Easy Egg Breakfast

Dear Sis,

This morning we made our eggs in the microwave to save time:) We only had 15 minutes before Carter and Jenn would arrive for our play date. We managed to squeeze in breakfast!

William prefers his eggs without salsa and his muffin with jelly.

With full tummies, we were set for a fun playdate!

Visiting Aunt Jamie

Dear Sis,

January was designated Aunt Jamie visiting month. We ended up coming a few weeks early because we had to return Grandpa Carmin, who had been marooned at our house for almost two weeks, after getting the flu during your visit the last few days of December. 

Grandpa Carmin says this picture is special because he has a head in it. Apparently he is usually a decapitated backdrop for Evelyn:)

William really enjoyed visiting the chickens. He talks about “Aunt Jamie bawk bawk” periodically. 

I got to make Evelyn’s new super soft blanket, to replace the rabbit one from our friends John and Susan, which she is rapidly outgrowing. William eagerly tested out the finished product since Evelyn was napping at the time.

We hope this new blanket fits Evelyn’s budding sophisticated luxurious ideals for a cuddly sleep aid:)

It was hard for William to say goodbye to Evelyn. He really adores his little cousin!

Thanks for a great visit!

Love,

b

P.S. Even with an early start, Grandpa Jeff beat us home by just over two hours. Poor guy had to wait in a nearby parking lot! He and William watched a nature show after our steak dinner:)
