Evan Joshua: "God is gracious; the LORD saves"
I think when we decided on a name for our first baby, we explained our reasoning to most people: she's named Ella after my grandma; Ella means "light" and Christine means "follower of Christ." But I've told fewer people why we picked the name Evan for our little boy.
Strangely enough, when I was a silly high school girl imagining who I would marry and how many kids I would have, "Evan" was one of the names I had picked out (so was Ella). So it made the list of names we were considering, because I liked it. When we were looking through all those names, we found out that Evan is actually a form of the name John--which, of course, is Johnny's name, and means something like "God is gracious." I liked the idea of naming my son after Johnny without actually naming him John. His middle name, Joshua, is one of our favorite Old Testament names. There's probably a more accurate translation, but the name books say Joshua means "the LORD saves."

The Story of Evan
About a week after we celebrated Ella's first birthday, we were "surprised" to learn that the Lord was blessing us with another child. Evan Joshua Vogt was born April 26, 2010 at 10:42 am. He was 8 lbs 6 oz and 21 1/2 inches. Now he is just over 4 months old, and he's one of the happiest babies I've ever seen. I feel like if I sit and look at him long enough, I can actually see him growing . . . it's hard to believe how big he's gotten already! He has brought us much joy, and I'm so thankful that the Lord gave me a son.

Ella...from 1st birthday to 2nd birthday
Wow...I can't believe how much changes in a year. It's been over a year since I dropped the whole blogging thing, and in that time Ella has gone from a baby to a toddler, and my son was born, and a whole host of other things have happened.
I decided to start by posting pictures of Ella from her first birthday until now. She turns two on the 27th!!
Her first birthday.
Playing guitar with Daddy. (This was when we lived with his parents for a few months.)
December 2009...as you can tell, she's got a passion for her milk!!
January 2010...wearing Daddy's t-shirt. :) And watching the snow with Coda.
March and April:
June or July:
I'll post August pictures after we've had her birthday party.
