Who needs water to have fun?!

Loves the remote...just like his dad!

Happy first Father's Day!

Pickles from Grandpa Marv!

Silly boy!

Evan's last day with Betsy and Lars...until the fall!

Evan turned 8 months old on the 21st. He is definitely turning into a little boy...not a baby anymore! I am really enjoying being home with him this summer. I love my job, but it is nice to just be able to spend the day doing whatever we want! We are very fortunate to have Betsy taking care of Evan while we are at work. She has a little boy named Lars, who is 2 months older than Evan. We are very happy that she will be taking Evan again this coming school year! She is great and Evan loves her!

We had a great, relaxing time in Bayfield. We rode the ferry over to Madeline Island, stuck our toes in Lake Superior (too cold to swim), played in the sand, shopped, ate, went to Duluth, spent lots of time in the car (yuck), and just had a good time hanging out. It was a much needed vacation!

This week we have been hanging out at home, playing, swimming, and doing a little cleaning. We got Evan a little pool and he has been having fun in it, even when it didn't have water in it! I realized that an empty swimming pool is a great thing to have. We had it sitting in the living room for a couple of days and could put Evan in there with a bunch of toys. Now that he can crawl, he is all over the place! Today he realized that he can climb out of the pool, so not such a great way to keep him contained. We put water in it today (I had to put a little warm water in) and he LOVED it! He splashed and played with his water toys...I think he will be a swimmer! We had him in my aunt Kim's pool last weekend and he liked that too. My cousins' kids were splashing around and Evan wasn't even phased by it. We plan to do lots of swimming this summer...although I'm not excited about wearing a suit!

We have a lot going on in the next couple of weeks...the summer is already flying by!

Evan has mastered the crawling and is on the go! He is still just as sweet as can be and is quite the charmer! The pictures tell it all...
