Annalise is 14 months old

At some point, I suppose we can stop the month birthday thing. After all, Evie is something like 44 months old. I don't know, I've lost track. Anyway, Annalise is 14 months old today. Veteran's Day (as they say in Hee Haw---SAL-UTE!!) and Clay and Erica's Anniversary. Interesting side note, Jim and I went downtown Indy yesterday for the day. The last time we were down there was for Clay and Erica's wedding--7 years ago!! Back to Annalise, she cut another tooth bringing the total up to 8. That's just a few teeth away from a steak!
We celebrated the rainy Sunday by lighting a fire in the fireplace for the first time. This is one of those old fashioned woodburning numbers. Here's everyone making sure that all flues and dampers are in their correct positions.
Evie and Jim watching our first fire. Yes, that's one of those duraflame logs. We didn't have the foresight to bring some wood in from the pile before the torrential rains.
Annalise kicks back and enjoys the fire with a nice book.
We also gave Annalise her first pedicure today. It's a little smudged because she had to try to touch the paint while it was wet. Mom wasn't fast enough.
