Month 16

We celebrated Evangeline's 16th month by forgetting to take a photo. Luckily uncle Mike and aunt Carol sent us these:

Is this helping?

Ready to go after concert.

Back To Reality

Well, we survived our first day without grandma and grandpop. Evangeline seemed disappointed when she realized they weren't here, but also seemed a bit pleased that her mother went back to some of her previous mothering duties. There seemed to be a lot more crying today, however. Right now she's asleep and Kyle is over at the house with Mike and Carol, putting together a kitchen...there are a few pictures of Evangeline being a huge help with the kitchen building process. I'll get them tomorrow and post them. Evangeline ate maybe 10 huge strawberries today.

Farewell to Grandparents

Dear Grandmother, I have so enjoyed eating yogurt from your hand every morning for nearly the last two months.

We had better get as much work done in here before grandpop leaves as we can.

She found out that she can eat an apple. Teeth are good.

Asheville Trip

We took a quick trip to Asheville to see the relatives and the Biltmore Estate. We had a great time visiting and viewing and Evangeline got to do a lot of animal petting. But the biggest news is that Evangeline got a job as a guard for the royal wedding...she knows it's a big job but figures it can't be that hard.

Easter Tuesday

Here are a few more pictures from the weekend. I didn't manage to take any today. But tomorrow we're on our way to Asheville and Uncle Mike (and Aunt Carol and great-grandparents), which means lots of great pictures. Evangeline did feed her doll dinner tonight, which was quite cute.

Here's another picture of the house, with a similar picture for comparison. The main improvements in this room are the heating/cooling unit above window, the door has been moved (you can't see that here) oh and a little new paint. Next up: refinishing floors. 

Easter Dinner

Here are some more pictures from Easter, including a few of our new-but-not-quite-ready house. So what if there's no kitchen? You can still enjoy a very nice dinner there. Evangeline kept herself busy wandering around the expanse and begging bites every once in a while.

Flowers grandma cut from next door.

This is our house, really.

Dinner

Have to have one awkward eating picture. Sorry.

Admiring her kingdom.

Making plans

Our kitchen in the living room.

Stairs, you are mine.

Grandma and Grandpop cleaned up while we went
home for a nap...that's the life.

Χριστὸς ἀνέστη!

He is Risen indeed.

Alleluia!

Happy Easter from the Mietzners.
