Visiting Daddy at Work

ERIN: On April 7th we went to visit Daddy at his work. I have never seen so many grown men so excited over a baby! This picture was taken at Brian's desk. Evan slept through the whole visit.
BRIAN: I looked so forward to Erin and Evan visiting me at work. This whole time that Erin and I have been together, she had not visited me at work. About a half hour before they arrived, I had about a half dozen people come to my desk asking when they were going to get there. I was very proud dad that day.

Great Grandma McCarter

This picture was taken on March 14th at my dad's birthday. This is Evan's other Great Grandma (my dad's mom). She just turned 90 on April 8th and we had a big party for her. Evan is her 9th great grandchild. I love the look in her eye when she holds him, and she never wants to give him up.

G.G.

ERIN: This is Evan's great grandma "G.G." Kristy and I took him over there for a visit.
BRIAN: I will type this here as it is the start of the Great Grandmothers (G.G.) section. I feel so fortunite that Evan will have the opportunity to have 2 Great Grandmothers in his life from Erin's side of the family. With the passing of my Grandma Peg (a huge part of my life) in early January 2005, it is great for me as well to be able to share in their lives.

Evan at 4 weeks old

ERIN: Well Evan is finally gaining weight. He is supposed to gain 5-7 oz. each week and he gained 8oz. this week so the Dr. was very impressed. She said to keep it up with the feedings every 2 hours but I don't have to be obsessive about it like I was before. He is already growing out of some of his newborn clothes!
BRIAN: This was the first outfit that Dad had bought Evan. I was out Christmas shopping long before he was born and ran into Old Navy quickly and saw this outfit. I just had to have it. This ended up being his first Christmas gift from Dad under the tree.

The Grandparent's Visit

ERIN: Well, we haven't been the best at updating the blog so I'll have to back track a few weeks. Funny how when you have a new baby, nothing gets done like it used to. A couple weeks ago Brian's parents came out to visit. They got to meet Evan when he was still in the hospital but he was under the bililights a lot of the time and they really didn't get a quality visit. This trip was better cause they stayed the whole weekend and got to spend lots of time getting to know their little grandson. On the Sunday Brian's brother Bob and his wife Rachel came out with their one year old daughter Emma. So Evan got to meet his uncle, aunt and cousin for the first time. Emma is a little blurry in the picture cause she doesn't hold still for long.
BRIAN: It sure was great to finally have the whole Cropp side of the family over to see Evan. I was such a proud Uncle when Emma was born so it was great to see "Bob's your Uncle" so proud when he was holding Evan.
