Doctor Says She's Perfect!


Evelyn is 4 months today and she had a great doctors appointment, besides getting shots. She came in at 15 1/2 pounds and is a little over 26inches. She really is doing so well and is such a good and happy baby, which makes me so happy. I think she is enjoying her new home and new room, but I know she notices it's a lot quieter here than back at Grandma's house and I'm not sure if she likes that, she really enjoyed having people around all the time.I have been doing a body boot camp class at the gym and I really like it. It has definitely helped me get back in shape and feel like I am back in high school with a coach telling me what to do. It is also nice since it is some time I get to get out of the house all by myself. Last night we had the missionaries over for dinner and had our classic Koester chili. It was really good and nice to have them over. Oh and good news Evelyn slept for almost 11 hours last night, lets hope she can repeat that.

We're Back!

Well we are back to blogging and back to Michigan. I definitely miss not having my family around since I was spoiled to be with them all summer, but it is nice to be back to our home and back with good friends. The last few weeks have been filled with a lot of activity. Evelyn turned 3 months which is just amazing that she is getting so big.
Before leaving California Kyle, Evelyn and I went on a mini family vacation to Hearst Castle. It is up the coast from L.A. and there is a beautiful castle to tour. It was fun to have a last little get away and enjoy being together. I am surely going to miss the beautiful scenery of California.



Evelyn was sad to leave her cousin Chloe, they have had a good time hanging out together this summer, and of course she will miss Zach, Gracie, Olivia, Ricky and Juliet.
We made it back to our house very well. We had to ship back 9 boxes of stuff and still had very full suitcases on the airplane. I just don't know where the stuff all came from. Being the kind husband he is, Kyle let me fly first class so I could have the extra room with Evelyn. It was so nice and much more comfortable. Thanks hun! Also thanks to the Misseldines for keeping our house so nice. It was so nice to come home to a clean house. I am sad we missed them and didn't see them before they left. Friday the 29th was Kyle's 30th birthday. So we took a break from unpacking and headed to Detroit for a Tigers game. It was a lot of fun to hang out together and enjoy being at the game. I hope he had a good birthday and isn't too upset about turning 30.

Well we are just trying to get unpacked and back into our normal routine. The best part is setting up Evelyn's room and when I have together I will show the final product. Now it is time to re-pack since we are headed off to Georgia this weekend for some football games!
