Stairway to Evan

posted by Evan Jake at 8:35 PM

At long last, I'm back!

I know many of you have been wondering what's happened to me. Maybe I got lost in the move. Maybe I got trapped under a box. Or maybe the Internet didn't get hooked up right. Well, in fact, it's just been a really busy couple of weeks.

First, there was the big move. Then Dada had to leave town for a few days (maybe it was for business, or maybe it was because he got sick of all the boxes). I got a visit from Nana and Papa. I also started going to my new half-day summer camp. And Mama started her new part-time job. Mama's new part-time job means we get a lot more time together, and that's good news for Evan Jake. It's been a lot of new adjustments, but I'm feeling pretty good right now.

Meanwhile, Mama and Dada are slowly unpacking all the boxes. And the ones they don't unpack fast enough, I try to help.

I really like the new place. Of course there are the stairs. So, if you'll indulge me, I'd like to just bask in the glory of the stairs for a moment. That's me in the first picture walking down my new stairs.

From the bottom floor, all the way to the top, just outside my new room, there are 30 steps in all. And in between, there no less than three separate gates. I guess Mama and Dada don't want me on the stairs alone just yet, so they try to lock me out. It's a nice effort. But it's not going to work for long. Trust me. And all those Evan-Jake-proof cabinet locks Mama just put on? Dada can't seem to work them too well and says a naughty word every time he tried to open one. I should have those figured out before he does. Mark my words.

In addition to the stairs, I also have a great new play area. That's me in the second picture in the family room playing with my toys. That little table is just my size and I love it. Apparently it's a family heirloom. My Bubbe had that table when she was my size and so did my Dada. So I will do my best not to destroy it. (Notice the "heirloom" 1970s vintage SIMON on the table as well. I like the flashing lights.)

Mama and Dada are also running around and getting lots of new things for the house. Mama bought some new appliances. When my Papa was here, he installed a brand new kitchen sink. It's so big and beautiful, I almost wish I could go back to the days when I took my baths in the sink. Also dada got himself some kicking new speakers for the family room. (You should hear my Baby Einstein videos on these. They sound so sweet.)

So the house is slowly taking shape. Hopefully soon you all can come over and help finish unpacking!

Looks good so far, love the little table. We are going to get one pretty soon too, but it won't be nearly as cool as the one passed down your family!
Happy un-packing!
