Reading With Rover

Evelyn took a trip with Grammy to the library for a special "Reading with Rover" (real name: Connor) literacy fun day. Here are a few highlights.





Daddy and Mama love to see that she gets healthy snack at Grammy's house, too! (although the "snowman" was pleading not to have his arm bitten off at the time).

When's that little darlin' Coming?

...because Evelyn has a lot of love to share!


"Come on out and join the family, baby!"


Check out this video of Evvie declaring her love for the baby...44 times.

That's Snow Fun

Another big New England Storm cancellled schoool on Monday and gav us another great opportunity to enjoy the winter. (Although, speaking personally, I've enjoyed about all the winter that I have the capacity for at this point!)

We built a skinny snowman and played for a long while in the new white stuff. It's all a pretense for drinking hot cocoa, though!


Here's a sweet one.


Here's a bizarre one.

That's Not Breakfast!

...what sort of craziness goes on around there in the mornings?



Evelyn has been asking about the baby all the time. She's ready to be a big sister, and especially fired up about all of the new things she will be able to teach the new baby...from walking to talking to galloping to peeing on the potty.

I worry a little that after the initial honeymoon period she'll be disappointed at how little the baby can do, how much of our attention she/he takes up, and how much noise she/he makes. We're starting at a really good place, though, and nothing is going to change the fact that Evelyn is older, knows more, and will be looked up to by the new baby.

Making Cookies

Happy Valentines Day! Evvie made gingerbread cookies almost all by herself!

Here's how it's done...
