire costume to get some candy with his friends. He met Amy at her school with Denise and her nephew so Amy’s co-workers could see Evan dressed up. He then went to McDonalds where he met up with Susan so she could see him in his sweet costume. A few hours later I picked him up from Denise’s house and took him and Amy out to our friends who have three boys so they could go trick or treating together.

Evan had a good time, did good with going up to get candy but wanted to eat the candy from the previous house while getting candy at the next house. After the trick or treating with friends we went to a Halloween party where Evan enjoyed chasing a new friend about his age around a table, eating ice, and playing with blocks. Check out more photos of Evan’s Halloween experience!

Trick or Treat

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

Evan had such a good time today – his second Halloween. He came to visit my school this afternoon, which was such a treat to see my little guy during the day and then we had a very busy night. Right after school we headed out to Colleen’s house to trick or treat with Danny, Cullen, Charlie, Ron and Colleen. Evan had a great time, whether running up to the doors for candy or hanging out in the wagon, his new favorite thing, with Charlie. Evan did an awesome job watching the other boys and figuring out what the whole Halloween thing was all about. He got a nice little bucket of candy. Then we were off to the Casparian Halloween party – thanks Angie for the invite. Evan had a good time playing with Angie’s nephew, Gabe. They ran through the doorways, played under the table, and ate ice cubes. Evan had a blast. It was a good Halloween.

Evan Loves His Wagon

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

Evan and his wagon Evan has a new “favorite” and that is his wagon. I had been thinking about getting one or at least putting a wagon on his birthday or Christmas wish list but last weekend one of our neighbors was having a garage sale and they had the very same wagon I was going to buy him for sale. I like the classic red metal Radio Flyer wagon and now Evan loves it. When we are outside – all he wants to do is sit in it or pull it around (I have been pulling him in it on our walks instead of using the stroller. When he is inside and tired, he will often cry and say “wagon, wagon” because he wants to go outside and play with it. This was the best $8.00 I have spent in a long time!

Evan’s Sister Triscuit

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

As most people know – Evan lost his first puppy on Wednesday (October 15th). Evan loved Triscuit a lot. He loved taking her for walks, feeding her his table food, playing with her tags, and saying hi and waving to her. Even though Evan could not quite get the name “Triscuit” out – he tried to get the “TR” out and loved when she was around. I am saddened by the fact that Evan will probably not remember Triscuit, but at least we have some good pictures of them together.

Big Polite Boy!

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

Yesterday Evan took his first step towards getting potty trained – he actually went to the bathroom in his little potty chair. On another note – on our way home from picking him up at the babysitter’s house, Amy said “Thank you” to Evan for something and he then said “You’re welcome.” We both got a huge kick out of that.

Evan’s New Cousin: Hunter Thomas Ambrose

Posted by: jzelazny | 0 Comments

Hunter AmbroseThis morning Evan’s aunt Jule had a baby who she and uncle Dan named Hunter Thomas Ambrose (6lb 9oz born around 3am). I think Hunter looks like Julie – and I look forward to more pictures. We are all excited to meet him and to get to know him. Mommy is excited to teach Hunter all kinds of sweet tricks to make his mom’s life more interesting! Evan will also have fun with another cousin and will surely make family visits more interesting and fun. Thank goodness Julie had her iPhone with her to take this picture! Congratulations Julie and Dan!

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.
