Hodgepodge Post

Sorry it's been so long! Lots of stuff going on: some good, some sad.


First, Kristy, Lila, Evie, and I went to the Racine Zoo. Evie was very excited about the kangaroos!

We stopped and looked at the birds in the aviary.

Evie posed for the paparazzi.

Then we stopped for a bit so Evie could eat her foot.


The playground was cute, but since Evie isn't walking yet she didn't really get into playing. She liked looking at the other kids play.




Then...Evelyn turned 1 years old!!

We had a party the day after her actual birthday at Kelly & Brian's house. Kristy & Lila, Jeff & Natalie, Crystal & Dave, and Gramma & Grampa Keyser came down to celebrate our little girl.

Lila helped Evie open her presents.





I made Evelyn's cake. It's the thought that counts.

My gramma and Evelyn's great-gramma passed away the day before Evie's first birthday. Unfortunately, the only pics I got from the funeral/wake were from the reception afterwards. BUT, they are very sweet pics of her Gramma and Grampa Gudlewski.




We bought Evelyn this adorable pottery barn kids anywhere chair. She LOVES it! I don't have a pic of her in it yet, so you'll have to deal with a pic of Frankie in the chair.


Eric's birthday is a week after Evelyn's, so we went down to Kenosha for dinner at our favorite Irish restaurant, Ashling on the Lough. Then we walked over to the harbor to look at our yacht (yeah, right...).

Evelyn and Aunty Kelly




Today, Crystal, Evelyn, and I went to the Milwaukee County Zoo. We now have a Zoo Pass and plan to go there weekly.


Apparently, it's rough being a bear...
