Thanksgiving Pics

We had a nice, quiet Thanksgiving at Nana's house. 

 Making pilgrims' hats the night before. 

Someone couldn't wait to try them--notice the bite taken out?!

Playing in the dirt. Not a bit of snow to be found! :(

World Prematurity Day

Take a minute today to say a prayer for all of those little babies in the NICU right now; for the moms and the dads who wait and hope; and for the doctors and nurses who take such amazing care of these little miracles.

Wordless Wednesday

Close Look

This little girl really loves going to the library. We usually go to a smaller, neighborhood one for story time because it's not as busy and there aren't usually as many kids at story time as there are at the bigger libraries. Sometimes, though, we stop in at one of the bigger locations. Today was one of those days. Eva G loves looking at the sweet storybook houses they have. They really are quite neat. There are lots of different characters from lots of different books. You see the Sheep in a Jeep in the front yard and the Three Little Kittens' mittens on the line...that sort of thing. Definitely fun and always worth a close look.

The weather was so nice earlier this week that we took advantage of it and headed to the zoo. We met daddy at work and then went to see the animals. It's a really different experience to be at the zoo in the middle of the week in the late afternoon. There were just a handful of people and we got to see some of the things that happen when the animals are getting ready for the night.

Happy Halloween!

Here's our little Halloween robot. 

Our pumpkins. 

The little one was the last tiny one left in our little pumpkin patch in our garden. 

Not so scary jack-o'-lanterns.

Eva G did a little bit of trick or treating around our neighborhood and visited a few friends' houses. It was a great night to be out and the weather was really mild, so we didn't need to bundle up and hide the costume.
