It amazes me how quickly life moves on and changes. You blink and miss something! This is the summer of all things new for our little family. We moved across town to accept a job as BYU single student complex managers. Started that new job. I received a new church calling, and Kevin graduated and is gearing up for a new degree. Evelyn is full of new things too!
Our new job started in April, but we couldn't move right into the apartment at Sparks II because they wanted to remodel our apartment. I was so grateful when they finished because now there is a safe place for Evelyn to play while I work...our living room! My office is just off the living room of our apartment. Evelyn doesn't really like that I need to work, but I only have office hours for 4 hours a day M-F and she sleeps through more than half of them.
Evelyn loves the tenants here. She smiles and giggles when they walk into the office. They love her too. Some of the tenants drop by just to see Evelyn in the afternoons. It is remarkable how much more social Evelyn has become since we started here. It is very good for her. It is very good for all of us!
We hosted a pizza party last night and got to play games for the evening with the tenants. They are super nice. If you know anyone moving to Provo send them my way. The people here are great!
I was called to the Young Women's presidency last month. I am super excited. We have some really great girls! They all love Evelyn and she loves them too. It works out very well because Kevin clerks on Wednesday nights when Evelyn and I have mutual, so we all go to the church together! I received the call just in time to get ready for girls camp this summer. Another girl in the presidency can't go because the is going to have a baby in a couple of months, but she offered to take Evelyn for a day while Kevin works so I can go up overnight with the girls. I can't wait!
Evelyn crawls like a speed demon, she is cruising along furniture too. Not up on the whole balance thing, but it will come! She sings, babbles and can say daddy, mama, baby, hi, and eat. She also presses the phone up against the back of her head and says "hi". She keeps Kevin and I laughing at our house. Today she managed to get up to the boggle game and put two dice in her mouth before Kevin caught her. Scary, but her chipmunk cheeks were hilarious.
I often feel spread very thin trying to work, fill in for professors in the department, finish my thesis and exams, be a mommy, wife, as well as serving in the church. I will be excited when (in a couple of years) I can settle down to focus on the last three alone. It is hard to be everything all at once, but I know this time will be short and I am sure I will miss the frequent interaction with students and academics alike. Life changes so quickly and I don't want to miss anything!

As you can probably see by the finger and lip prints Evelyn's mirror gets a lot of love :) She loves playing with 'The baby in the mirror'
I had a roll of paper towels out and this is what I came back to.
Starting her out young accessorizing :)
Evelyn always wants to be like her daddy. She put his tie on and kept it on all Sunday afternoon.
