Wow! Fall is here.

I'm loving this time of year. It's cooler here in Folsom (not that we had a particularly hot summer) and beautiful. I have been working way too much for my liking -- 4 and 5 days a week, until last week -- 3!!!!! Love those weeks. Not taking any new clients that require me to go to their workplace.

Anyway -- new babies on the way!!! Sherri is due in only 17 days and Joanna is due March 1st. Sherri is expecting Carter and Joanna is expecting Brynne/Jack. How exciting. Seriously. New babies to love and spoil a little. I have decided to visit Sherri/Graham/Julie/Carter? on 10/29. No pressure to have that baby on time!

Another great point of fall is Apple Hill. Joanna and I went with the kids (it's getting to be a tradition, although it was not Dave's fault he did not go). We had apple pie, polish dogs, caramel apples, and fudge. The kids rode the horse/pony, went through the hay maze, went on a little train (car kind of pulls it), and we shopped for crafts and pumpkins. We went kind of late in the day and by the time we went in to eat they were out of -- just about everything (chicken, hot dogs, hamburgers, cheese sandwiches, and french fries). How distressing for B! He just kept saying (after he stopped crying when they didn't have a grilled cheese sandwich) that it was not his lucky day!

All in all, a great outing! These kids are great! I love them all. So M is in a recital in December and best of all (according to Craig) she gets to dance in the main parade Christmas parade at Disneyland. So off we go! We found a REALLY cheap flight if we start in Stockton and go to Long Beach ($110 for 2 people round trip) with Allegiant Air. Hope it's safe. Anyone familiar with this airline?

Jacob and Anna are celebrating 10 years of marriage by actually staying in OUR Waikiki condo. Can't wait to hear about it. They had a friend/couple come out to stay/watch all the kids. Anna has never been to Hawaii so hope she enjoyed it. I heard the weather was pretty nice.

Julie is becoming adjusted to actually working a real job. It's great to hear after all this schooling that she likes what she does. Although she is looking forward to planning and going on a big vacation to Europe next year. I'm going too. Dave is not complaining so far. Let's see how long that lasts.

I redecorated the guest bathroom this past month and that has kept me a little busy around the house. Nights can be boring watching TV. Love to change the house a little at a time. Other small changes coming up. I've now made the following plans: 1. Trip to Seattle 10/29. 2. Trip to Seattle 11/23. 3. Trip to Disneyland 12/11. 4. Trip to Utah 12/22. 5. Trip to Europe 5/20. 6. Trip to Greece (?) 9/11 sometime. 7. Trip with Dave's family next summer (not sure where).

Do we like to travel? Duh.
