After swimming everyday, usually twice a day, during the summer, the kids were suffering pool withdrawal in November! So on a warm day, even though the pool water was NOT warm, they couldn't resist jumping in!
Since Evelyn was due the Friday after Thanksgiving, none of the grandparents made plans to travel for the holiday so they could be around for her birth. Since she was born a week and a half early, she was here to spend Thanksgiving with us! Everyone came to our house and brought all the traditional Thanksgiving dishes, so I didn't have to cook anything. It was a wonderful holiday to spend with our new baby girl and all her grandparents!
Evelyn kicked off her umbilical cord stump during a diaper change, so she got to take a bath pretty early! She didn't fuss at all and the kids were fascinated with her baby tub.
Shortly after we moved here, a great little Children's Museum was opened here in Beaumont. Thanks to the help of dedicated staff and volunteers, it is a fun place for the kids to visit! They really love it there and have a blast every time we go.
Our good friend Katie came over to take some newborn photos of Evelyn. After seeing how great they came out, I'm sorry I didn't do this for the other kids!! Thanks, Katie, for preserving such beautiful moments of Evelyn as a newborn!
