Track Meets & Art Museums

This month Evie experienced another two "firsts" - her first track meet and her first art museum visit! In her typical Evie fashion, she was thrilled about both. :)
The track meet was Jamie's - one of my high school youth group girls. It was a gorgeous day so Annette, Erica (who even got out of school early! shh...), Evelyn and I headed to Norfolk to cheer on Jamie. She ran the 400 and 800. This is her first year and she's doing awesome!

Run Jamie, Run!

After the track meet we all headed over to the Hutchisons for THE Royal Wedding party. :) Evelyn thought Kate looked beautiful and loved sitting on Tim's lap during the ceremony. ;) IMG_1326.JPG

Our good friends,the Strickenburgs, are in Colorado for the summer for Andrew's internship. We wanted to get some hang out time in with them before they left, so last week on a particularly rainy day Beth and I took David and Evie to the Richmond art museum. We *loved* it! I wasn't sure what people would think about us bring two babies into the art museum, but everyone was so friendly and encouraging about having Evie and David there. It was a very family friendly environment and the collections and displays were great as well. I wasn't sure what to expect and was very pleasantly surprised. I definitely want to go back!!

It's so much fun doing new things with Evelyn! She is so wide-eyed, curious and excited about life, it's so wonderful! :)

Coming soon.... Evelyn's first flight! Someone thought getting up at 3am and going to a brightly lit airport with lots of people to smile at was the greatest thing EVER!
