This month in review makes me tired to look at. So much we did and we very little help. Justin was gone 90% of the month for work so i tried to keep us busy so the time would go faster. It did go fast.
Here is us after Abigail's first primary program at church. I am the primary chorister so it was a bit stressful but really fun to do and watch. Abigail did her very best and sang quite loud. After the first song and Abigail speaking Evelyn turned around to everyone sitting in her row and said very loud "That was AWESOME!". We love what a sweet supportive sister she is.
This is one of the many projects we have been working on. This is a built-in desk that I wanted upstairs for my craft table and a desk for my preschool.
I started preschool for my girls and LOVE doing it. They look forward to it and are doing extremely well. Cherished memories these will be.
We go to Grandma Riddle's sometimes for preschool too.

Some of Abigail's writing. She is really picking up reading quickly. |
Another project? Yep, i decided i was sick of staring at the bare concrete kitchen floor and decided to sand it and stain it myself. A little crazy but hey it's done.
Abi was my photographer.

The girls bowling on the new floor before we put the table back.  |
Ice cream break.
Walter made these faces quite often this month. So sad and sweet. He is so precious.
Tired Evee
Thanksgiving Point festival. Kids had a blast!
We started an art class this month. Where the girls learn all different concepts of art. They really like it and the teacher is very nice. I am learning new things too.
Walter being very good during their class.
Walter is such an amazing little boy. During all of the projects and activities we do he is so good. He doesn't make a peep and just has such a joy for life. We are very lucky to have such a wonderful little man in our lives.
For one of our Family Home Evenings we read the book "Your Happily Every After" by Dieter F. Uchtdorf. (which every girl should read) and made tangled hair for the girls. Very fun.

| We went to the fire station! I wish i would have had my phone or my camera when we went. They had a blast and learned a lot too. |
 |
| This is Justin's favorite picture and while he was gone would open this picture on his phone if he needed a laugh. Abi's face is priceless. |
Another project was to get the girls matching beds so that we could move the crib into Walter's room. We found them in the classifieds and got a killer deal. Now to find a dresser they both can use.
Walter's room. I put him in his bed the first night and shut the door behind me while Justin was coming out of the girls room and I looked at him and started crying. I was devastated to move him out of our room. Justin hugged me and said "we can move him back into our room for a while", so we did. I am so weak. It just wasn't the right time for me to have him be so far away. He does however use his crib for naps. So not a wasted project.

| I did applique his quilt that his hanging on his bed. i make a quilt for all my kids for their 1st birthday. He got his a little early. I was motivated. |
Now some randomness.
Okay who doesn't think a little naked baby is just adorable.
Park time and Walter in a swing for the first time. It was a hoot to see him so happy.
Hope you enjoyed all these pictures. Side note: i just finished my first blog book from 2008-2009 and it was a total of 232 pages and a whopping 1200 pictures. That was a huge relief to get it done but now I am still playing catch up but my children will have such an amazing time looking back on their lives someday.
