Who looks more excited?

Because this is what they're doing:


 

Happy Thanksgiving!

We have SO SO much to be thankful for this year and had a wonderful time celebrating with the Joe Birds and the Danahers.

We've done lots of work on the house lately.  That combined with a festive start of the holiday season really is making our house seem like a home.  There's finally a light at the end of the tunnel.  Thank you, God for all we've been given this year--good and bad.  It's truly been amazing.

Also, Jon cooked the best turkey I've every had in my life.  Seriously--it was insanely delicious.  Go JB!  I had no idea a dairy-free Thanksgiving could be so good.  Yum.

9 Months!

I know it's not really a milestone, but for some reason, Evie hitting 9 months makes her birthday seem like it's just around the corner?  How is that possible?!

Anyway, since I've been stinking at blogging lately, here the latest of that lovely little munchkin.

She now has two teeth, climbs on everything, waves at everyone, cries when she sees me if I'm not holding her, finally sleeps for 8+ hour stretches at night, loves giving kisses (I love it when Fiona asks for a kiss!) and in general is absolutely delicious and delightful.  She also finally learned how clap.  Not sure why it took so long, but I think she just figured it out yesterday, and is pretty excited about her new trick.  She also continues to be very serious--especially for strangers (and the camera).  The fact that she loves waving at them so much makes her stare-down that much funnier.

 Oh, and this is her other favorite expression.  Accompanied by, "ooo, ooo, ooo, oooo."
