Colorado Girls Week 2

Blog Note: I have now added the pictures to "Happy Five Month Birthday, Baby Girl!" and no one has answered the quiz, so I am reposting the questions and the person with the most right answers by September wins a prize (no need to know all the answers, just one).

POP QUIZ:
1. Where did Evelynd's first name come from?
2. What is her middle name?
3. What do we call all four of her grandparents and her two greatgrandparents?
4. Who is leading the AL East?
5. How many years old is Samson?
6. What day did Evelynd first laugh?
7. How many hours did I have to push during labor?
8. Who was our first visitor at the hospital?
9. When did Evelynd first roll over?
10. What was Evelynd's birth weight?

On Sunday, after everyone else had left, it was Evelynd, Nana, Uncle Nick, and Grandpa (until he flew to L.A.), and me.  We went to church and had a pretty quiet day.  Evelynd picked her dress.

Then, she got her first taste of peas.

Monday started with Evelynd riding Hardy -- a REAL horse -- and then grocery shopping.

As for Tuesday, see the "Happy Five Month Birthday" post.

On Wednesday we met up with Mary Carter and finally got to meet her baby Bridget.  Mary has been my friend since 7th grade.  On July 16, 2010, she called me to announce that she was pregnant.  As we were on the phone, Dassow Daddy (then, as far as we knew, just Dassow Hubby) walked in with my pregnancy test. I called her back a little later with an announcement of my own.  So we were pregnant with our first babies with due dates two months apart.  Once we found out that Mary was having a girl, we had to wait two more months to find out whether Mary's baby was getting a best friend or future husband.  On August 17, the best friends finally got to meet during a trip to the Denver Zoo (in overwhelming heat).

Evelynd was sleepy during the whole trip, so it was probably not the best zoo experience possible, but she definitely enjoyed the bird show.

Our first view of Baby Bridget.

That night Nana wanted to try a Dassow Dinner, so we had the Mini Greek Turkey Burgers and Cucumber Sauce.  She liked them so much that poor Uncle Nick didn't get any -- we finished them off before he got home from work.

Thursday was a work day.  We got things organized in the Evans house and increased their computer speed so it was actually usable!  Good news!  I also invented a new Dassow Dinner (a Greek Quesadilla) that was a big success.

Friday we relaxed and Dassow Daddy went downtown to have lunch with a law school friend.  That night, Grandpa returned.

Saturday was swimming at the Goldings and then dinner with Mike, Mary, and Bridget.  Evelynd liked Mike so much, he would just look at her and she would laugh.  

 It was a fun night and a good trip.  We had to get up early the next morning to catch a flight home, so as for our return trip and what we have done since then, that will have to be the next post because I'm tired.  Nighty-night.

P.S. The Red Sox won three games during this week -- not their best week.
