Good Times

I can't help but take pictures of her! She's just too darn cute!

Go Badgers!!

The abominable Evie: her first walk in the snow. She really is in there!!


Trying on some adorable hats. How can you not love that face!



She smiles all of the time but I just can't get it on camera! This is the closest I've come.

Precious! That grip is something else.

Louie is so good with her and she doesn't seem to care about him. I think he knows he's got a new playmate when she's a bit older.

Thanksgiving

We were lucky enough to be able to fly back to WI for Thanksgiving. It was SUCH a great trip!! Not only did Evie get to fly for the first time, but she got to meet all of her cousins, aunts & uncles, and 3 of her great-grandmas.



Getting ready for our flight. "Sleeping" Mulu and Evie.



Four generations of Maricinak women. Great Grandma Marciniak is whom Evie is named after.

The Johnson cousins (Aaliyah, Evie, Mulu, Charlie, Aria): at least Aaliyah and Mulu weren't crying!! :)

The Hornickel cousins (Eli, Own, & Evie): Eli wasn't having it, but Owen and Evie seemed to have a good time.

Daddy and Evie: she can sit up already! Such a big girl!!

Dressing Up

For Evie's first Halloween she was The Great Pumpkin. (She was only slightly amused and the hat didn't last for very long...)

It's a good thing Evie likes to play dress-up, where I try on mounds of different clothes on her, because I DEFINITELY find it super fun! There are so many cute baby girl clothes!! So in order to get a good picture for our Christmas card, we had an afternoon of fun with the camera (and with different outfits). Here are a couple of the cute ones I got.

Family Picture Time

When Evie was 6 weeks old we went to Sears for some professional pictures. Here are some of the better shots. (I originally didn't want to do the naked baby pictures, but they ended up much better than I thought! The full body shot is hilarious- she's just so long and skinny! :)

Let's Get Started

On September 27th, little Evie Grace came into our lives (7lb 11oz, 20.5 in). We are SO blessed to have this amazing baby!! She has quickly filled our hearts and home with so much love. I love playing with her and watching her grow... although she's growing much too quickly!! Here are some pictures from the first couple weeks of her life!

Evie's first picture, only a few minutes old.

Our very first family picture.

1 day old.

A few days old and already a bit dramatic.

One week old and cute as a button!

Cuddling with Daddy.

First bath: 2 weeks old.

The fam: 3 weeks old
