In the middle of the month she went to the Tucson International School's international day festival where she got to meet some of the kids she will get to go to school with, play some games and see both Chinese dragon dancers and a bagpipe troupe!
Then last Friday we took a trip to the Tucson botanical gardens to see the butterflies. (I won't subject you to my scads of butterfly photos here... but there were some really cool ones!) Saturday morning we all got up early for Patrick to race in a 5k obstacle course race with a crew of folks from his firm. Evie just had to do the warm ups with her daddy (and would have done the mud pit too if we had let her!) On Saturday night Evie went with us to a dinner party with some other attorneys from Patrick's firm. She was the only kid there and did a great job of just going with the flow (the seven cats that lived in the house certainly helped her mood... Evie is just a little kitty obsessed these days)
But the best part about the past month has been time with friends! Evie got to spend time with Isaac and Eva both at international day and at the racquetball club last Friday night. Evie and Eva were so cute running around and hiding in the trees... Genevieve followed her around like a little lost puppy... too cute. She also got to spend a whole day with Edie last Sunday while Bridget and Hampton went rock climbing. And last, but certainly, not least, is all the time she spends with her BFF Riley during the day (and during the weekend at the beginning of the month while we watched Riley so Nicole could work at a rummage sale unencumbered). As Evie would say "Hip Hop Hooray" for friends!
