This past weekend was very busy. Friday morning I had a cooking class with several friends. I've got some great new quick and easy recipes now. That evening Gabe and I joined our neighbors for a performance by Andrea Marcovicci. None of us knew who she was but Gabe was sure she was some famous opera singer. Turns out she is the Queen of Cabaret and her performance this night was love songs from WWII. We were not familiar with any of the songs and were by far the youngest people in the audience. She had a nice voice and thankfully gave the history of the songs as she went along which made it enjoyable.
Saturday morning we had some college kids from our church come over and help us plant some flowers and dig up some things that we were tired of looking at.
After that we were off to an Aggie basketball game thanks to my friend Sharon who had extra tickets. I was so excited to take Evelyn. I was convinced she would have a blast. Well she wasn't excited as I was but at least she didn't cry. Most of time time she sat on our laps chewing on a straw from Gabe's drink. She seemed ambivalent about being there. We got a few claps and smiles out of her.
Next on our list after a short nap was a birthday party for one of Evelyn's friends. I think there was a little more excitement for her at the party. After playing for a while in the backyard she was getting restless, so I suggested to Gabe that he take her over to look at a near by pond. Several kids and parents were previously checking it out so I thought it would be a nice distraction for Evelyn. I got distracted talking to some of the other parents when the next thing I hear is Evelyn crying and someone saying, "I think she fell in!" I look over and here comes Gabe carrying a crying, wet, and muddy Evelyn. She's in shock after slipping into the water up to her neck. Thankfully she was fine, just shocked and dirty, so I had to strip her down right there in the middle of the party. This was her first birthday party that she got to take a bath at, and thankfully our friends had some clothes she could borrow.
Not much else has been going on and that can be a good thing at times.
I promise I will get some more pics out in the next few days. I haven't taken any recent ones and she is not in a picture taking mood this morning.
Relaxing in front of the TV. She likes it way too much now.
