It is hard to believe that a year ago there was no Evangeline in our lives. Greg and I had only begun to try to get pregnant, we actually found out I was pregnant the weekend of the Superbowl last year. It was weird visiting Denver this year and thinking that when we were there in 2011 our lives were so different. Evangeline had a lot of firsts on our trip: first plane flight, first ride on the airport tram, first TSA experience, first boarding past.... first academic conference. Greg and I really enjoyed the Digital Media and Religion Conference as did Evangeline. The conference was in Boulder and then we stayed in Denver for a day after the conference concluded. Here are a few photos from our trip.

I'm writing a quick update because I just started back to work and I know things are going to be crazy for awhile. I'm teaching three lab classes at the University of Missouri School of Journalism. I really enjoyed my first two days of teaching. Here's what is new with Evangeline...

Evangeline is growing so fast. She responds to sounds now, makes kissing sounds with her lips and is able to lift her neck up at a 90 degree angle. She's now tall enough to sit in her Exersaucer on the lowest setting. She loves to stand-up while you hold her and her legs are getting stronger. She loves faces, and her own reflection. She also loves her new "Spot" book and her silver rattle. In other news my computer hard disk filled up from all the photos I have taken of my little Evangeline. I'm currently working to eliminate duplicates and make the computer useable again.
This week her Grandpa and G'ma are visiting. We'll try to post some photos of their visit too.
