Photo Shoots are a lot harder now!

Evie invited her friend Logan over to play this morning. We had a really nice visit. I really like his Mommy, Amanda. She is so sweet! It's so fun to watch the babies play with each other. Evie gets a little too close for Logan. She's an in your face kinda girl! Logan was not so sure about that but they warmed up to each other.

I had another person come to look at my kitchen and give me some ideas. It's starting to get a little overwhelming. We are not sure what we want yet except new floors and countertops. Anything we do will be better than it is now!

Evie went down for her nap without a tear. Thank goodness because I had a lot to do around the house. I took a few pictures of Evie this afternoon in her Christmas dress. It was crazy trying to capture Evie on film while keeping her safe. She was much easier to photograph when she couldn't move. I have a new appreciation for photographers. There is a reason that they charge so much - it's hard work and a valuable skill.

Then we went to run a few errands to prepare for our Thanksgiving trip. My SIL, Lollie, called while we were out to tell me that Lucy has H1N1. Oh no, poor Lucy will be sick for Turkey Day! Mary went back with Carl's parents. They were in town for Grandparent's day at Mary's school. She is so excited to see Evie! I hope Lucy gets better and that everyone else stays well. Children always seem to get sick around the holidays. Evie has not had the vaccinations for either type of flu. We are STILL on the waiting list. I hope Lollie, Kurt and Lucy can make it for Thanksgiving. Mary is such a big girl to travel to Sheshe and Poppy's. Evie cannot wait to see her cousin Mary.

My new camera finally arrived today. I am excited to learn how to use it because I have seen some amazing pictures taken with this type of camera. At least, I have something to do on the way to Carl's parents - I can read all the information about my camera. Can't wait to get some good shots of the girls.

Well, I need to get busy packing! Evie was a dream today. We had such a great day with her. She's getting more fun each day. We are so thankful for our little turkey!
