The Picture Perfect Family...NOT

This is what I am married to.
Every single day of my life.
Sometimes I love it.
Sometimes...

Richie's cousin took some Peterson family pictures for us. They turned out alright. I like my touches to them. We also had some professional pictures taken of our immediate family, and they were gorgeous, but whew! how expensive! We never would have done it except that I won a free sitting at the county fair and thought that we could afford it. Oh well. We just called it our anniversary present. And night out. For the next three years. But my oh my, doesn't Eve look darling?








I should have cut my hair before the pictures!

Goldfish Galore

Here are some better pictures of the costume. The one of her in the bowl isn't the greatest of Eve, but it really shows off the sparkly tail. I really wanted to take her to the river in the costume and photograph her on the bank, but I would need an assistant just in case she decided to roll into the water and swim away, and I wouldn't have time to come off the bridge and rescue her! And with the Daylight Savings change, it's too dark by the time Richie comes home from work.

The video I posted is actually quite boring. Recently Eve has been performing a little hip thrust workout when she gets excited or wants to move. It cracks me up and looks cool in her fish costume, but she wouldn't do it for the camera. But I thought I'd post it anyway for the grandparents. The weird noises are of me pretending to eat her hand. She usually loves it and cracks up, but she was not feeling well today and didn't emote much for the video.

Halloween Doing

A very happy All Hallows Eve. Eve was a smashing success in her goldfish costume. I'm so glad that my mom raised me in the homemade halloween costume tradition. It's rather a treat these days to see homemade costumes on the little ones. I took Eve trick-or-treating in downtown Logan and I have to say, she stole the show. Everyone commented on how cute she was. And she was.
She also turned nine months on the 27th. She didn't weigh as much as I was hoping she would at her doctor appointment, but she is a happy and health little thing, and that ain't bad. She is on the verge of crawling, eating lots of finger foods and trying to figure out the true purpose of a sippy cup. Below are some photos of Eve at the pumpkin patch hill and a little video of her first experience with snow.
