A Busy Week

We spent Halloween at Dave's parents home. I fixed dinner for Dave and his parents since not only was it Dave's birthday but it was also Max and Delpha's anniversary of 59 years. Wow! I think that maybe this is the last year to try to celebrate both on the same day as Halloween because it is just becoming harder to get everyone together at the same time because all the little ones need to be out trick-or-treating too. Maybe we can do it the night before or after next year.
Here is little Max, the newest addition to the Evans family. He is Brett and Jenny's little sweet pea. He is such a little dolly.

Charo spent a little time on Saturday with us and as you can see Byron loved her glasses. Anyone with glasses has to be on guard as he is quick as can be ripping them off of your face. Just ask Dave and GG (Delpha). He also knew she was a softy and began climbing on the arm of the futon and jumping (or rather free-falling) on her. He is busy as can be and on the run.

Emma kept busy wrapping a birthday gift for me and making a turkey for my refrigerator. She is such a great little helper with cookie baking and helping with the little ones.

Thanksgiving turkey just around the corner!

Lucy and Byron checking on the chickens. I let them gather the eggs but between the two of them they were flying in the basket. We came out with only two broken eggs...not bad for a couple of two-year-olds.

Lucy is now into making lots of faces. Aunt Kelli is teaching her some beauties. Thanks to Aunt Kelli, Byron sticks his food out of his mouth when he see her. Poor Jill! We used to blame all of the bad habits on Brian but now we know.

My little helper....Emmy

See what I mean!

Emma began a small book for Lucy. Here is the first illustration.
