The picture curse.

Yes, Evie has it. Poor little girl. There's just something that keeps getting passed down in my family that will not break. My dad has it. My sister has it. (Sorry!) And now my sweet little Evie Jane has it too.

What is it, you ask? Well, let me tell you. No matter how hard I try (or anyone else) it is next to impossible for her to take a good picture. She either has her eyes closed or she's scowling. It's SO HARD to capture a smile, but I promise she does do it.

So yesterday Evie and I set out with high goals. My goal was to take at least one good picture of her. Her goal was to eat as much grass as she could possibly get in her mouth before I pulled it back out.

Here are the results:



Yes, there is your smile, Little One!

I'm still not 100% satisfied, but at least I captured a smile, huh? I'll try again as soon as the sun comes out again. I am on a mission!

Under a rock.

Yes, that's where I've been lately. I was reminded just yesterday that it's been a LONG time since I've posted on here. Sorry!
So, let's catch up! Here are some things that are going on in the *G* household:

JD's back in school full swing now. He has about 20 projects that he's trying to get done around the house too. It really never ends!

Luke is about 70% potty trained. Not as close as we all want, but he's getting there and we're thankful for that. He's learning his colors right now too. This has been an interesting process, but he's finally getting it. YAY! We were beginning to worry that he was color blind. Nope! He just didn't understand yet. He loves playing hide and seek and jumping on "Nanny and Pop-pop's bed" AKA the guest bed.

Evie is getting her 7th tooth right now. She LOVES chasing her brother up and down the hallway with her little push walker. She thinks she's big stuff. She's gaining lots of weight too. We're so thankful for that!

And I've been busy trying to keep up with it all. I've been knitting and sewing too. I LOVE crafts! I've started going to my mom's and toddlers group every week again and love it. I'm also teaching the Preschool class at church this month so that has kept me busy. I'm so glad to be back in the classroom though. I've missed it SO much!

So, that's the short version of what we're up to. I will post some pics of the kiddos soon. (I know that's what you're really looking for.) :)
