"Dancing is dreaming with your feet"

I apologize that it has taken me so long to post lately. It has been a crazy month. First the surgery and then we are still trying to dig out from the landfill that is our new house. We have lived here a month and still haven't unpacked the majority of the boxes.

One of the biggest problems is that we can't find the camera!! That means no cute pictures of me! Since you aren't able to look upon the beauty that is Evan, I thought I would share a video that I stole from another blog. I have watched this video numerous times and still get a kick out it. The best way to watch it is on your mommy's lap, laughing and clapping along with the song. I never knew there were so many beautiful places to visit in this world and now I want to see all of them. Keep an eye out for my homies in Austin!

Seriously, this video is fun and will give you the warm fuzzies. Why can't we just have world peace?? :)

Update on Evan

Mommy/Editor's note:

Evan's surgery that was scheduled for June 25th was canceled and rescheduled for this morning. He had his tubes put in, adenoids removed, and tonsils removed.

The surgery was short, but Evan had a hard time waking up in recovery and ended up crying for an hour or so. He has since relaxed and is in bed asleep, which is where I expect he will remain for the rest of the day. For the next 10 days, he will be pampered with ice cream and other yummy soft comfort foods.

Thanks for all the good wishes and prayers that everyone has sent his way. I know that he will be excited to update you on his progress once he is up and about again.

Have a happy 4th of July!

Fun with Daddy

Mommy was fooling around with the video function on the camera and this is what she caught:



Good Times!

I forgot to tell you

I totally meant to tell you, but I completely forgot in all the stuff going on around here.

This Wednesday morning, I will be having surgery. I will be having tubes put in my ears, my adinoids removed, and maybe the tonsils taken out also. As minor as this surgery is, Mommy is still a mess and has been stressing. She doesn't like the idea of me going under anesthesia and the knife. I don't like the idea of no food or drink after midnight.

Keep your fingers crossed for me on Wednesday morning. I hope it all turns out ok.

Pray for Mommy Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. I'm no good if I can't have my milk and unfortunately, she will bear the brunt of my grouchy mood...:(

Saturday Morning Fever!!

Mommy is devastated that there are no pictures to go along with this post. We have spent the better half of this wonderful, cloudy, and cool Saturday morning packing boxes and watching TV. Around 11:30am or so, Mommy got tired of the regular Saturday morning kids fare and changed the channel to what we fondly refer to around here as "grown up TV". The choice this morning was "Saturday Night Fever" on VH1. All I can say is:

I love disco.

Mommy and I danced disco style all around the living room and among the scattered boxes for quite a while this morning. She kept saying she wished she had the camera, but couldn't stop laughing and couldn't take her eyes off of me long enough to get it.

John Travolta is my new hero.

Good thing Mommy put all of her time and energy into throwing me a Wiggles birthday party. Why? Because now I have a new passion and it doesn't involve Wiggles at all. I finally got that out of my system.

Anyway, I would like to share with you my newest true love. Trains. Yes, they are the best. I started out with just a couple of Thomas trains after my birthday, but have quickly learned that almost anything with wheels can be made into a train. Mommy would like for all of you to know how proud she is of me and my railroading talents. Please note the last two railroad cars/motorcycles. It's so great...

And yes, I was the one who put this together. No help from the parents at all!!

And I'm off!

Well, we have officially bought a new house and the countdown to vacate the current pad has begun. Daddy is spending oodles of time at the new house pulling up shag carpet (that is older than both he and mommy) and the asbestos tile underneath it. In the meantime, Mommy and I are trying to pack up the duplex. It's a big job, but I'm a big boy and I can handle it...if I don't accidentally pack myself in a box in the process. If you ever need professional movers/packers, Mommy and I are just what you ordered. Please refer to the following when reviewing my credentials.



Carefully putting fragile material in a box.



Making sure that there is enough room to safely transport said fragile material.



Keeping the moving process FUN!



Wait!! Please don't pack me in a box!!
