Happy Halloween!

This was the first year we went out all four of us and we had a great time. We went with the whole neighborhood and had a great time. The girls were adorable and we even got Evelyn to say "trick or treat" and Camille to say "treat". It was fun seeing all the people out with their kids. I even ran into some students and got the "Hi Mrs. B..." I look forward to the coming years where I don't have to carry a kids the whole time. Anyways, enjoy the pictures!

Happy Halloween!

Crazy Month...

It has not been a month since I last posted but it has been too long. So many things have happened and this may get long winded.

The biggest news probably is that I stopped my Master's. It was a hard decision but the right one. I feel like the pressure is sooooo much less now and I am happier all around. Even though I was only in school two nights a week, I still had a ton of work to do for school the other days. I didn't feel like I had time to do anything fun and enough time with my family.

In other news, Camille is talking up a storm. Her newest word is "IcsH" which is "ice." It is adorable. She now walks around talking to herself. At daycare today she woke up the other kids because she was talking so much and so loud. It is so much nicer now because she can stay more and explain more of what she wants.

Camille is now in a big girl bed. I decided on a whim (much like I often do) that she was ready for it. So on Sunday night about 15 minutes before bedtime, Richard converted her crib to a toddler bed. I was worried about starting on a work night but there was no time like the present. We did our routine and I told her to get in her big girl bed, she hopped in and went to sleep. So far she has done great. She is really proud of herself.

Evelyn is great. She is developing her imagination in so many ways it is just fun to watch her. She is so aware of things happening around her and ask why something is that way. We had to explain to her about a fish that died and she seemed like she understood. She officially know all her letters, although sometimes she calls "s" "c". She can also tell you the sound that they make and can do so even if you go completely random. I am pretty impressed.

Evelyn is going to start Private Preschool on Monday at daycare. I think she is ready. She has been in the same class (which we all love) but they are starting to repeat things in there and I worry about her getting bored. I think this will be a fun and challenging program for her. We are all excited.

Richard is doing well. Trying to fix things on the house when I give him the chance. It can be so hard because time on the weekend just flies by. We almost need to take a day off to get things done without kids around.

Other than that things are good and we still love it her. I will post video of Camille talking soon. For now enjoy some pictures.

***On a different note, please pray for my grandmother who is not doing well. We love her very much.
