Birthday and other happenings

We celebrated John's birthday on Saturday this year, since it actually falls on Mother's Day. He was nice enough to let me have that day all to myself. Evan picked out several presents for his daddy, like the hats they wore in the birthday pie picture, and a soccer ball, balloon, and some candy that he immediately wanted to play with/eat after they were opened. We're still working on the concept of gifts. John only had a couple of meetings Sunday, then he came home and let me take a nap and made me dinner and cleaned up the kitchen. It was a great day!



John got to take a day off for his birthday, so we had a picnic outside to enjoy the awesome weather, then John and Evan kicked a ball around and played some basketball. Evan LOVES picnics.

Below, Evan and John are bonding over some basketball and dream whip pie beaters. They were both pretty content.






Geryn and Evan--best of friends. I am still so disappointed that Geryn's parents are taking her away from us! Still hoping the move isn't going to happen. Sorry Chelsea.

And we recently discovered Evan's love for Jamba Juice. He wouldn't give it back to me!

In other news, we're expecting Ketcher Kid #2 mid-November. I'm feeling great, not having to do the blood-thinner shots this time around, which is awfully nice. No morning sickness, and I can even eat greasy food this time! No idea what it is, but John's hoping for a little girl.
