October Already?

I'm not quite sure where September went. All I know is that one minute it was here, and now it's gone. I guess between soccer, school, and cold and flu bugs I lost track.

I wish I had more to blog about. Really I don't. Not even any new soccer pictures. Last weekend was our first game in the rain. You'd be proud of me. I stood out there in the wind and drizzle like a true soccer mom should--cheered my boy on and got over the fact that the 20 minutes I spent earlier that morning straightening my hair were all a big waste of time.

The only other things that come to mind from the past couple of weeks are the germ bugs that hit our house. I got my first cold (I know, you're captivated, aren't you?) and Molly was the unlucky recipient of the first flu bug to strike our family this school-year. Poor thing. It would be odd for a child to enjoy throwing up, but I have to say that on the spectrum of not liking it, Molly is WAY down at the end--like she REALLY does not like throwing up. For 2-3 days, whenever she thought about it, she absolutely FREAKED out. So let's just hope that she's not a child prone to tummy troubles because I don't think any of us at this house could handle it!

So that's how WE closed out September. But this:

This is how my very best friend from college closed out September. Isn't he beautiful? He entered the lives of Allison and Tom a little over a week ago on September 29th. And let me tell you...waiting to welcome this little guy into the world has been a long time coming. But well worth the wait! And there aren't 2 more deserving parents than Tom and Allison. If you 2 read this, I love you! And I can't tell you how happy I am for you! My heart is full.

Did I mention that little Andrew wasn't so little at birth? 10 pounds, 3 ounces! Allison doesn't see (or feel) the beauty of a c-section YET, but I keep telling her that she will! When baby #2 comes along, she will LOVE that c-section! :)

In case my blogging continues to be as infrequent as it has been of late, then I guess I better wish you all a Happy Fall! But I do promise to TRY to be more timely with my posts...
