Here's a short video of Evangelyn and some of her latest tricks. There's no rolling over, yet, but she makes lots of fun sounds and likes to try to eat things. The best is at the end, so you'll have to watch the entire film to see her really laugh.

Snowy Day!
We had a snow day today!
It was the most snow England has seen in 18 years and we loved it! It began to snow yesterday afternoon and continued off and on throughout the night. I woke up at 3:30am to check on Evangelyn and everything was white outside. It was so bright that I had trouble falling back asleep. Then at about 6am we got a call from work to tell us school was canceled. Aaaah. We all slept in, even Evie. It felt like a holiday. We made pancakes for breakfast, went to the Bowsers to watch Lost and Heroes, and then played in the snow until the sun went down. I learned how to roll proper snowballs for snowmen from my friend, Erica, and we all made a Chong snow family. Tomorrow we get to do it all again because there's still snow on the ground and school is closed again!

baby jet lag
1:37 a.m.
Our third night back in England and the only way my baby will sleep. After two nights of 10 to 30 minute naps all night long, with crying and calming in between, I have given up on trying to put her in her crib where she cries the most painful, heart wrenching cry. In my arms, or her dad's, she's as peaceful as can be, so she's in my arms and may just stay in them until morning.

More Evangelyn
Here are some fun pictures of Evangelyn from the last month or so.
Two very exciting things have happened in the last week. The first - Evangelyn rolled from her tummy to her back! The second - Evangelyn laughed! The day before yesterday for the first time! I thought I was hearing things, but then she did it again yesterday and her dad was witness, too. Now, my favorite thing to do is try to make her laugh. Her favorite sounds to make sound like baby dinosaurs. We think those sounds are her trying to laugh and every once in a while a real laugh really does come out.

In Brugge
We took a weekend trip to Brugge...roamed around the streets and canals, shopped at the Christmas markets, drank hot wine and hot delicious chocolate. It was Evangelyn's first trip across the channel and to the continent. She loved it and was so good...except at around 10:30pm. She fought sleep for about an hour and we didn't want to let her cry herself to sleep because we were in a hotel. She finally fell asleep when we put her in her stroller and pushed it back and forth in the hotel room.
