Invasion

The hummingbirds have been crazy at our house. We have consistently had 4-6 birds at our feeder, and more than once we have counted a total of 12 birds jockeying for some of our hummingbird nectar. Maybe this will give you a better idea of the invasion we're speaking about: The birds have emptied our feeder TWICE in THREE DAYS. Seriously, folks, how big can these birds stomachs be?

Here's some more pictures of Evelyn. She loves talking on the phone. When it's the play phone, the conversation will usually go something like this:
"Hi Nana" (or Granny or Ty or whoever she's thinking about right now...)
"Howya Doin' Nana" (Said like a New Yorker -- I have no idea where this came from)
"Bye Nana, seeyoulater"

When it's the real phone she is likely to either a) clam up or b) scream her ABCs.



Evelyn's a big fan of her Sunglasses; however, she hasn't quite figured out that they go OVER her ears.

Another fun game goes like this: She picks up any toy animal (usually a giraffe) and it goes around "eating" things. I have been eaten many times, as has Kimberly.

One final note. What makes you feel old? It's different for everyone. For some it's a landmark birthday (30?). For others it's looking at the next generation (realizing that current college freshmen have likely never used a rotary phone or a walkman). For me, it was a sunny day last month when I sunburnt the top of my head for the first time...
