Nesting

I have been nesting! This time around it has taken the form of quilting. I used mostly scraps from my "stash," although I did buy new fabric for the baby girl quilt. Here are my projects for the past few months:

Our baby girl's quilt!

A quilt for Evelyn's new baby doll that she will receive when the baby arrives.

Oklahoma for Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving week in Oklahoma. It was great to see everyone! We will stay in California for Christmas - too close to the baby's due date to come. Evelyn had a great time with her grandparents and cousins and was sad to say goodbye to them all.

Evelyn was so proud to hang on the monkey bars "by herself" with Papa Fisher's help.


We had a great visit with Granny and Grandpa in Tulsa too.

Evelyn loves being outside, even if she does have to trade her dress for pants and sweater.

Halloween

Halloween was a busy and fun day. It marked 11 years of pumpkin carving together for us - a tradition begun on our first date. Using patterns has definitely helped the finished product - and this year Evelyn helped dictate the subjects for our carving.


Evelyn received a new tutu for her birthday from Aunt Becky, along with a book "I Wear My Tutu Everywhere." Evelyn does like to wear her tutu everywhere, and she wore it on Halloween night. She is holding the pumpkin that she helped paint. She declared the Cinderella Pumpkin to be her favorite.

Some of the on campus families had a gathering early in the evening - here is a group picture. Notice the child dressed as the "Angel of Death" giving Evelyn skeleton finger bunny ears. He is 7.


Some of Evelyn's friends from our S-pad...they were dressed as "Neon Nerds."

The new baby was dressed as a pumpkin - I confess I stole this idea from a friend in Oklahoma a few years back. Not everyone got it - one teen asked if I was "static cling" for Halloween.

Evelyn took candy to Brian's classes again this year in costume. The students really enjoyed it. Here Evelyn is "working" in her dad's office.
