Wales trip

I recently returned from a trip to see Jess and Ian in Wales. (Amy, bless her, stayed home to take care of both Evan and Emma, with some help from the wonderful grandmothers.) I had a great time, shopping and going to see the musical Wicked in London with Jess and watching old X-Files videos and playing the guitar with Ian. Here are some random photos of the kids and London.

Lovely Jess  

Ian and an A chord 

Smiles from both!

Parliament and Big Ben from the Westminster Bridge

The London Eye and County Hall on the Thames

Westminster Abbey, where Spenser (Evan's middle name!) is buried

Jess, Ian, and me

And the special Babi Cymraeg bib ("Welsh Baby" in Welsh) we bought for Evan

Evan and the ABCs

To replay this once it's done, click on the refresh icon on the bottom left of the video (the little circle-arrow thing).

In case you're wondering, we had to upload the video via YouTube, that's why it ends on a screen with options to watch other "Evans" sing their ABCs.

Birthday Fun at Grandma Jane's!

 We had a wonderful birthday party for Evan at Grandma Jane's house!

Evan was a little overwhelmed when everyone sang to him, but he got over it pretty quickly

"Hmmm, this birthday thing isn't so bad!"
