Evan and Mom talk about Florida

We went to Florida. We had a long trip there but we had JetBlue so we had TVs. When we got there we were really, really tired. I mean, really tired! We had a suite at the Disney All-Star Music Resort because they upgraded us from a room to a suite for free!

On the first [...]

Finally, Evan posts again!

Maine
Hi! I’m back with some Maine news. I went to Maine this summer. It was fun. I learned how to play Monopoly and won the second game I ever played. We went kayaking and geocaching. Geocaching is, um, something where you have to find a hidden box with a GPS. We ate lobster. Boy, was [...]

Christmas–Snow–Maplewood–School

Christmas!

Halloween

Boo!
 Did I scare you?

I read [...]

Nature camp

He had his last day of kindergarten yesterday. He participated in a talent show (doing a magic trick) and enjoyed a pizza party. He also received a kindergarten diploma, his report card, and a perfect attendance award! Only [...]

I’ve been good. How are you?
I’ve been having fun at school. I’ve been playing some games. They are fun. Yay!
Um, um.

Evan’s first day of Maplewood

[Note: the following was dictated to Scott by Evan.]

Maplewood was my very [...]
