Well, it finally happened - I now have a child in double digits!!! I can't believe how fast the past decade has flown by!!! Evan has been such a blessing to us in so many ways. Not only was he our first born, but he held our family together at the ripe old age of 2 when my dad was diagnosed with his brain tumor and we were moving out of our house in Cincinnati to move to Fishers! God's hand was in everything during that time - and I believe he gave us Evan to help all of us cope, in ways he still will never quite understand! So today, I thank God for his life and his continued blessings. Evan, we all love you more than you could ever imagine - but I hope you always know and love the One who loves you even more than we do!!!
So we gave Evan his choice of places to go tonight to celebrate (he and Grant are having a joint birthday party in a few weeks). So, he chose Ben and Ari's (one of their favorite places to go). We munched on pizza and then it was on to the games and prizes!!!
We've known Leonard for a long time (the owner of Ben and Ari's), so he graciously took this famly photo for us!
Evan with his "prized" penguin!
Evan and Blake on the waverunner game.
Grant got a baby penguin to match Evan's larger one!
The younger boys giving the birthday boy a big, brotherly hug! And let me tell you, that doesn't happen often, so I was glad to get it on film!!!

So I just had to throw in a "baby" picture of Evan. This shows you just how old he is - this is one of the first pictures we have of Evan on a digital camera!!! It was taken when he was about 2 1/2 in 2000 after we could finally AFFORD to buy a digital camera!!! Guess that also explains why his photo album stopped around this timeframe as well!!!
