15 months old

Evelyn is now 15 months old.  How time flies!  She is a great baby.  Very smiley, loves playing with her big sister and is sleeping through the night almost all the time (excluding whenever we spend the night at Mom and Dad's).  She got her check-up yesterday.  Didn't even flinch when they poked her finger, but screamed just to lay down on the table.  Weight 22lbs (62%), length 30.5in (48%).

 

She loves bananas

We got a backsplash put in.  We think it looks great!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week.  Dad turned 60! (Yikes)  Enjoyed playing with all of our cousins in the fanciest playroom ever. 

 

Evelyn took one look at this plate and decided it was naptime (or maybe I just wanted to eat my meal without interruptions)

Making cookie dough

Audrey helped me make chocolate chip cookie dough tonight.  She was a good helper, though we probably have a second batch on the floor :)

 

Fun Saturday

 

 

I took a very similar picture of Audrey at this age.

I took the girls to the Children's Discovery Museum in Bloomington.  We had a good time.

The smock did not keep Audrey from getting soaked

Audrey performing surgery one-handed.

Evelyn enjoyed "wandering".  I couldn't find her for a minute and discovered her at the water table.

Driving the combine.  You can see that Evelyn got soaked at the water table also.

Then we took Avanti's to Daddy for lunch. 

Hopefully this is not something we have to worry about in the future.

Audrey was "sleeping" while I made dinner.

Halloween trick-or-treating

It was a cold, windy Halloween night, but Audrey and Brian braved the weather with her cousins and uncles.  They got lots of treats!  Probably because they were among the very few who were crazy enough to be out ;)

 

It was impossible to get them together for a pic.  Audrey was an ear of corn and Evelyn was a tomato.  Thanks Mom! for making their costumes :)

I dressed up as Doc McStuffins for my half-day of work, but, of course, saw no kids that morning.

The brave ones that left the house; Batman Daniel, Ninja Chuck, Elsa Emmie and Audrey

Pumpkin Party

Brian took the girls to the Cropsey Halloween party on Monday.  They had a really good time.  Audrey loved her pumpkin full of goodies.  They both liked the cupcakes they got to bring home.

Pumpkin farm - take 2

In preparation of my girls' weekend, I took the day off today.  Decided it was a good morning to go to the pumpkin farm.  It wasn't too crowded and had good weather, finally.  We had a good time - Audrey's favorite, once again, was the giant pillow (picture not included).
