18 Months

Already one and a half!
I love this photo. She looks so independent.
I can just hear Gramma singing, "Here she comes..." "Miss America!"

I Miss This Guy

This is my Evan. Wait, Jared says he's his Evan, too (gotta love back seat readers!) All of us are missing him especially today, on his Angel Day, or Freedom Day, as we sometimes call it. Tonight, for Evan Time we went through photos that we haven't looked at in way too long. I came across this one. I think he's about 18 mo. here at our Layton home.
We also listened to a song that someone wrote about him, his brothers, Jace and Lance (they loved hearing their names), Cool Ranch Doritos, Ramen Noodles, Mom and Dad, and dancing. He loves country music, especially Shania Twain (no influence from his mother), and this song is very country :). I remember thinking it was a pretty goofy song as I listened to it with Evan while he was sick, but today it jerked tears out of me. So many funny things about him that we loved!! I cannot believe it has been 6 years.
Anyway, Kyle and Cami's name is not in the song, but Kyle gets to share Evan's name (in his middle name), and (this is a little stretch, but) Cami's doctor's name was "Evan" when she was born, overseeing Jared's catching job ;)

We live a bit too far to visit his grave, but we have sweet people taking care of it for us, and I have this sweet photo that we took on Memorial Day before we moved.

We are looking for a tree to plant here so that the kids and we can have an "Evan place" for anything we would have taken to his grave.

Ah! We miss you, Evan! Can't wait to see you again!
