Yes I do have a new baby, and yes she is 4 months old

Hi friends. Another shamefully overdue post. I decided it's about time I came out of hiding and shared my amazing Evalyn with everyone. I was not prepared for the tidal wave of love I have for this little one right from the beginning. She is Amazing. I feel like Evalyn and I have a special bond. Lucy has been from the beginning a stalwart Daddy's girl, she has never hidden her preference. I love Lucy more than life itself but it's nice to have someone who ADORES you. When I walk into Evalyn's line of sight she gets this look on her face like all her dreams have come true. I feel the same about her.

Labor was difficult but short. I knew the moment Evalyn was born she was the happy peaceful type. She didn't even cry, just looked around and took everything in.


There are 2 things I never thought I'd get in a newborn. A calm temperament and HAIR.

Here's Lucy meeting Evalyn for the first time. Lucy has been a fantastic big sister. She is mostly indifferent (better than hostile), but is always so sweet to her baby sister. She is already trying to teach her about the world and does a pretty good job of sharing her toys and Mom and Dad.

A happy baby hanging out with Dad.

All the girls dressed for the BYU v. Utah football game. Here's a rare unpleasant look from Evalyn... Maybe she's a BYU fan.

Getting ready to go to a friends house. About 3 months old.

We had Evalyn's blessing in Basin City and it was very special. My mom made her dress, I knitted her shoes and our adorable cousin Christianne made her headband.

Evalyn is a thumb sucker. Chris doesn't like it but I think it's adorable... plus she's so cute I pretty much let her have whatever she wants. In fact right before she was born, we did a quick ultrasound and she was sucking her thumb even then!

Lucy and Evalyn together. These pictures are rare because Lucy's so active. I just love my gorgeous girls!!

Fast asleep and bundled up. Evalyn loves the car, it's a good thing too because it seems we're always on the go.

Finally, sweet Evalyn about an hour ago, playing happily in her excersaucer. No words can describe how blessed I feel to have the family I have. Especially my new sweet Evalyn.
