Water conservationists will be pleased to know that we can now bathe our babies in one bath. And those water conservationists (and lovers of cuteness, in general) will be further pleased to know that this makes for the cutest sight in all of England, possibly even the world:
This picture was taken on the day our heaters broke. It is getting cold here, so broken heaters are not fun. We bundled up, cuddled with the rice bag (on Penny's feet), and baked a cake to warm up the kitchen until the heaters were fixed.
Also, I made this quilt for Penny as a Christmas gift. I'm working on a pillow pouf seat for Esmé. I'm practically a pioneer woman, minus the bonnet. And the buffalo chips.

We also celebrated Guy Fawkes Day (you know, the day where they burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes on giant bonfires because he tried to blow up Parliament. Awesome.) We rode a Ferris Wheel at the Fall Fair and watched loud fireworks, which Esmé loved!
Esme has learned to pray. She thanks the Lord every day for the Ferris Wheel.
We also celebrated the end of the Twilight Saga by seeing the last movie on a date to our local cinema (Roo and I were perhaps celebrating for different reasons... :)
Penny is on the verge of crawling--an exciting, yet daunting prospect considering we have three flights of stairs, a step into the kitchen, and two small steps in the hallway.
Esmé fell all the way down one flight of the aforementioned staircases. She survived.
Penny is getting one tooth--an exciting, yet daunting prospect considering I'm still nursing her...
We watched a lot of Donald Duck cartoons on You Tube and jumped on the bed while listening to the "Ewok song".
So that sums it up. Bring on December!

Adorable girls! I am so envious of Lynn and Joel getting to hug those sweet bodies. Baking a cake was a wonderful idea to warm up your home. Loves to you all;~))
I can't tell you how happy I was to see this update! Glad that your heater got fixed! I am totally impressed by your quilt making skills. It is perfect. Way to go!
Job well done on the quilt, Annie. However, if you aspire to pioneer womanhood I must recommend that you watch (probably on the internet somewhere) Duck Dynasty and pay particular attention to Miss Kay who has a wealth of "pioneer woman" knowledge to bestow on dutiful viewers. Plus the show is freaking hilarious!
A seemingly uneventful month filled with just plain, regular, day-to-day living, but what cute companions to share it with! Evening bath time is one of the best times of the day (as is licking the beaters)!
Love your quilt. It is beautiful.
It's good to have you back in the blogosphere. Esme and Penny are so darling. So is your quilt. We love and miss you!

You could pull off a bonnet, I think. Cute girls and quilt!
That quilt is beautiful, you deserve a bonnet for that kind of skill! Love the bathing beauties. We can relate to your broken heater woes, cooking was a great idea. I wish I would have thought of that! Your girls are darling!
