Ducks!

Farm Day

Yesterday was a busy, but fun day. In the morning we went to Huber Farm in Indiana. Everett spent most of the time just running around. We then shopped at the farmer's market and had lunch at the cafe. Everett seemed to have a great time and I thought for sure he would fall asleep in the car, but he was a ball of energy! After nap time, we then decided to make a yummy dinner of chicken/herb tortellini and olive salad crostinis. After dinner we then went to "duck park" and watched others feed the ducks. There were at least 100 of them! Everett was definitely not afraid and I caught him saying "duck" several times. If we wanted to teach him to say that word, that was the way to do it! Finally, we ended the day the way every day should end- dessert. Pumpkin cheesecake-a little Fall preview.

A Few Fall Crafts

Tonight I decided to work on a few Fall projects. I have been wanting a simple toddler book bag as a replacement for Everett's diaper bag. I ran across this one at Hobby Lobby and decided to personalize it. Much simpler than the big bulky diaper bag we have been hauling around! It has been awhile since I have made Everett some shirts, so I decided to make them Fall-themed. The last picture is an applique I want to put on a shirt for Thanksgiving. I am not sure what size Ev will be exactly when it comes that time, so I decided to wait on that one. Hopefully, more to come!

Fun with the Nasal Aspirator

A Fun Weekend

We had a great weekend. Saturday we did some cleaning, but then Everett and I went out shopping. I found him some great shoes for Fall/Winter. Saturday evening we had friends over for dinner. They have two little girls, one Ev's age and a 3 year old. It was fun to see Everett interact with other kids on his "turf." He did great. Sunday we went to church, where Everett made it through the nursery. He is still not playing with the other kids (he just wants to be held) but he is not crying as much....so we are making progress. Sunday afternoon Eric and Ev slept for a few hours....I was so bored! I love having some "me" time, but after about an hour I didn't know what to do with myself! I wanted my boys to wake up and play! After naps, we went and picked up sandwiches and went to a new park. It was cool outside, so we weren't miserable. That evening after Everett went to bed, Eric and I watched "A Time to Kill" which I had never seen. I really enjoyed it. Overall, a weekend of time with the family....which is a perfect weekend in my book :)

Just Because

I had to post these pictures of Everett tonight, just because he is so cute!!! The shirt he is wearing is the same one I used to wear as a toddler.

Everett At Play

Last night I read our blog from start to finish. It was really fun to look back and read from the beginning up until now. I especially loved watching the videos and since it has been awhile since I have posted one, I thought I would tonight. Here is Everett dragging the toy horse that his Gigi got him. Play is what Everett does best, and it is really fun to watch.
