Finally Slowing Down

Life has been super busy, but is finally slowing down a little, which is a welcome change of pace. This Saturday was the first Saturday in since the last weekend in September that I was in town. For real:)

I have had the uber plague head cold now turned sinus infection but seem to be on the mend now. Evie was running a fever late Sunday but whatever that was all about seems to have been very short-lived. Max, of course, has not been sick at all. Grandma is recovering well from surgery and we hope to hang out with her tomorrow--since I have been sick we haven't been over much.

Last weekend we went to Norwalk Ohio for Andrew Fay's baptism. I was one of his sponsors and he did really good during the ceremony--didn't cry at all (unlike the shenanigans of the Juner a year ago this time). Here we are afterwards:
Evie was not a fan of sharing mommy, but she did alright...except for screaming with daddy in the church play room during the service. We also finally got Evie a halloween costume(s)...one if very girlie and fun--Tinkerbell:The other is super cute, warm and cuddly...if you like spiders that is!We went to Glenn's 2nd annual Halloween party and did a mini-parade (see above) so folks could see the costumes.

What have we been up to for the past month?

Well, it has been quite a lot. Evie started at OSU daycare two weeks ago and things are going well so far. They are being really responsible about her milk allergy and we hope to have no further problems. The other little kids in the room seem really nice too.

Mommy is teaching a class at Newark Thursday evenings, so that keeps life extra busy. Grandma V just had surgery on her neck to fuse it together and remove some bone spurs and she is recovering pretty well.

The last weekend in September, we went to Hocking Hills with Nana and Grandpa. We had a great time hiking, pumpkin picking and letter-boxing. It was a perfect weekend for being out in the country.
The first weekend in October, mommy and Beth and Carrie (plus Mo and her sister Christina), went to Berlin Oh/Amish Country for their annual shop, eat and relax weekend. We had a lot of fun and ate a ton of good food!

This weekend, we went to Randy and Heather's wedding--it was beautiful and we had a lot of fun. Heather looked fantastic--just like a princess. Evie kept running around just so she could stare at her in her pretty dress. She also had fun with Abby, Katie and Allison.

Evie and Abby.

Evie now has four molars (her first on both sides and top and bottom). We went today for her 18 month pictures. She was super crabby but they actually turned out pretty good in spite of that. You'll see in two weeks:)
