(Don&#8217;t worry, everyone&#8230;she&#8217;ll make the pies!) And of course, the combined Edlund\/Campbell Thanksgiving Event is always immensely fun. &nbsp;Crazy and loud&#8230;but always fun! &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had a cold developing for over a week, but I think it&#8217;s finally decided to arrive full force. &nbsp;Hopefully, I can keep Megan from getting it too badly. &nbsp;The twins aren&#8217;t so bad now when they get sick, but infants are a different story&#8230;it&#8217;s so hard to listen to them trying to breathe while they nurse. &nbsp;So I hope she&#8217;ll get a pass this time!<\/p>\n<p>I think we&#8217;re about a month or two away from Erin&#8217;s jabbering actually becoming real words. &nbsp;It&#8217;s bittersweet, for sure. &nbsp;But having a clear idea of what she wants will be lovely, too&#8230; &nbsp;And seriously, that girl is such a girl. &nbsp;She loved her pretty white dress for the wedding. &nbsp;She likes to have little purses, and she shares her momma&#8217;s love of shoes. &nbsp;I&#8217;m sensing a hint of fashionista in her&#8230;but I&#8217;m pretty sure she got that from Karen. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xanga.com\/Images\/smiley3.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Alex is totally enamored of any toy he can push\/pull or stand on. &nbsp;He runs the popper or other push toys back and forth for a long time. &nbsp;And you should see his happy face when he&#8217;s successfully climbed up some new obstacle. &nbsp;He&#8217;s pretty cute!<\/p>\n<p>And as for Megan&#8230;things are just moving along. &nbsp;She&#8217;s starting to respond to us a bit, which is super cool. &nbsp;And she&#8217;s slowed down a bit on the growing, too. &nbsp;I&#8217;m hoping to get some pictures of her soon. &nbsp;But not surprisingly, I&#8217;m not finding a lot of time for candid pictures these days! &nbsp;And usually, when I do think to grab the camera, she immediately starts to cry. Maybe she&#8217;s just not a fan of getting her picture taken!<\/p>\n<p>Anyway&#8230;that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve got for now. &nbsp;There&#8217;s probably more, but I don&#8217;t remember it anymore. &nbsp;Happy Tuesday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I&#8217;m back for a quick update. &nbsp;Meant to do it yesterday, but obviously that didn&#8217;t happen. &nbsp;But that&#8217;s okay&#8230; We had a good, but very busy, weekend. &nbsp;The twins were in Eric&#8217;s cousin&#8217;s wedding on Saturday. &nbsp;So we had &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/2010\/11\/23\/checking-in-2\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=129"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/129\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/elhogue.com\/shannah\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
