The Changing of the Seasons

To all of my multitudinous blog followers -- for some reason I'm still stuck at the end of summer. The storks started disappearing sometime in September, the leaves started changing colors soon thereafter, and this week we had frost in the morning as we stepped outside on our way to seminary -- I am nonetheless still in denial. Obviously, I am a step behind the changing of the seasons. But, of course, that also explains why I am behind in my "monthly" blog posts. That and the fact that all of the pictures I want to post are on other computers which are almost always occupied by "other people" (aka C, L & B). Now I have decided that I should do blog posts without the accompanying photos -- aka "Fotos to Follow!" Maybe.

Anyway, here is what I might have written about in September and October:

1. Brace Yourselves for the Unexpected -- You guessed it -- Bryant AND Lissie both need braces . . . Bryant is completely missing a permanent tooth, and Lissie has a permanent tooth that wants to permanently stay up in her gums! And seriously, their teeth DO NOT look crooked! So now we are thinking of creative ways to pay for the unexpected.

2. Paris Here We Come! -- Actually, we backed out of this Paris trip. There was simply too much unrest (strikes/terrorist threats) in the "City of Love" this week and we decided not to be stupid about it. Lissie and I went to the movie and had a limited shopping spree as consolation. Yes, we love each other!

3. A Two Bathroom Home and Family -- Well, we got the upstairs bathroom tiled, but we are still waiting (and waiting) to have the sink and faucets, etc. installed. It's nonfunctional (which is better than dysfunctional) and gorgeous!
