Evan has had a rough week. It started with a seizure that resulted in many tests and an overnight at the hospital, and is now on medication to control any further seizures. We go back in a month for another EEG to check his brain activity and to take any other measures. But he was a trooper at the hospital, and thank goodness for grandma's help. Here they are playing with cars while waiting for test results.

To keep with the holiday spirit, last weekend we went to an arts & crafts store so Evan could decorate a stocking. All went well until he dumped an entire jar of glitter on his stocking, which he was not happy about (the problem was quickly solved and he forgot all about it :)

"No pictures, please."

play-doh.

Evan's new favorite hobby. And yes, those are Christmas decorations in the background. I know it's early, but we were bored one night and decided to bring everything up from the basement. Evan got really into this year...he loves the lights, stockings, and especially the Christmas tree and all the ornaments. I love this time of year!

We celebrated cousin Jackson's birthday on Sunday and guess who showed up to wish him Happy Birthday...BUCKY! The kids flipped out, as did most of the adults. Bucky signed autographs, took pictures, and even played football on the front lawn with the kids. Evan was in heaven - it was all he talked about the rest of the day.

We had a fantastic trip to Florida a few weeks back. Eric had to work, but Evan, my mom, Aunt Anne, Aunt Sue, cousin Tracy and Max and myself spent a week in St. Pete and a day trip to Orlando and the Disney area. The weather was great, beaches were beautiful and Evan could not have behaved better. He was soooo good. We really had a great time. Highlights included the Florida Aquarium, Downtown Disney, and dinner with the Stolpers. Thanks to my parents for buying such a fantastic condo on the beach! I hope for many family trips in the future to sunny St. Pete.

Every week when Eric drops Evan off at daycare, he asks him to give Judy the weekly check. This morning when Eric gave it to him, Evan asked him what it was. Eric simply replied that it just needed to go to Judy, and Evan said "Is it a big coupon?" I guess I taught him well :) He'll be clipping coupons with me in no time.
