Sorry, just can't think of a good title :)

So today it has been one month since Lane's accident. I was realizing that I haven't been keeping y'all up with what's been happening. He's been going to physical therapy 3 times a week- we joke because one of his first exercises was to squeeze his butt cheeks. He went back to work last week and worked two hours a day, and will gradually increase how long he goes each day. Totally doesn't sound like much, but he can't sit for longer than twenty minutes and he's not suppose to lift more than 5 pounds. I'd say he's doing pretty good. It's been nice having him home, I feel like this has been one long weekend. Now if only we could be out doing lots of fun things. I haven't watched this many movies.....ever!!
Oh, and I'm so very very excited because Aige was on a waiting list for a t-ball team, and last week they called and said they had a spot for him!! Yippee!!

Happy Birthday, Evelyn!

That's right! My "baby" is now officially two years old! So here's some funny things about little Evelyn Faye:
-She's a little chatterbox. I think she probably talks better than the average two year old. She's always been easy to communicate with, even before she was one I could ask her yes and no questions and she would answer with an "uh-huh" or "uh-uh". Really, she doesn't shut up.
-She loves to dance!! Her favorite movie is Barbie and the 12 Dancing Princesses. From the first time she watched it she dances along with it. She'll copy their moves. I've even taken time with her to teach her a few things, and she's very good at curtsies. Lane has become a choreographer, he'll tell her to do a few things like, put one hand behind your back, one above your head, then turn around, and now do jazz hands! And she'll do it all (funny that he's starting to learn some dance terminology). I'm so very excited to get her into lessons, I'd really like to do a mommy and me one.
-She is such a girl. IE- Getting my highlights touched up at a friends house, she walks into the kitchen where I'm sitting there with foil in my hair, she says to me, "You cute, mom!" One afternoon I'd touched up my foundation before we had company over, she noticed the change and once again, told me that "I cute" (I don't think Lane even notices when I have on eye liner-really, I think eye makeup is quite obvious ). I look forward to having shopping days and spa time with this girl, she'll make sure that I'm looking good, even when I get real old.
-As girly as she is, she can hold her own. Aige and Payton like to wrestle (as boys do), well, Evelyn gets right in there with them. The other day she had them both pinned at the same time.
-She adores Aige. When we're out and about and he's not with us she'll ask many times, "where Aige go".
-On her birthday I asked her what she wanted for breakfast and she replied, "cake!" And just before bed I told her "happy birthday, Evelyn" and she said, "happy my birthday, mommy".

Evelyn usually eats in the nake (her word for being naked, she thinks it is funny to be nake, and we somtimes call her the nake) it helps with laundry. Now I just need a dog so I don't have to clean the floor or her hands and face.

I couldn't resist making her a tutu for her b-day
So, Happy Evelyn's Birthday, everybody!
