Lots of Eva Sweetness

Here are some cute Eva pictures from this month so far....

Talking to Momma

Sisters

So much love.

The Littles

Eva's eyes are so big and beautiful. Dave has taken to calling her Bright Eyes.

She loves lights and what more colorful  light is there than the television? No matter where or how I lay her down in the living room, she will turn herself to see it....

Her personality is growing as fast as she is. She's smiling and laughing, cooing and squealing, and loves, loves, loves faces. She can be really crying and just having someone come talk to her is enough to bring a smile back to her adorable face.

She is such a blessing to our family!

Halloween 2012

Halloween was so much fun for these guys!!

Benjamin was Green Lantern.

Anna was Black Cat (Spiderman's girlfriend in one of the cartoons they watch, which isn't such a common costume as you might imagine, so we made due with a Cat Woman costume).

Collin was The Hulk (of course)!

Last, but not least, sweet Eva was a giraffe for her first Halloween.

On our front porch excited to go trick-or-treating.

My sweet giraffe and I.

Eva even had a little tail!

Off they go! I'm pretty sure Anna lead the way to every single house. No one could keep up with her!

"I got candy!"

"Why are we walking around in the cold with this funny hat on my head?"

After trick-or-treating in our neighborhood we headed to church to have some Halloween fun inside where we could be warm! Collin kept sneaking candy when he thought no one was looking.

One of our friends was nice enough to get a family shot for us.

Dave had the kiddos pose for funny pictures...

All this activity was tiring for our little giraffe.

Happy 1st Halloween sweet girl!

On A Roll

Eva is much happier during tummy time than any of our other babies ever were. She loves turning her head and looking all around while she's on her stomach. Let's face it, there's a lot to observe in this house!

I don't know if she meant to, but she figured out how to roll over. On her way...

She did it! She hasn't repeated it though, I think because she is so content on her tummy.

She's our happy girl and is starting to laugh more.

She has found her thumb a couple of times and likes to suck on her bottom lip like she's doing here...

We loaded up (which requires quite a lot these days!) and headed to Grandma's house so we could take the kids to my parents' trade show. They LOVE it there! They counted the days until the show and barely talked about anything else for days. The show didn't disappoint, they had a grand time and we had fun introducing Eva to more people.

Grandpa and Daddy raked the leaves into a big pile for the kids to have fun in.

Chilling at Grandma's house.

Watching her big brothers and sister play a dance game.

Anna took a huge nap one afternoon and was still sleeping when Dave got home, so he went up and woke her up for me and this what he found...

Since all anyone wants to talk about when you have a baby is how big they are, I enjoy pictures like this that show how *little* Eva really is! :)

Blessed Tuesday

Enjoying short sleeves for one of the last times.

This was Collin's favorite shirt this summer...big time! Meets all of his favorite criteria...it's red and it has something that can fly on it. He would ask for it several times a week and wore it as soon as I had it cleaned. So we had to get a picture of him in it for the last time!

The next day Dave randomly suggested we go to Brown County to see the leaves one last time. So he left work a little early (it was a Tuesday) and we ended up having one of the best evenings!

Off they go.

Daddy and his kiddos.

Our four sweethearts.

They really enjoyed being in this little house/cabin.

My new favorite picture!

 It really was such a fun evening! We even went into town and had dinner at one of our favorite restaurants and got to listen to live music. A blessed Tuesday, indeed!
