14 Months of Evan, Part 1

It is hard to believe how much Evan has changed over that past year and 2 months! I'll let the pictures tell the story.

Picture with Dad at 1st birthday party!

Evan loved the baby chicks at Rural King this March. They had tubs and tubs of them and we had to visit each one and pet chicks in every tub!

How To Pass 14 Months Without a Blog Post

1. Decide to pack and leave your home of 5+ years in the space of 1 month.
2. Move in with in-laws and share one computer with 3 other adults.
3. Work full-time so that you are only home when other 3 computer users are and internet time is at a premium.
4. Repeat Step 3 for 8 months or so.
5. Buy your own house, paint and move in the space of 1 month.
6. Quit your job to be home full-time and start a daycare, but continue to drive to in-laws to check email, Facebook, CNN, etc.
7. Look for an ISP in your new neighborhood only to discover that you live in a communications blackhole. Around here, they call it "rural." It's supposed to add to the charm.
8. Repeat Step 6 for 2 months.
9. Save up your money and have a satellite dish installed to receive the internet.
10. Resume long-neglected blog.

Well, that is the past 14 months of my online/offline life in a nutshell. Future posts will include pictures of our new house, Evan and the town to which we have moved, Decatur, IL.
