Man, where have you guys been? What’s it been, like two months?! I kid of course, it’s my fault, I’ve been neglecting you all. So, let’s catch up. Where did we leave off?
Last we connected was in May, discussing Mother’s Day and Evelyn being a 3-month old. Well, we have gone through; month #4, Father’s Day, month #5, and my birthday. Oh, and I was let go from my job and started a new one. So….yeah, lot’s of busyness.
First up, this little girl made it to her 4-month milestone. We took some incredibly adorable pictures of her.
After that, Evelyn and her momma made plans for Father’s Day. It was a fantastic day. They bought me a new grill and I love it! I’ve used it numerous times and it is great! This is the first charcoal grill I have ever had. In the past I have always sworn by gas grills. After using this and learning more on how to use charcoal, I’m converted!
It was my first Father’s Day and one that I will never forget!! We celebrated with the families that weekend, my family one day and Jessica’s the next. All-in-all a great day.
As June came to a close and July began, I was told that my job was going to have to let me go; they could no longer afford to keep me. Definitely, not news I hoped or planned to receive. So, the beginning of July was pretty stressful. Trying my best to not let that deter us, we moved on to the 4th of July. America’s birthday!!
Evelyn enjoyed the 4th. A LOT!! She got to see a lot of friends and family, eat some good food, play on a trampoline, and watch the fireworks with her daddy. I couldn’t have asked for a better 4th.
From there, we had a sweet little girl turn 5-months old. She is growing so fast. It amazes me to think about how small she was when she was born and how much she has grown. She is holding her own bottle and constantly moving and wiggling around. We are working on getting this movement to turn into crawling. She will get there.
After that, we had Pop-Pops birthday. Had a great dinner with Jessica’s family for his birthday. Then the next day, we celebrated MY birthday!
I woke up and was presented with several cards; one from Jessica, one from Evelyn, and one from Colonel and Penny. It was really sweet. Evelyn (her momma) got me a gift card to Red Robin and a gift card for a movie. So, sometime soon Jessica and I will get to have a dinner and a movie date. That night we went to my sister’s and all went swimming followed by a steak dinner. It was a great birthday! It makes me so happy that Evelyn seems to love the pool just as much as I do.
Just in time for my birthday, I also received a job offer. So, I had a week off work, getting to spend time with the family. This past week I started the new job and so far so good. I’m working with some friends from the G/O Digital days, which is really great.
Now, onward to 6-months for the little lady. Looking forward to celebrating for Jessica’s birthday in August!
