Eve and Aunt Kate

January has been a crazy month. We needed to recover from our cross country drive to PA and back and then we went to Seattle for the American Farm Bureau meeting and later this week we head to Wichita for another conference. We will be lucky to recover for a few weeks before the baby comes. Anyway, I just wanted to show a cute picture of Eve and her Aunt Kate. My sister Kate was kind enough to come and spend the time watching Eve and they had so much fun. And maybe there will be some Seattle pics coming soon.

Eve's New HairDo

Here are some pics of Eve's new hairdo. She asked for a haircut because her long hair was starting to get in the way and she doesn't like to keep it pulled back. She wanted it short like Dad's but Mom made her settle for Dora. She seems much happier with her little bob and the spunkyness of it fits her personality.

SnowBunny Eve

Today we got a great little snowstorm. It snowed all most of the night and day, but because the snow is so light, its only about 6 inches. We finally made it out this afternoon, to Eve's delight. She had a great time, and had to be offered a candycane in order to come inside when I knew she was cold. Here are some pics and a short video of her discovering the snow again.

My Little Dishwasher

It so nice at this age that Eve wants to help do everything that I do. Here she is trying to help wash dishes. I think she just wants to play in the water.

Meeting Santa

On Thanksgiving, Eve watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and was so excited to see Santa at the end. She waved to the tv and squealed with excitement when she announced to everyone that he had finally arrived. So on Sat. when one of the local towns was having a time to meet Santa, we took her. We were a little nervous that she would be upset, like last year, but as we prepped her for the big moment, we knew she would be ok. She practiced telling him her name and what she wants for Christmas (a Mr. Potatoe Head). It was a very cold night and she was getting cold, but was so happy to meet Santa. She spook loudly to him and didn't really want to get off his lap, but still eagerly obeyed and got her orange they were giving to the kids. It was a nice night and she can't wait to maybe see Santa again when he comes to our town in a few weeks.

State Fair

Here are some fun pictures from last month at the Kansas State Fair. We went to celebrate Tyler's Birthday. Eve had a great time. One of her favorite things was going through some RVs and seeing the "mini houses".
