October chill

It's supposed to dip down to 36 degrees tonight, the chilliest yet. I'm not complaining, though. We've had a pretty mild fall so far. But I did put the storm windows in today. We're also experimenting with the heat being at the lowest thermostat setting yet--63 during the day and 61 at night. We'll let you know if we can stand it or not.

Chris and Nolan are at a den meeting tonight while Thomas and I are hanging out. Thomas CANNOT WAIT to be in Cub Scouts too--next year! We had a busy weekend. Thomas is really getting faster with his swimming and can swim a little unassisted. He's making up a lesson on Wednesday this week so we can go visit my parents this weekend. The boys had friends over on Saturday afternoon and then we went to my mother-in-law's for dinner. On Sunday, Nolan had a baseball game against North Colonie. Even though they lost, it was such an awesome game. Nolan wore a jersey for the first time and looked really sharp. We had a hired umpire for the first time, and that made the game really exciting. Even when kids struck out, it was cool to hear the ump yell "SSTTRRRRRIIKE!". It's really giving Nolan a taste for what's to come in the spring. He's outgrown his glove too, so we're on the lookout for a lefty glove.

We have a short week this week with school and then a 5 day weekend! We're heading for my parents' Friday to Saturday and Nolan has a game Sunday. Monday, Chris and I are hoping to leave the kids with Gaba so we can go on a little hike. This is to celebrate our anniversary which is actually tomorrow. 13 years! We've known each other 17 years. We figured out that next year we'll actually know each other for longer than not, which is pretty cool. Also pretty cool to have married my best friend.
