We took a day trip into the city and explored Camden Market. There were tons of tacky souveniers, cheap T-shirts, and postcards galore; but there were also some very cool areas in the market that had vintage clothing, old records, and delicious Thai food. The place was huge! We walked around for hours and we still didn't see it all.
Evelynn loves to stand on our window sill and look outside at the dogs and the train. She barks at the dogs and says "choo choo" when she sees the train.
Scott put her in one of my dresses and she thought it was quite funny.
Recently, Evelynn has been trying to climb into or onto everything. Here she is playing with the hair supplies.
I recently flew home to Vancouver to be in a dear friend's wedding. Congrats to the newlyweds, Mr. and Mrs. Regamble!! It was a very short trip, but I did get to see some friends and family while I was there. I have to admit, I was most excited to see my 2 nephews, my niece and niece-to-be. The wedding was lovely, it was wonderful to see some of my family and Scott's family, Vancouver is beautiful (of course!), but nothing compares to coming home to my own little family after having been away for 5 days. I missed you Scott and Evelynn!
Right after Evelynn woke up, we came downstairs to a room full of pink birthday balloons! Thanks KayeK!
One year old!
Opening some presents!
Reading her new book from KayeK and BD
In the afternoon, we headed downtown to take Evelynn to the aquarium for the day.
She loved the animals.
Your first cupcake Evelynn!
Hmmmm.....not sure what to think about this....
Nope...don't like it.
Exactly one year has passed since we were blessed to welcome Evelynn into our family. She has changed us forever, and we are so thankful for the change.
In honor of our birthday girl, and Scott's love of the great David Letterman, here are the top 10 things we love about Evelynn Kaye McTaggart:
10. Evelynn is our little book worm. She loves to sit in front of her box full of books and pull them out one by one and turn the pages and talk to the things on the pages in her crazy Japanese/Russian sounding baby language.
9. She can play the harmonica. That's just cool.
8. We love Evelynn's beautiful "dot" on her cheek. We like to think that it was God's finishing touch on a wonderful creation.
7. Evelynn's first word was: Dog. She has an obsession with dogs! This is kind of ironic because neither Scott or I are really that interested in dogs. At random times all through the day, she will stop what she's doing, point out the window, "bark", and then say "Dod" (which is her way of saying "dog").
6. When music comes on, Evelynn has the cutest little bootie shake/head bop thing that she does. Watch out Beyonce!
5. Evelynn's favorite foods: noodles, cheese, grapes and anything I'm eating.
4. Evelynn really loves her Nani and her KayeK. She knows a good woman when she sees one. We are thankful to have 2 amazing Grandmas in her life.
3. She is most happy when she is around lots of people. Evelynn is definitely an extrovert. She loves to interact with anyone she can. Nothing shy about this girl.
2. The only time Evelynn will sit still for an extended period of time is when she's watching Praise Baby. Thirty minutes of cheesy worship music and a peaceful Evelynn. We love Praise Baby.
1. She finally sleeps all the way through the night! (fingers crossed that this continues for a very long time) We have had a tough time getting Evelynn to stay sleeping all night. She seems to really like waking up at odd hours of the night. I never thought that I would be so happy to sleep until 6:30am!

October 28th, 2009
We've had some birthdays in the house!
Scott turned 30 years old. I love my thirty year old.
Box o' Fun - 30th Birthday edition.
This is a huge deal! Scott inherited the green water jug from my parents.
That's right Ryan.... we got it!
Evelynn turns 1 tomorrow! When Scott's parents were here, we had an early birthday for Evelynn with a few gifts and of course, a princess tiara.
Evelynn was VERY excited about her new dolly and book from Nani and Papa.
She loves reading books. She mostly loves turning the pages and talking to the things in the books.
There's our little birthday princess.
All of this gift opening sure is tiring.
