I just wanted to interrupt my regularly scheduled posts to wish my nephew, Evan, a HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY! Sorry we weren’t able to make it to your party but we will be seeing you soon! Here’s a sneak peek at a photo from his party… the colors, the details, the cake, the prince, doesn’t it all look perfect!?!

I know that Evan will one day grow up to be a dashing young man that can do anything he puts his mind to. He can already pee in his toilet, read the alphabet, say “i wuv u”, and he’s got some mad hand-eye coordination skills going on. 🙂 And he gets it all from his wonderful parents. My sister-in-law is like the most detail oriented, talented, craftiest, most amazing woman I know! Not only is being a Mommy a feat in itself, she always has a great vision for party planning, makes adorable hair accessories, takes awesome pictures, and has a great eye for design and fashion. I really think y’all should follow her blog (you don’t need Xanga to comment)! And my brother? He is like the smartest, most well rounded guy I know… he’s in banking, he knows how to make a mean oxtail soup and he SEWS, did you read that… he SEWS.
