Evie and Frank's Page!: So, we've been delinquent

It has just been a really busy times with colds, illness, work, school, play, etc that we haven't had much of a chance to fill you in on our lives. Unfortunately, probably nothing too exciting to tell, but we've been having lots of fun--it is hard to believe Evie will be two years old in about a month!

Big news since last update:

Evie is finally teething again--she only has 11 teeth right now but she has two coming in--one top front and another bottom front. She is doing pretty well with it but is a bit fussy from time to time. I am sure it hurts!'
Evie went to urgent care for more funky breathing--they did a chest Xray and she is in good shape, just when she gets a cold (guaranteeing we get one eventually too) it makes it really hard for her to breathe. Hopefully she will not end up with asthma.
We had Evie's first parent-teacher conference and she is doing really well, right on track or ahead for most areas they assessed. It is pretty cool that OSU does these so young. They use Brigance for their assessments.
She can get her pants on (and off) by herself. She almost has the hang of coats and jackets but shirts are still alluding her.
Evie continues to be obsessed with the mall, stores and shopping. She has cried a few times when we got home and I took her out of the car because she didn't want to go home--she wanted to be at the store!
She can say just about anything (so be careful). She can sing several songs from CDs we own and she is almost able to do the entire alphabet song. In addition, she has the vocabulary to be bossy, fun and we can usually figure out what she wants and what is wrong.
Evie can be quite the drama queen (as she screams in the background because she doesn't like the cup her water is in.) Some of you might have noticed this when we were at Mike and Mo's to see Brew. Sorry 'bout that. On the plus side, her moods and faces are fascinating.
Peanut, peanut butter...Evie has successfully eaten peanut butter and cashew butter three times now with no sign of allergic reaction, fingers crossed!
Snow! Evie has helped 'shovel' and she LOVES her snow pants. She wouldn't take them off for hours yesterday even after we came inside. She really wants to be outside today but it IS a blizzard out there. FYI Delaware County has been level 3 snow emergency most of the day. Here is some photo evidence:
