Evelyn Allen

This is an exciting time for us. We got a new cousin! She finally came home from the hospital last night. When my sister got out of the car, Kate said, "Bring her in so we can pet her!" Then once we were inside, Sophia could not leave Evelyn alone. She was SO excited! Even this morning she makes these grunting noises (that she was making last night) and pointing like we should go see the baby again. Here are the pics of my girls with this beautiful, loved little girl.

I went to schneph farm again today. I swear that every year I say I will never go back. I smell like a cow. And my camera flash card was "locked". I didn't even know that you could do that. So now I'm home, smelling like a cow, without any good pictures to prove that I love Kate enough to go. Fun.

Ummm... It's nearly NOVEMBER!!!!

I am amazed at how quickly the last couple months have gone. WHERE HAVE I BEEN?!??! Dave and I hit a HS reunion in Long Beach for him (my girls now identify VW bugs wherever we go).

We went camping in October with some families and it was chilly!

The girls LOVE BUGS!!!!We also have done a dozen family days working on the house etc. Dave finally planted winter grass. It has taken him 4 years living here to get motivated to do it. Okay, so it's only the front yard. But it's a start.

I've been quilting . As soon as I finish one, I think of another I'd like to make. I love being able to de-stress this way. My husband is a good sport about it - and Sophie loves to help. The girls got their costumes in September (otherwise we wouldn't have got it done). Unfortunately, I left it until the night before the ward trunk or treat to alter them. Hmmm.... Interesting interpretation of a pirate, Beth. :) Sophie is a princess (renessaince style) maybe we'll see her better on Friday.We finally painted our pumpkins today - yes, we live in the pumpkin eating mold state. So, no major events, but we're happy.
