Banner Day

Today was a big day in my baby's life. Evan took his first steps today! He's been so close for a while, but every time I tried to let go of his hands he would sit down. Today he purposefully took a few steps to me. He repeated his new trick for me, then for big brother Zachary, then for Daddy. Later tonight we had Kurt, Denise, and Joanne over for family dinner night and he walked more for them. This is such an exciting time!

It's been such a great weekend. After a weeklong toothache, teaching extra, and having Ryan gone, the weekend really turned out great. Ryan got home Friday night and I had a pizza waiting for him. We played with the kids and then put them to bed. Then, Ace and Suz came over for a game of dominoes. We had such a fun time laughing with our friends. I kicked all their asses at dominoes! Saturday I took the boys shoe shopping. Zachary needed some tennis shoes for tennis camp next week, and Evan needed some walking shoes. I'm sure his new shoes got the ball rolling for Evan! Saturday night Ryan and I went out to dinner and to see the new Harry Potter movie. It wasn't a terribly eventful weekend, but it was so pleasant. Then again, I guess it was pretty eventful - Evan is now officially a toddler!
