How to stay warm in Minnesota

First, get some giant cheeks like us, then you will stay warm in Minnesota.

Annalise is 7 weeks old

Annalise is 7 weeks old on Monday, October 30.We finally caught her smiling on the camera! Of course, look who she is looking at. She loves her big sister when the big sister isn't trying to poke her eyes out.
Watching Curious George on TV is really relaxing. Makes you want to pull up a booger and get comfy.

Pumpkin Carving Fun

Evie and I carved the pumpkin to greet the Trick or Treaters. It was a pretty messy task.

Evie jumps in with both hands. If you asked her what was on her hands, she said "orange". where's Annalise? She and Jim went to a store and she fell asleep in the car seat. She was safely straped in the car in the driveway during all the excitement.
The finished product.

Here's a reason to eat your breakfast. When Evie was eating her Cheerios yesterday, she told me that Cheerios make you strong and heavy.

Annalise's Baptism, part 2

Here are a couple more pictures from Baptism weekend. Apparently, this blog site only lets you post 5 at a time.


Here's the happy family:

And the expanding Bob Taller family.

Annalise's Baptism

Here are some really out of order pictures from Annalise's Baptism. Bear with me, I'm still getting the hang of this and it isn't easy to type witty captions when you are holding the baby and typing with one hand.

The first picture shows Evie's panties and me trying to calm down Annalise. She cried before she got dunked.

The second picture is Annalise and dad getting psyched up for Jesus.

3. Looking nice and holy.

4. Getting dunked by Uncle Kevin. Look at those scrany legs.

5. If you've seen Hank's blog, you've seen this picture. The expanding (and we don't just mean Aunt Elizabeth) family

Our first Post

We are so inspired by Hank Turner's Blog that we are going to try one of our own.

Today we went to a Halloween party at our friends', Ethan and MaryKate, house. First we all made spider hats. This is Evie, Emma, Laura, and Ethan posing.

Then we decorated spooky cupcakes and ate them up.


Here's a picture of us in our Halloween costumes. We both had other places we rather would be.
