Preschool Costume Parade at Lifecare

Evan's preschool class had a costume parade at Lifecare today.  They sang a few songs and recited some fun poems as they went from room to room.  Some of the residents even gave them some candy!  I'm going to try to get video of Evan reciting a poem or 2, but no promises!

Grandma Elsie Olivia Marks

Grandma Marks passed away on October 14, 2011.  She was 90 years old.  We will miss her greatly, but we are so happy that she and Grandpa Marks are together again!  Grandpa Marks passed away when I was in 6th grade, so Grandma was without him for a lot of years.  She always said that she was mad at him for leaving her so early.  :)  I can't even imagine the joy she must have felt seeing him again.  I'm so grateful that we know families are forever and that we will be with our loved ones again.  This is the last picture we have of Grandma.  It was taken last month when Evan and I went to show her the crown he made in preschool.  While we were there Grandma said of Evan, he sure is handsome especially for a young boy.  :)  I'm so glad we have it, even though it's not the best quality because I took the photo with my cell phone.  We love you Grandma and look forward to the day when we will see you again!

Ready or Not...Here They Come

I've been such a slacker when it come to our blog!  Well, I've been a slacker in other things too, but....  :)  I'm still not very thrilled with my actual blog background, but I suppose I shouldn't put off posting just because of that!

I thought about trying to catch up on everything we've done since January, which was my last post, but it is not very likely that that will happen, so I figure I'll start with pictures from yesterday.  That's right, less than a day old!  We got a new camera, which I'm toally excited about, so I took over 100 photos yesterday of Evan while I was trying to figure some stuff out.  So, here are a whole bunch of pictures. Some of the are a little blurry, but I still liked the photo, so I put them on here.  Hope you enjoy!
