Evan is doing great this week. We have gotten out for a lot of walks since the weather has been beautiful. We are going to Pella, IA this weekend for their annual Tulip Festival with both Grandparents. Evan will have plenty of people to hold him and pose him for pictures with the flowers.
Here is Evan at one month - we are going to try to get him each month next to his elephant to show how he has grown.
Thank you again to everyone for their thoughts and prayers. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms. It is amazing that I get to celebrate this great holiday with my family and perfect little boy. 
Is he going to be a righty or lefty?!Love,
Amy, Nick and Evan

Amy,
I don't have your email address, but I thought you should have this on your 1st Mother's Day.
Love,

BEFORE I WAS A MOM:
Author Unknown
Before I was a Mom
I made and ate hot meals.
I had unstained clothing.
I had quiet conversations on the phone.
Before I was a Mom,
I slept as late as I wanted
And never worried about how late I got into bed.
I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.
Before I was Mom
I cleaned my house each day.
I never tripped over toys or forgot words of lullabies.
Before I was a Mom
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom
I had never been puked on
Pooped on
Spit on
Chewed on
Peed on
Or pinched by tiny fingers
Before I was a Mom
I had complete control of:
My thoughts
My body
And my mind.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child
So that doctors could do tests
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom
I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
When I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
Could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a Mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small
Could make me feel so important.
Before I was a Mom
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay
I had never known the warmth
The joy
The love
The heartache
The wonder
Or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.
Glad to hear all is well! Evan looks so cute. I want to hold him!!! :)
oops! Forgot to sign my name again- ha! McKenzie :)
