And they had pink poodle outifits also!
In other news, Maggie FINALLY popped her 3rd tooth - top front right. She had her first 2 in May and 5 months later she finally gets her 3rd...I wonder if her teeth were waiting for her to reach 20 pounds (but she's not quite there yet either!). Evie, on the other hand has had 8 teeth since the end of August.
We had a great month of Doctor visits in October. The best news is that Maggie's heart defect seems to be resolving itself! A year ago the atrial septal defect was moderate in size. We visited the doctor 6 months ago and he just did a quick check-up noting that she seemed fine, still a murmur, but she was growing fine. So, this time he said it was a pretty normal check-up and on the echo cardiogram, it showed the defect was moderately small to small! If it continues this trend (of which we will check next year this time), it is likely we won't have to visit him again - and no surgery seems eminent at this point! Very exciting. Joe thinks his bribery worked and Maggie can either have a car or a pony (did I just document that for her to present later?).
Then we had the girls' eye exam (in Butte) and Maggie was a tiny bit farsighted (normal for toddlers) and Evie was a tiny bit nearsighted, but nothing to fix. So, we don't need to check eyes for another 2 years!
And the last exciting news is that the girls will be getting a baby brother in February! Let's all just pray this little guy isn't anxious like the girls and hangs out as long as possible :)
Joe and I are keeping busy as we started remodeling the upstairs bathrooms - master & girls' room. Well, I can't say we've done much but try to schedule it all. My cousin Tom has done the real work, and it is taking shape. The tile installer starts this week, but there are still some pieces I have to figure out how to get done (know any available sheet-rock tapers & texturers in Bozeman?)
Happy Halloween, the Holidays are just around the corner!
