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.

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!

Grandma Z and Evan

Last week Grandma Z was here visiting for a few days and she and Evan had lots of fun. They went to the playground, played in the back yard, went for walks, went to Evan’s swimming class and gym class, read books together, and had a great time watching Evan’s favorite TV shows. A big thanks to Grandma Z for visiting!

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

Posted by: jzelazny | 2 Comments

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)
