Weekly Update

Last weekend, Mimi and Papa Ragsdale came for a visit! We went Crawdading in the river by our house. We kept only the big ones and then we cooked and ate them! I don't really like to eat crawdads.

I got a new Violin for my birthday cuz the other was aunt Jessica's and we had to give it back when we moved. Our new violin teacher is named Miss Jenny. I do my violin practice quicker than Graham cuz I do it fast.

I like fixing my hair and I figure out cool things to do on my dolly's hair.

School is going good and I made lots of friends. I always follow the rules in my class.

Soccer is fun and this week on my games they got zero goal and we got five goals. My team name is Orange Stars and my coach is funny!

Eva is SEVEN!!

 It was a school day, so we started off with a candle in the morning oatmeal. 

We invited the Lochheads over for dessert and the little boys were helpful with tearing up the angel food cake for the trifle. They are so cute. 

Daddy had the cute idea of getting slider buns for the hamburgers, because everything is cuter when it's little! 

And finally dessert and presents!!

Birthday lunch surprise

Lee got home early so we went to the school and surprised Evelyn by having lunch with her! Daddy also picked up a little treat.

I couldn't get a pic of her opening her eyes and smiling, every time she opened her eyes she was cross-eyed...that's why she is laughing in the pic! Silly girl. 

Letter from Bella!

Highlight of the day! 

Soccer girl!

Eva had a great soccer game today! She played hard and I think the practice time we are spending with her is paying off. She is more aggressive and more away of what's going on around her. Less la la land.

This afternoon, her fabulous coach, Kris Kidd, sent me this text message:

"Hello!  I didn't get a chance to tell you after the game today, but Evelyn had a Soccer Awakening Today!  She was on Fire!"

He is seriously the best. I have loved having Evelyn on his team. She has grown and learned so much, and best of all - he has made it such a FUN experience for her and all her team mates. 

Daughter date!

"We had a good time at the yogurt zone. Mostly hard gummies. It was such a good treat!"

Love,

Eva

Good grief teeth!!

Eva was quietly eating her parfait during breakfast this morning and I hear a tiny "ouch!" I looked over at her and she is holding her tooth! Apparently the tiny chopped apples in the parfait were to much for that line tooth to handle. It's touch eating with so few top teeth. 

This is her fifth lost tooth and she is rather proud that she has caught up to Graham.
