Summer Happenings


































The Evsters

Evan is 11 months old now and is changing even more rapidly, or so it seems. He's been walking well for over a month now, but started furniture walking several months ago. General information on our Evsters:

Teeth - 8

Hair colour - he's becoming a blond

Words - yellow, ball, balloon, momma, dada, bow wow

Sign language - he can sign 'more'

Interests - balls and balloons

Favourite Foods - Q-tips, toilet paper, shoes (preferably flip-flops)

Favourite Activities - pulling computer cords, splashing his hands in water, especially toilet water :(

Temperment - naughty (well, only sometimes, but mostly he's a calm and happy wee thing)

The only major issue we have with our Evsters is his disinterest in sleep. Evidence of this is his crib, which he has chewed quite extensively. I joke that he's working on his escape, much like the one in the movie Shawshank Redemption. He only sleeps in small increments, which, as I'm sure many of you know, is a KILLER! Basically, sleep is a work in progress.

Maui

In June we travelled to Maui for a week and had a spectacular time. We relaxed on the beach, went on tours/boat/snorkeling adventures and the list goes on. We stayed at the Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort Villas and had the wonderful luxury of having a kitchen and in-suite laundry. The resort also had a grilling area that visitors could use. We took advantage of this amenity quite a few times. Overall, we really enjoyed our time together.


Grouse Mountain

I have also included pictures of our outing to Grouse Mountain. I hiked the Grind while Scott, my mom and the Evsters took the gondola up and met me for lunch! It was a beautiful day.
