Happy Thanksgiving!

OK, so this post is just a few days late (ok, so a week), but I still wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving.

We've had a couple of firsts around here lately. The first "first" was the first snow of the season. The day before Thanksgiving it snowed for most of the day. The result of this is not as exciting as it sounds. We did have 1 or 2 inches on the ground, but they melted before the day was over. It also snowed on Thanksgiving day, but that also melted quickly. Unfortunately, our garage door opener had broken so we, for the first time since we moved in, parked the cars in the driveway instead of the garage. That's what we get for being lazy!



Another "first" also has to do with the house. It's the first time we have more shelf space than books. Usually, our books far out number any space we have to put them on and have had to stay in boxes. We finally bought some shelves as a start to our library. It's been exciting for everyone! Steve and I can finally find the books we need, and Evie has whole bunches of books to pull off the shelves. We were even able to fit all our DVDs, VHSs, and CDs on some of the shelf space.

The last "first" was a big one. Evie has taken her first steps! She's been standing and cruising around the furniture for about a month, but yesterday she took her first steps without holding on to anything. She's also been a lot more brave about standing without holding on to anything. I did get video of her first steps, and here it is. Sorry it is blurry. I took it with the digital camera instead of the video camera. I didn't have the video camera on hand. She hasn't taken any more steps on her own since then, but she does stand on her own and sometimes she looks like she is ready to just take off.
