Evie today

I can't believe how grown up Evie is already!  She's about 10 1/2 months old, and she's ready to be a toddler!  Here she is feeding herself....

And dancing to the music that Jack's dump truck plays.

What a big girl!

November is coming!

I always forget how quickly November sneaks up on me.  I can't believe October is almost over already, and NaNoWriMo is just around the corner!  I'm scrambling to get everything done so I can focus on those 50,000 words in 30 days.  Eek!

meeting the cousins

Some, if not all, of my readers know that my sister Alison and her two kids recently moved to McMinnville (and more specifically, to a room in our house) for a few weeks/months while they get settled in Oregon and find their own apartment.

We've had four kids under five years old in the house! Hence the silence on the blog. ;)

Here's a quick video from the very first day when everyone was meeting each other. I figured I'd get the blogging-ball rolling again with this, and see if I can't get more posted tomorrow!
