Summer
We have been up at the cottage a lot: Cliff has been fishing and we have been spending time at the beach or bumming around up north. CJ learned to ride a two-wheeler with training wheels because he saw some of the neighbor kids by the cottage riding around and he wanted to "ride my bike with my friends." He's doing well, and now says he wants Cliff to take the trainers off! We will see... CJ has become much more comfortable in the water, and has been putting his whole body underwater lately. He is really excited about that!
Evy is growing fast. She is log-rolling now to get to where she wants to go, and can sit up by herself for a decent amount of time. She loves swimming, and likes to sit in the water and splash. It's amazing because it doesn't seem to bother her when she gets splashed, even in the face! We have been working on baby food and some cheerios, but Evy is so far not interested at all in anything besides milk. Oh, well. We have time!
Cliff has been doing a lot of fishing, especially up north. He has recently joined a musky club and is excited to have a fishing buddy up near the cottage. Besides fishing and hanging out with the family, Cliff has also been working on his research.
With the passing of my grandma, I have been having a bit of a hard time emotionally this summer. I have been trying to keep busy (which is not difficult with 2 kids and 2 homes!). CJ and Evy keep me going with their constant energy, and CJ is a great snuggler when I am having a bad moment. Of course, Cliff has been helpful, too. I have been forgetful and "not all there", so I apologize for any forgotten birthdays/anniversaries, etc.
I hope everyone is well, and that you are all having a safe and fun summer. Love you all!

Growing fast

meet evelyn
On Saturday, Nov 19th at 1238am, Evelyn Margot Moll was born. She weighed in at 8lb 10oz and is 20.5 inches long. She looks a lot like CJ did as a newborn, though is much chubbier. She's got light brown hair, about 1 inch long already. She's a bit of a crabby girl, though has been a little happier today. Last night she actually let mama sleep for a few hours in a row, and today she slept in her bassinet for 2 solid hours! She is nursing well, a huge step ahead of how her brother was at this age! Mama is doing well, a little sore, but otherwise fine.

4 more weeks and counting. . .
I am now 36 weeks pregnant, so I should have about 4 more to go. Things are still going well. Lots of crazy baby movements, sporadic contractions, but all around feeling pretty good. We put up the crib, which CJ asks if he can sleep in with "baby sister" when she comes. He likes to go upstairs and see the crib, and has grown attached to a small burp cloth that Lori made for the new baby.
Erica and Megan (for those of you who don't know, Megan is my cousin) threw me a very nice diaper shower with my mom's side of the family. It was so great to see everyone! Thanks to all for the diapers and wipes! And thanks to Lori (my mother-in-law), who made "baby sister" aka "november" (those are the names CJ gives her) some beautiful bedding!
Cliff has been busy hunting and he also put a deck railing up at the cottage. It was a lot of work, but it looks really nice.
Hope everyone is doing well! Hope to keep you updated as best I can with baby news. . .and I'll try to put CJ's Halloween pictures up asap after trick or treating this weekend! Miss you all!
