Yesterday was Thanksgiving and we had a wonderful day. We were in Sacramento this year and celebrated with Richard's family. We had a great time. Evelyn loved playing with her cousins and half the time she was off playing by herself with her cousin. It is nice that she is at the point we don't have to worry about what she is doing every minute. Camille did ok although she didn't make it easy to eat dinner. Thanks Richard for taking her so I could eat.
There are so many things to be thankful for this year. I am thankful so my and my family's health. I am thankful for Camille and the joy she has brought into our lives. I am also thankful for my job and that it has allowed so many other opportunities for our family because I have gone back to work. There are a million other things to be thankful for but don't need to state.
To my friends and family; I love you and care for you very much. I wish you happiness all year long. Thank you for who you are and all that you do.

Happenings...
Things have been busy around here lately. We spent Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in Tahoe with the girls and had a wonderful time. Evelyn loves going to Tahoe and when you ask her where she wants to go she says, "Tahoe." We didn't do much while we were there except spend time with the girls. We took some walks, went in the pool and took naps. It was great to get away for a few days.
Evelyn now knows how to say her first and last name together and it is so stinking cute! She is doing great and talking in complete sentences more and more and is still polite as can be. She shares with Camille and even asks for 2 of anything so that Camille can have one. It is really sweet that she cares so much about her sister that she thinks of her that way. She knows Camille's birthday is coming up so she is singing Happy Birthday to her and says that she is going to be 1. How can she get any cuter?
Camille is great and is sleeping so much better. She is sleeping from about 7:30 until 5:30-6 which is awesome and I feel like a new person. She is babbling more and knows how to say mama, dada and dogdog. She points at things she wants or will bring them to you if she can get to them. She also loves her sister and wants to be around her all the time. She tries to wake Evelyn up in the morning by pounding on the door to her room. Her personality is shining through more and more each day. She is a VERY focused and determined girl. When she wants something she will do anything to try and get it. She is a powerhouse of strength and loves to walk around and explore. Her 1st birthday is less than 2 weeks away and I ponder how that happened so fast. My baby is walking, talking and turning 1. It is truly amazing the transformation that happens within a year and we look forward to the years to come.
Richard and I are doing great. We were able to get out of the house a couple of weeks ago while Lavon watched the girls so that was great. It is hard having time for ourselves when we have 2 kids always clinging to us and wanting our attention. We do pretty good even though we don't have much alone time. I am hoping that now that Camille is older we will be able to leave them more often with other people and Richard and I can get away alone. It is nice to be able just to hold hands.
I think that is most of what is happening around here. We are gearing up for Thanksgiving and the holidays fast approaching us. Looking forward to seeing family for Thanksgiving, Camille's Birthday and Christmas.

Halloween
We went to Grass Valley in the morning to visit with some old friends and see their son. After lunch we drove home and the girls slept. Then we went to a Harvest Festival at Lavon's Church. Evelyn had a blast in the bounce houses. She went down this massive slide and loved it. She kept going back. After that I took Camille home and Richard and Evelyn went to Mark and Cheryl's for dinner and trick or treating. They had fun.
Today has been a little rough. I think they are both overtired from all the festivities yesterday and to throw the time change on top of it just makes it FANTASTIC!
Here are some pictures:
