Holy Roller

Evelyn's latest new trick: Rolling! Here we go.......




She can go from her back to her tummy, but can't get back and then she gets mad and cries. It's pretty cute but making for some tiring nights! :)

Happy Birthday, Erin

Love You!

New Book Review

This is a historical fiction book about a Korean immigrant who comes to Honolulu in the 1920s's. I love historical fiction, because I get to learn something about the time period in a non-boring way! I loved Alan Brennert's other book set in Hawaii, Moloka'i, so I was excited when he came out with a new one. I didn't like this one quite as much as Moloka'i, but it was very good. I would give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

Evelyn's first hike

Evelyn, Chipper, and I went on a hike with Sarah and Melvin. Chipper did much better on this hike than on the last, where he practically needed to be carried to the car. Evelyn did great, too. She alternately slept and took in the scenery. It was a great day. The only dark spot in the day--a speeding ticket I got outside of Morrison. Boooo.

Fun in Iowa

We spent almost a week in Iowa visiting cousins and aunts. The weather was freakishly cool for July in Iowa, so we didn't do a lot of outdoor activity, but it was fun to sit around and visit. Among the highlights were Jay's first firefly catching adventure (he grew up in Denver- no fireflies), and Evelyn's cousin Blake entertaining us one night with his guitar playing for tips. It's always good to get back there.

Evelyn's first road trip

We just got back from a road trip to Iowa. Evelyn did pretty well in the car. We had to stop a few times and she got a little fussy back there, but who can blame her? Nebraska makes me crabby, too.
