Evan's Birthday

During Evan's first year of life was probably our most unsettled year- we completed law school in Las Vegas, moved back home and rented, then soon bought a home to remodel (where Ben did most of the remodeling). Ben started a new job, studied and then passed the bar exam. Pretty stressful time for us, but baby Evan was a welcome distraction from everything going on and a joy for us.

Evan was a sweet baby as long as he was close to his parents. It took him a while to not cry even if we left him with his grandparents. One of the cutest things I remember about Evan is that he never crawled the normal way- he would use his hands and left knee with his right foot to get around.
Evan loves playing sports (and is our most co-ordinated), riding bikes, playing with friends, and going camping and hiking. He loves school, but not homework and he wants to do everything that Jarom does. So far things come pretty easy for Evan- the first time he picked up Jarom's trumpet he made a great sound (this frustrated Jarom!). He is my pleaser and likes me to acknowledge when he is the only one doing something right.
I love that Evan shows his emotion on his face-it is fun to watch all the cute faces he makes!
