John – Well, Evan’s now three weeks old, and we’ve somehow managed to keep him alive and (relatively) undamaged. And aside from a few frustrating nights of him not wanting to go to bed (until 2:30 AM!) and not cleaning up after himself, he’s integrating well.
We’ve continued to have a steady stream of friends, family and neighbors popping over to see the big-little guy, and bringing gifts, food and well wishes. Our backyard neighbors brought one of my personal favorite gifts over for Evan, his very own couch! So cool!
We also had the pleasure of hosting a post-birth shower for Evan at our house, thrown by my friends from the National Guard. Many thanks to Lori, Tara, Tom and Dave for the bringing over the excellent food, cake and everyone else for the great gifts and always entertaining company. Evan passed around to just about everyone in the house, all the while remaining unconscious. (I can’t blame him, as becoming unconscious during a party is something that actually tends to happen pretty regularly with this group! *wink*) It’s always great to spend time with you guys, and since another overseas deployment is just around the corner for some of you, it was great to get together and spend some quality time!
We’ve got more pictures up in the gallery for those who want to know what they’ve missed!
