Blessing Day

Today was Lillian's blessing day. The blessing was beautiful that she received by her dad. We were grateful to have had lots of family members in town on this special day.

The beginning of the Evans family

Dan, Meg, Me, Lilly, Reub, Mandy, Eric, and Porter. It is not often that we all get together as a family, but we sure have lots of fun when we are all together. We porked out at the Golden Coral for breakfast, played racket ball, joked around, and cooked lots of food.
Mandy was sweet enough to give me a little manicure, but then she talked me into painting her toe nails. What a brave women to let me do that because we all know that nails are not my specialty. We will see if she will ever let me do that again. Then I will really know if she liked them or not.

Lillian and her cousin Porter together in there church outfits. Porter is always so sweet with Lilly.

Lilly and her cousin Crew. He was born exactly 3 weeks after Lilly. Crew is Reuben's brother's (Matt) boy. There is no question who the fathers are of these two. Lilly looks like Reub and Crew looks like Matt.
