EVANS: Another Month Already?

I remember when a month used to seem like a long time. They are just flying by!

Life is good. We have really settled into a routine around here and I've been just enjoying being home with my THREE kiddos. Things are pretty quiet (most days) and it's just been a really nice second month with Charlotte in our lives.

Aubrey and Carson are SO good with her! They still adore her and do anything I ask them to do for her. They are also very good at entertaining themselves and play so great together when I'm occupied with Miss Charlotte (so nice). I think that is one of the biggest differences I've noticed between when Carson was born and now. Life is good.

Aubrey thought it was so cool that Daddy let her feed Charlotte one day!

I think I've mentioned before that I can hardly put Charlotte down before Aubrey and Carson are right there waiting to see her, talk to her, and love on her.

Our THREE (still getting used to that) adorable, kind, funny, and amazing kids!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

On St. Patrick's Day, Aubrey got to go with Grandma Thompson on a trip to Texas. Just the two of them flew down to stay with Aunt Kacee and the beloved cousin Ella. She was SOOO excited to go. I waited until about two weeks before the trip to actually tell her about it, and I'm so glad I did. She talked about it nonstop....counted down the days until they left. It was really nice for her to have a little break from home. Thanks again Mom and Kacee!!

Of course, Aubrey had an absolute blast! Kacee kept me updated with texts and pictures while Aubrey was there. Here are a few she sent.

The girls all dressed up at dinner on their Girls' Night Out!

Then they went to a play.....If You Give a Pig a Party!

Another day heading out on the town.....matching of course!

Although we were very happy that Aubrey was having a great time, those of us left at home were missing her like crazy! It was so sad to watch Carson trying to play without her....he's lost without her here to boss him around!

He was so excited the whole day that she was set to come home. He just kept asking, "Is Aubrey home yet?" When she walked through the door that evening, they ran to each other and hugged for several minutes and kept telling each other "I love you." It was so sweet! They are the best little buds.

Also exciting were the things that Aunt Kacee sent home for Carson..... Power Rangers costumes!! (And not pictured, but maybe even more exciting, were the storm troopers that cousin Tyler sent for him!)

Unfortunately, Aubrey also brought home a touch of the flu! :( Luckily it only lasted a day or so.

One night while Aubrey was gone, cousins Brooklyn and Isla came to play with Carson and Charlotte.

I tried all month to capture Charlotte's new found talent of smiling on camera.....limited success....but some darling pictures of her through the month nonetheless!
