Weekly update

Now that we are all moved back into our home, I thought it would be fun to actually do some fun activities with Evelyn this past week. To start off I was able to find a running stroller for an awesome price on craigslist so eventhough that doesn't sound fun, Evelyn actually really loves going running with me, she will just talk and sing the whole way. We then headed over to Potter Park Zoo. It was actually really fun, I love animals and we had a fun time watching them all. It was kind of nice since it almost felt like we were the only ones there at the zoo, I guess on a Tuesday afternoon not too many people are out.
Here is one of the wolves at the zoo, after I took the picture he came right up to the fence and Evelyn started to do her barking noise. To her it was just another dog.
The monkeys were fun to watch, I think they always know when they are getting attention.
Evelyn liked the little farm animals since she is familiar with them from some of her books and videos, she had no problem sticking her fingers inside the gates.


Then there was my personal favorite, the lions. I love lions, they really are my favorite animal. When we went inside the building there was a tiger that would walk right up against the glass and Evelyn and the tiger would go face to face. She just kept repeating "kitty, kitty"
Later in the week Evelyn and I headed over to Jumpin Jax. She really had a good time there, well actually we both did, I love those blow up jumping toys. Evelyn especially loved the huge slide and would laugh as she went down all by herself. This was a great place for her to get out a lot of energy. We will be going back. Saturday we headed to the apple farm with the Martins to pick apples. Evelyn enjoyed getting the apples and having one just her size to eat. Well it was a fun week ending with some football watching with daddy.

Busy Week!

To start off we got a new car this week. We all really like it especially Evelyn, it's only a one-seater but it gets to where you need to go and has great gas mileage. It has sweet rims, can become a convertible if you want and even has a personalized license plate, it was a great deal! In other news this week has been really busy moving back into our home. Yesterday our home was a part of the Lansing Home Tour, we were one of the 8 homes in the tour, so we had only one week to unpack our 7 boxes, 3 suitcases and third bedroom where we stored all our stuff over the summer and at the same time Kyle started back at school. It was quite hectic and a bit tiring but we were really glad we did it, now our house is in tip top shape. The tour had a really great turn out, there were a lot of people coming through our home and it seemed we had good reviews which is always nice to hear. We are really glad to be back in our home it really is such a nice and comfortable place to be. Kyle is busy once again with school taking 15 units and being a part of Law Journal so we wish him luck and hope this semester goes well. Hopefully next week we will have some more fun and exciting news to share.
Oh and here's a picture of the new car!

End of Summer and Back to Michigan

Summer has come to an end and we are headed back to Michigan. We have had another fun summer with lots of fun trips and family activities. Evelyn will miss the fun rides in daddy's convertible.
Evelyn will also really miss going swimming almost everyday and enjoying the warm California sun.
Hope daddy hasn't got her hooked on diet coke too soon.
Our last weekend here we headed to my parents beach house in San Diego and had a lot of fun spending the days on the beach, walking on the boardwalk and just taking it easy.
Evelyn will also miss her cousins, she has had a lot of fun getting to spend so much time with them. The trampoline has been one of her favorite spots in the backyard, she loves to jump and does really well on it. It has also been a good way for her to get all her energy out, cause wow does she have a lot of that.
As we were packing I had Evelyn try this on to see if it fit, and she got really confused as to why she would need such a warm outfit, oh boy is she in for a surprise when she can't wear her swimming suit and shorts all day and discovers this little thing called snow!
This past week we celebrated Kyle's birthday, by eating his favorite chocolate pudding cake and going out for sushi. I am so thankful for my husband and all the things he does for his family, he has been working so hard this summer with an internship and a nightly job and still finds time to hang with me and Evelyn. I am so proud of you hun, hope you had a nice birthday and oh yes love you tons! Well next post will be from Michigan, see you then!
