Last Minute

This is the picture I got of Evangeline when I realized I hadn't taken a picture and right before the battery gave out. Struwwelpeter?

Toenail

Here's some general silliness today.

Even dad's funky toenail couldn't win the girl over.

Blinky

Evangeline needed a lot of extra attention today. Well, it alternated between needing extra attention and wanting time alone to do stuff like bend my glasses and touch the fireplace. I also caught her reading Measure For Measure. After supper she was being really cute and smiley, so when I tried to take her picture she did that blink-eye thing a lot. Oh well. We did manage to have some fun this day, too. And she didn't walk anymore.

Oh, didn't I tell you this is how I do pictures now?

Here's a nice one from Mike and Carol's this weekend:

Shocked at the reality of a real bathtub.

A Step in the Right Direction

We started out the day with Kitty Quest 2011 II.

She found them.

Went to lunch.

Visited great grandma Lucy, who has been moved to a rehabilitation hospital, but only after Evangeline was able to climb all over her.

She slept most of the way home, not having finished "Polar Bear Polar Bear What Do You Hear?"

In between all of this, she managed to find the time to take three steps. We aren't quite sure if this counts as "walking", but it certainly was more than one step taken in succession. She did this twice, so we will have to see what happens in the coming days.

Back 2 Asheville

We decided to make another quick jaunt over to Asheville as great grandma Lucy has suffered a mild stroke. She is doing quite well. Her hospital room has a spectacular view of the mountains. Evangeline couldn't get enough of it.

She was going to spoon great grandmas's broth away from her.

When we got back to Uncle Mike and Aunt Carol's, Kitty Quest 2011 began.

Under The Table

No, I didn't get a side job. Evangeline has just really enjoyed being under the table lately, sharp edges and all.

Do these teeth make me look like Louie Anderson?

Socks Free

 No coat, no socks? Dad in shorts? What's going on here?

Now if this is all the hotter it gets, we're in business.
