Nothing new to report. The baby will come on December 7th. Dan ran a 16 mile race on Saturday, nothing like Spencer's PT training with 6.4 minute miles, but he completed it. The haze is much better. Our garden is failing- it is so moist here that  mold is growing on the stems of the plants.

Here's a couple of shots from after church last week.

Our sweetheart. She is a bit sick at the moment, but still adorable.

Waiting for Dan to run 16 miles...

After a day at the zoo. They were asleep before we even got to the car.

Books, we lay on the floor reading. Every. Single. Day. (Book recommendations welcome.)

Grocery shopping, Scout fell asleep after 5 minutes in the cart. Spent the next 40 minutes trying to steer the cart one handed while holding her head in the other. 

I look grumpy in this shot, I was. Just keeping it real.

We talked to Spencer last night, sounds like he's doing great, and he said he felt better about how it was going than he anticipated. Good luck this week!

Mary and Abe both went to birthday parties on Saturday. We never say yes, but they were both invited to parties on the same day and time so we split up and let them go. When I dropped Mary off a mother approached me and said she as so excited to meet me. That her son Rhees had told her on Friday that Mary was his new girl friend! I was surprised and asked Mary about it on Saturday night. She said it was true and that she like him. Long story short, after talking about boys and boy friends etc she came home from school today and said, "Mom, I have great news!" "I told Rhees it was against my religion to have a boy friend at such a young age, and even though he was sad he still tried to be my friend." I hope I never see that mother again. She probably thinks I am the worst kind of mom for breaking her son's heart when she thought it was harmless. I will do my best to avoid any and all parent contact for the rest of the year. :)

I guess the most important decision is that Maeser is going to be Ash (from Fantastic Mr. Fox) for halloween. Mary- a witch, or maybe Mrs. Fox. Abe wants to be a Kerbal, and Scout will be a zebra. I will be a skeleton- my usual costume for every other year as I am usually pregnant every other halloween.
