Great-grandma!

Evie is at preschool, and the boys are taking an unexpected long nap in their swings, so I have a chance to do a little post. We have been extremely lucky to have my grandma here this past week. She rocked babies, played with Evie, and looked at wedding magazines with Kaitlin. She was here a whole week, and I wish she could have stayed a month more! I'll post more later about our adventures, but here are a few photos to start.

2 peas in a pod?

In case you were wondering, the boys are not identical. If you need any proof, look at the picture below:

Clearly, these boys are fraternal twins. Even though they are both boys, share the same parents, and were womb-mates for almost 9 months, they are very different.

Busy busy family

Evie and her pumpkin

Two weekends ago, we made the most of a nice couple of days. On the first of the month, we took Guthrie and Zevon on their first hike at Tiger Mountain. We happen to get there at the same time as some kind of family pumpkin hunt, and Evie found her very own pumpkin. The boys seemed to love the fresh air and Evie loved running as fast as she could down the trail. They all took excellent naps that afternoon!

After naps, we made an overdue appointment to get Evie's hair trimmed. Evie has never had her hair cut (besides an ill-fated trim to her baby mullet the day before her baptism). We love the curls, but it was getting hard to comb out after her bath. We took her to a kids haircut place, hoping that would make her more willing to sit still, and it did. She didn't get a lot cut off and you can hardly tell she had anything trimmed. But it was sad to see those little curls go. Evie now asks if she can have her hair trimmed just about every day.

Flying on to big girl hair!

The weekend was rounded out by a trip to Issaquah Salmon Days with the Barsness clan on Saturday and church on Sunday. Whew. No wonder it has taken me so long to post! It took us a week to recover.
