It's so crazy that Eavan is already two months old! We had her well child checkup yesterday and found out she is 13 pounds, 6 ounces and 23 inches long. And while she's not the size Cate and Joel were at this age, she still seems so big! Eavan is a morning baby and is so happy and smiley right around 6 AM (much to my chagrin)- at night she fights sleep for hours. We decided to try some rice cereal to see if that would help fill her belly and make her sleep better.

Today we celebrated Joel's 5th birthday. He had his first official party and invited 15 of his closest friends and cousins. :) We ran around playing games, meeting the mouse (Joel reassured us all that it was "just a perthon inside"), opening gifts (which were all "Awethome!!!"), and partying like 5 year olds.

Much to my extreme delight we were able to visit a going-out-of-business sale at World Market last week. There are so very many things that I adore at World Market, not the least of which is their great selection of dining room furniture. Being the sucker for a clearance that I am...we came home with a new dining room set (which we did actually need) bought at 50% off! Adore with me, if you will....

We will still need another chair and a bench for when the table is fully extended. And some rearranging is needed in the dining room- as soon as I have time to play around and find the best placement of furniture.
