Back from the UK, and Evan's first food!

We're back from a magnificent trip to the UK. We had a wonderful time. Our time there mainly consisted of taking care of the world's cutest baby and glancing at Britain, but those glances were amazing, and Evan did great! I took enough photos for a year's worth of blogs, so it will be an endeavor to sort through them and get them on this blog.

Evan had a fun surprise while we were staying in the countryside. We went to visit our friends Lindsey and John and stay with their family. One day we were eating ice cream. John's mom (Margaret) was holding Evan, and she gave him a clean spoon to play with while she ate her ice cream. Evan dropped the spoon, and as Margaret reached to the floor to pick it up, Evan grasped the spoon that was in her bowl of ice cream and brought it to his mouth. We'll never forget the look of shock and happiness on his face! We all paused for a second to see what he would do, and he immediately lunged for the bowl! It was awesome!

I always dreamed that Evan's first food would be something like carrots or bananas, but no, it was ice cream! Lol!!

Here are a few photos taken about a week after that. Mark was eating an ice cream bar...

Stay tuned for more photos of our adventures!
