Catching Up
















Mike thought that we needed to play a little catch up so you would know our lives don't completely revolve around Evan. So, here are a few pics from the last few months.
We spent a week in Hot Springs, AR during Thanksgiving and had a lot of fun. We decided it was time to see if Evan could ride a horse since she seems to love them. (OOPS! Did I just mention her name? Maybe our lives DO revolve around our China Doll) Anyway, we went on a trail ride on the side of a mountain, and I think I was the only one who had a hard time!
Mike has spent the last six or more years learning to play the bagpipes. He plays really well and has just started performing. On St. Patrick's Day he was in his first parade and took Evan who rode her bike. (There she is again.)
April 1st we went to an Irish Festival where daddy and daughter both got to wear their kilts. Mike says that a kilt is much more comfortable than he realized it would be. He is always searching for an event where he can wear it. If you hear of any, let us know! We took a break to listen to some groups play, and Evan decided to play with my hair. That turned into trying to bite my nose, which turned into a game to see who would get whose nose first. It wasn't until an hour later that I realized I lost my earring during our wild release of energy!

A few weeks ago Mike & I went to Jefferson (an old civil war town) with some friends. (This time we got a babysitter! No Evan?) Jefferson has such a rich history with many interesting stories that about 10 years ago, it started cashing in on it. There are several ghost tours and haunted hotels you can stay in. Although Mike and I have been on the ghost tours before, we still enjoy going and trying to get scared. On this tour nothing happened, so we decided to make our own haunting. Mike and Billy were exploring an old decrepit house when we just happened to take a picture to show the tour guide we found this newly haunted structure. Funny how the ghosts look a lot like Mike and Billy!
