One Day at the Park last September

I love this sequence of pictures taken at the park!

This was a separate day at a different park - Arbor Hills.

We went here after school one day.

Evie's Birthday - October 2010

Nana and Papa gave Evie this life-size Dora doll, and she loved it!

Evie wasn't feeling so good that day, actually, come to think of it, neither was Matt.

The kids and Matt had taken turns being VERY sick during mid-late October.

Matt told me at several times during the party and later at a fall-festival that he felt like he was going to pass out. He was also taking antibiotics which usually make him feel like that.

Here's a cute picture of Evie on a day when she felt better!

Wait, I know that isn't a yawn coming from Sally.

Surely this three-year old's celebration was riveting.

The fare was perfect.

Matt's homemade kettlecorn in the big white stockpot.

Bags of the same kettle corn for favors.

Peanuts.

Chocolate pumpkin muffins,

and, to make it extra special, Scott and Tania brought a Starbucks box o' coffee with enough coffee for everyone - it was wonderful to be outside and have it smell and taste like a coffee shop!

Asheville, NC - last November with Evie

Combined with the trip to Pendleton, Evie

and I spent a few days in Asheville, NC with Matt's parents.

This picture always makes me smile and/or laugh.

They had a new neighbor move in next door.

He wasn't much of a conversationalist.

Black Mountain, NC

Pendleton, SC last November with Evie

In November Evie and went to spend some time with my grandmother in Pendleton, South Carolina. When my grandfather passed away last August, I made plans with my grandma to come spend time with her that fall.

It worked out that my sister and her three children came for part of the time.

Evie and her boy cousins had a blast, and we took cute pictures of Mylie.

Due to age differences, Mylie wasn't as interactive :)

Evie and Blaize

Just months apart

Evie on the plane.

She was more fascinated with having her own seatbelt than with flying.

Evie, Alex, Blaize

Love those curls!

On both of them!

Adorable!

Look at her beautiful hands!

Do not mess with this kid!

That's all folks!
