Evelyn, Ash Wednesday 2012

I should blog about Evelyn, laughing uncontrollably at church last
night. It was somewhat amusing. And she wasn't whiny about it -- it
was that punch drunk, can't stop laughing, can't remember why you
started, glad she had a diaper on kind of laugh. That, and I'm pretty
sure I was nibbling her chin, which egged it on. The glares I got from
members of the congregation were mostly "oh how I wish that was my
daughter" not the "take that child out" thank God! It was contagious.
Infectious. Glorious.

We were seated in the front of the Church, made it before the
procession, sat in a spot for 1 person, she was on my lap the whole
time -- the boys were awesome. It was hilarious. I couldn't stop her.
:) I have to get it on video at some point, because when she starts
she cannot stop laughing. It's usually me making it happen though, so
I'll have to set up a tripod!

Charlotte Checkers!

Well we finally got a chance to see the Hurricanes Farm team! It was
awesome to see Sutter and Staal on the ice - the little brothers - on
the littlle brother team! Great game, though it was a hash in the L
column. Still a lot of fun for the kiddos and their parents.

wildlife! (and a 14 hour old horse!)

I'm not sure what sort of bird of prey this is, but it was in the tree
in our neighbor's yard, looking for lunch at the horse farm. Bunny --
come out come out wherever you are, birdy's hungry!

Speaking of the horse farm ... here's a bunch of pictures of the same
foal - can you get over the size of this guy? Holy canoli! He was
born - last night -- at 11:00. 14 hours old. And I complain about
Evelyn being 11'4" and 23 inches long when she was born! WOWZA!

can you stand how cute Clark Kent is in this picture?
