This beautiful exchange

Here are a couple pictures of the bushes that are in front of our house. A while ago, I mentioned how beautiful they are and wanted to share a picture. At the time, due to unsavory circumstances, I was unable to do so. But, finally, I bring to you the awesome redness that is our [...]

Sounds like a great list of crazy cravings for a pregnant lady, doesn’t it? Well, you’ll be surprised to know that apparently, dads-to-be have pregnancy cravings, too. This particular soon-to-be-papa has even woke up at 2am wanting one of these three items.
Me, the one actually carrying the baby, has yet to wake up in the [...]

For those of you who might be interested….and really, I mean my mother…here is one of the sonogram pictures of Baby Evans. This was taken right before Thanksgiving, so the baby is bigger now. He or she is moving around a lot, and each day I feel more and more movement. The other night at [...]

OH, THE IRONY!

Tonight, as I was vacuuming our ugly, multi-stained carpet, I found myself wishing for a lot of things. I starting thinking of how I would love to have hard wood floors, instead of gray carpet that used to be off-white. I would love to have another bedroom in our house so the baby wouldn’t have [...]

Just for fun, what is [...]
