Summer in STL

This summer is off to a fast pace for us! It all began the last week of school in May when Evelyn fractured her wrist in three places--yes, three places. She decided that Mommy doesn't know what she is talking about when I told her that it wasn't safe to slide off her bed onto the floor via her belly. When I turned my back, she did it and began to cry--off to the ER! They put her into a splint and we had to see our BFF Dr. Bassett (he did both of her thumb surgeries this past year). She was placed into a pink cast for 3 weeks. We also started gymnastics along with swimming lessons about this time. During that time, we headed to Indiana to visit Grandmas and Papas. While there, she got a pink Barbie Jeep! At first, she called it her "pink Pathfinder" cause Mommy drives a Pathfinder--too funny! Since then, not a day goes by that she isn't driving around the court and over to visit Mr. Jon. The following weekend, we headed to Hayti to visit Grandma Cheryl. Before we left, Evelyn got to meet Dora the Explorer at a local mall. While there, we saw some friends from church--Samuel and Andrew. That evening, we hit the road. It was a fun time as we visited with all of Rob's aunts and uncles. This weekend, we finally got to be at home and enjoy time with just the three of us. We grilled, played, and Evelyn got soaked in the sprinkler. She just cackled and grinned as she ran through and became drenched. If only these days would last forever...
