Evan takes his first step!!!!!!!

About 2 and half hours ago Evan took his very first steps!! Right to me, and John was right there watching, it was so great to be able to share this First....together. I just stood him there figuring he would fall onto his butt or against the couch and I stepped back to scoop him up quick and throw him into the air and before I could touch him he just walked to me, about 3 steps...it was so awesome!
Then I grabbed the camara and took these pics

We talked about how he is such a big boy and then he did this, his latest trick....

"Evan, how big are you?....soooooooooo big" and the hands go up unbelievably cute.

On November 14th Evan participated in his first children's german holiday...St. Martin's.

It happens at night time, a parade lead by a horse starts with songs accompanied by an accordian player. All the kids have these special laterns and Alex found a Winnie the Pooh lantern for Evan, thanks Alex that was sweet of you!

More on Rome, Italy.....

The whole reason I got a chance to go, was because of John's gig, on election night....

"Pieta" a mother and her dead son, this is known for the emotion it portrays by her face, Michaelangelo was only 23 when he sculpted it.

"School of Athens" a very famous Raphael painting

We took a few pics in the Sistine Chapel before a guard told us no photos....oops but wow we still got a shot of one of the most famous paintings...."Creation of Man"

One of my favorite things about Italy....the cappuccino....yum every single one was so good

Happy Birthday Evan :)

Evan turned ONE on Oct 25th and we had a little birthday party for him when my parents arrived....My mom made a cake with what I basically had in the house and he opened presents from Nana and Pop pop. Happy Birthday little guy......

Rome, Italy....unbelievable

My personal favorite....The Trevi Fountain, the pics just don't do it justice...

St. Peter's Square, Vatican City

The Roman Forum

Posed for a quick pic while waiting for the subway

John got this hat for Evan while shopping in the Piazza Navona, we just had to try it on before heading down to the hotel pool (which was freezing)

Piazza Navona home of the three Bellini fountains

On the Spanish Steps...Piazza Spagna
