A fun end to October

My girls enjoyed the last few weeks of having mommy around 24/7. We didn't do much those last few days though, just hung out around home for the most part. Well that and spent lots of time going back and forth to the doctor's office- eye appt for me, a sick visit for Evie, and Lydia's 2-mos chekup. Evie had a slight case of viral croup- that is a scary little illness!!! She was feeling pretty sick for most of last week... mommy was worried enough to sleep with her two nights, but she's doing much better now without ever needing to take steroids to heal.
Lydia is doing great!! My little girl is right on track with her growth and development according to the pediatrician. She weighed in at 10lbs, 14oz and is now 22 1/2 inches tall. She's at about 75% comparitively. She's so full of sweet smiles and funny little noises now. She likes laying down on the boppy pillow and just looking around at all the action (which there is plenty of with Evie running around!)
My transition back to work went well this past week. Though I wasn't so happy that it was a very, very busy week full of lots of outside visits and not much in-office time. It's hard getting home late and not having much time to play with my girls now!
Gabe is doing good too. He's been busy winterizing the house, we need to everything possible to keep warm in this drafty old house! He's hoping a job interview goes great for him tomorrow!!! I sure hope it works out for him!

Well enough chat... here's why you really stopped by! :)




Unfortunately she prefers to play in the living room instead of in her room... my house is always a disaster until we clean up at bedtime!


I was SO happy to get to see one of my oldest and bestest friends last weekend! Angie came up to visit for the weekend, I only got her for a few hours, but still so nice. She loved meeting Lydi for the first time.


So alert... she loves laying and looking around


Look at that huge grin!




Evie when she was feeling pretty under the weather. She got spoiled with lots of movie-time on the couch.


I thought this was too cute not to take a picture of! Evie loves her fairy princess costume... I thought it looked like Lydi's guardian angel holding her... :)


Pumpkin carving time w/ Daddy


She wasn't much help... just supervised from the boppy


Really? I don't even know what to say here... she's just that crazy


Cute now..


The full Princess costume! Oh did she ever get oooohed and aaahed over.


It was CHILLY for trick-or-treating but she said she wanted to keep going around and getting candy... was not ready to quit!


Lydi kept the costume simple :)
