The wind is starting to pick up and the kids are starting to get jittery...after the two, multiple-day power outages this summer, they don't like the big storms. Hurricane Sandy (a.k.a. Frankenstorm) is poised to come in late tonight, and we may lose power for a few days. The public schools are already closed Monday and Tuesday and I assume our parochial school isn't far behind in that decision. What a complete nuisance. We have candles and water, canned goods and the camping gear all set to go, plus flashlights and tarps and all the rest of it. We didn't get around to getting that chain saw after the last big one...nor a generator when I learned how expensive whole-house generators can be!! Let's hope the tulip poplars don't feel vindictive tonight.
Eight years ago today S and I ran our first (and only) Marine Corps Marathon. I eked up a sub-5 hour run (less than a minute under 5 hours!). I cannot believe it has been EIGHT years since then.
The kids are learning about baptism at school, so we were looking at the old photos of Z&C and their cousins A&M from 2007. They were so small back then! And so much has changed. But they are doing great and enjoying playing make-believe games with sticks and string and stickers, drawing pumpkins and witches in advance of Halloween, and are making friends at school.
