Ahh, Moose!






It is a well known fact that much of our family doesn't believe we have moose running wild through our neighborhood because whenever they visit...they see NO wildlife. So, mom and dad and Evie, these pictures are for you!
Kohen and I were visiting a friend down the road a bit when the moose decided to eat their apple tree. (We were already in the house by then). I had left Evelyn home with Braden and told him I was going to be 'right back'. But after two hours of hanging around I needed to get home to nurse Evelyn and the moose were still WAAAAAYYY to close to my car! I'm glad to report that I was very brave and got in through the passenger side despite the fact that the mother moose was giving me the evil eye (see middle photo) and boy, let me tell you...I've seen THAT look before. Her babies must have been old enough that she didn't feel like we were too much of a threat. I think it was good therapy for me. Kohen was thrilled of course with the whole thing. He loves moose.

These are a few pictures of our end of summer exploits. Kohen's two favorite outdoor activities at the moment are "riding cars" and "finding bugs". He excels at both. His indoor activity is sitting on the potty and I included just one picture (hopefully not too inappropriate) because he is just so cute. Evelyn's summer activities are two fold, eat and sleep. She REALLY excels at the first :)

Look at those Cheeks!

Evelyn is the cutest little roly-poly!
She has really been filling out the last couple weeks, and she even slept a whopping 6 hour stretch (once)...I felt like a new woman the next day. Ahh, what a little bit of sleep can do for me!

my poor neglected garden...

My garden has been fending for itself this year...luckily Grandma arrived just in time to harvest the strawberries and radishes. We shall see if the squash and zuchini ever kick in. I suppose I should water them now and then :-)

Fun at home!

Grandma and Kohen have been doing lots of projects with scissors, glue sticks, stickers and crayons. He is in heaven...just look at that face!

A daddy daughter snuggle!
It's been a great first week! Evelyn is the sweetest little baby, we love her!

Evelyn Rae Galloway





She arrived July 4th at 6:36 pm weighing 8lbs 6oz and was 20 inches long...she has healthy lungs too! The delivery went great...a successful VBAC! No c-section for me! We are enjoying having her home and getting to know her. Kohen is loving being a big brother and wants to share all his toys with Evelyn and always needs to know where she is and what she is doing.
