I have no words to express the sadness I am feeling. My heart, love, and prayers go out to the victims and their families of the horrific shooting in Conn. This senseless act of violence took the lives of many children. I can not even imagine the pain and grief the families are experiencing. I am going to hug and kiss sweet Evelyn extra hard tonight.

Happy Thanksgiving! We had a wonderful holiday. We went over to the in-laws for Thanksgiving and Evelyn was the life of the party. Yesterday we had our annual Friendsgiving. Evelyn had a blast playing with the other little ones. She enjoyed going outside, rearranging the toy chairs, and chasing the older kids. Also we got pictures done for our Christmas cards. Next weekend we are going to see Santa. I cannot believe Christmas is almost here! Hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday season!

Evelyn is now 18 months old and a bright, happy girl. She loves being outside, playing with her toys, reading, and cuddling. Her vocabulary is growing as well, we practice our alphabet and numbers every day. Evee is becoming more social as well. She loves story time at the library and when we see our friend's children. We do allow 20 minutes of Curious George before bedtime. Evelyn enjoys watching the little monkey while snuggling with Mommy or Daddy.

I apologize that I have not written in a month. Work has been crazy busy and Evelyn is very active as well. It's hard to believe she is almost 18 months old. We are staying in today, waiting for Hurricane Sandy to blow away. So far in her short life Evee has experienced two earthquakes, a tornado, and now 2 hurricanes. We have been very busy during the weekends. Last weekend we went to King Richard's Faire with a bunch of friends. Evelyn was a blue fairy, thanks to a special friend for making her dress. Evee loves life and is always very busy. We are preparing for the holiday season and an exciting Christmas. Hope you have a nice day.

First full of week work went well. The kids are tough but coming home to Evelyn makes it worth every moment. She is a sweetheart and a hurricane. Evelyn loves the warm fall weather we are having as well. She enjoys going on walks, playing with bubbles, and running around outside. Tomorrow we are going to visit a friend who has a new baby. We will see how Evelyn likes being around a real baby. Have a nice day.

I can not believe summer is over. In two days, I am going to start a new job. I will miss spending my days playing with Evelyn. She is such a lovely girl, full of life. She loves reading, playing, exploring, and talking with us. We are going to start swimming lessons up again next week and I am looking into daycare for the winter. This means Evelyn will met some more little ones as playmates. I will miss my free time with Evee but this job is a good step in my future career path. Hopefully all will go well.

Today we went to the Roger Williams Zoo as a family. We had a blast and Evelyn enjoyed seeing all the animals. She has been a busy girl. Running around the house and outside are her favorite things. Evee also enjoys taking out all the potholders and towels. She runs around with the towel on her back like a cape. It's adorable! Tomorrow we are going swimming. Have a nice night!
