Birthdays, vacations, zoo trips, and more!

I have neglected this blog lately, so here is some catching up! 
Jeff celebrated his 36th birthday!  Hello mid to late 30s!

We visited the zoo, the girls had fun watching the river otters play.

Walking through the rain forest exhibit.

Ellie was first in line to brush the goats.

Abby decided with some encouragement to try it too.

In July we tie dyed some 4th of July shirts!

Fun!

Jeff doing his best Elton John impression

We visited Katie & Ted and camped at Lake Winnebago

Loved the visit to Lake Michigan!

We got our letter of approval from China to adopt our son, David Xiaozhi Evans!  He will be home in October or November.  So excited!  You can see more adoption details on our adoption blog.


First day of 1st grade!

Abby has Mrs. Herrmann for first grade, just like her Aunt Katie did 20+years ago!  How cool is that!?

Getting ready to go!

She was sooo excited!

Ellie said "Me too?  Where my backpack?!?"
