What we have been up to...

So I promise to get some pictures soon, I know it is pretty terrible to only have words to read and no pictures SORRY! But we have been busy, being sick (upset tummy/flu/chills), I had a presentation of my most recent set of thesis work (the presentation went really well, and the chair of my department spoke to me after and said I did a really great job and explained everything very well!) so all that hard work for that kept me busy, and now I am taking a biostats class online this semester (gggrrr) I am not the biggest fan, but that has been taking a bit of time in the evening so that causes me to not be able to get new fun posts up with pictures. Sorry! And I might not get to it tonight, cause I want to snuggle with my hubby and catch up on some TV shows! :) However I do have pictures to share from some of our family and friends.

Here are some pictures from 2 Sundays ago. These were taken by Mike's cousin Katie. We went by Mike's uncle Ray and aunt Nadine's to brew some of the Italian side of the family's FAMOUS Italian Liquor! We bottled our 8 batches(?) up for Evelyn's Wedding, yep we are going to let it sit and get delicious for 20+ years!! Uncle Pat, Mike's great uncle from Naples Italy, says you really need to make the liquor right when the child is born so it is the best for their wedding! I love this tradition and we had this liquor at our wedding thanks to Uncle Ray and now it is famous and I am sure many people are going to be very excited for Evelyn's wedding! :)



Evelyn is loving her "cousin" Nina playing in the puppy's toy basket! P.S. she is wearing her miss piggy shirt, I love this outfit! :)



Silly Evelyn and mommy are playing in the tupperware container we need to transport all the booze! :)



Grandma Chris probably won't like that I added this, but I think it is cute loveing her great neice and granddaughter! p.s. this is the hoddie that goes witht he shirt, got to love the muppets! :) we found it at Target and cousin Milli has a matching one! :)




Also, my good friend Kim that I go to school with (yes I listen to my previous post, that there is always time for a few beers with friends) had us over, and Kim recently had a baby boy in November, well I think the pictures will explain for themselves, but Evelyn LOVES other kids (I guess we should work on giving her a sibling! :)) So these photos are from Kim (and her very nice camera). Evelyn is getting ready for bed, it was around 9:30 last Friday, and that is pretty late for Evelyn these days, she usually goes to sleep around 7:30-8. She is also really funny when she gets tired, my sister and I have tagged this time for kids as their "sleepy drunk" time cause they just start acting goofy like they are drunk!




Here Evelyn is loving her future (~11 month younger) boyfriend Ean! Look at those beautiful eyes she has!




Ean looks like he is enjoying all the additional attention from his buddy!




She was just laying her head on him and cuddling like he was her little dolly or something!




Ean even started to play with her hair in the back that is starting to grow in! This one makes me laugh because of his cute happy little face... such a "boy" look on his face! :)
