!!MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I just wanted to take a quick minute to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I'm sure I'll post some first Christmas pictures next week....so stay tuned.

Have a safe holiday and remember the real reason we celebrate Christmas!

With Love, Joe Stacy Evan and Harley

Big Weekend!!

It's official....Evan can now roll over. Yeah!! Two days after his four month birthday he's rolling. He actually rolled at two weeks old....but Joe and I both know that was a freak accident, I think it scared him. The look on his face was priceless. But he's rolling now!

He also was given the green light to begin cereal by his pediatrician. Joe wanted to start it about three months ago....but I made him wait. However, I think Joe was right because we couldn't spoon it in quick enough without Evan yelling between every bite! It was very comical. A video camera would have been nice...but these photos will have to do. For the most part he kept very clean, didn't turn his head too much, and ate four tablespoons in about 10 minutes! Mom and Dad were very impressed considering the pediatrician said it would probably take a while for him to catch on to using the spoon......not at all. He's a natural. But you'll also see in the last picture that he was very worn out after all the excitement so he and Harley took a little cat nap.

Thirteen....

Yes, Thirteen....that's the number of 'falling stars' Evan and I saw yesterday morning while driving. Well, Evan only saw four before I had to drop him off at Pat's house...my wonderful babysitter! But during my drive from home to BG that morning I saw a total of 13. It's usually pretty exciting to catch one every now and then...but to see that many was amazing. And I even saw two at once....they were racing....the one on the left won!! So that is how I will remember Evan's 4 month birthday! Not that I really need a reminder....but that was pretty amazing. So I've just attached a few of my favorite images that I've taken out at our pond during some pretty cool sunsets. Enjoy! In the last one you can see Van Wert's water tower in the background.

I just found out the source of my 'falling stars'. It was the Geminid Meteor Shower...known as the 'best meteor shower of the year.' according to physorg.com. And it was in it's peak on December 13th and 14th! Very Cool.

Corbin's Baptism

Well this weekend started off very badly! Poor little Evan has a cold that’s really consuming him. But for as bad as he sounds….he is still in good spirits. If mommy or daddy could take it from him we would, but unfortunately it doesn’t work that way. Then coming up on the 14th I have to take him to get his four month shots…so I hope he’s at least gotten rid of his cold by then.

On Sunday Shana’s little boy, Corbin, got baptized at their church. The service was very nice and Corbin did a great job….so did Evan sitting in the church for an hour. He slept through about half the service, but when he was awake he did great. Ross and Alyssa kept him entertained by talking to him. Then after the service the whole family went out for some Mexican food and we had a wonderful time.

Play Date!!

Evan had his first play date with Jackson on Friday. As you can see they got along well!! Evan sitting on Jackson and all. What a little bully we're raising....I blame his dad. :) Jackson was great trying to show Evan how to play with the toys. I think Jackson was confused as to why Evan just laid there and didn't move...not quite there yet. Both guys did really well considering we had them up past their bed times. Jackson looks wide awake in that last picture....but about five minutes after that he crashed.
