Staying warm

Showing off.

As the summer comes to an end we are so happy to see the weather change. Sure, it is supposed to get up to 80 tomorrow, but last night we got down in the low 30's, although we didn't get down to the long awaited 32. With our high yesterday only getting up to 50 we even saw our pellet stove turn on. It was a beautiful and very welcome sight. The way we look at it is you can add more layers if you are cold, but when it gets so hot that you can't stand it, you can only take so many clothes off. So thank you fall.

Speaking of fall, that means football to many. Once again, Colin and Jason showed their appreciation for the sport by watching many games, College and NFL, over the weekend. GO POKES!!!!! And the next most important game of the weekend was Colin's Broncos. He has loved them from the time he knew what football was and they will always hold a special place in his heart. That game was shocking in many ways and offered some of the best football entertainment that we have seen in a long time. It is sad that someone was severely injured during the game, but as always the game went on and was very intense for all watching. Just when Colin sat on the floor with a sad face thinking that all hope was gone for his team.... whammy....... a field goal to save the game. AMAZING!!! Now if every game had that kind of an ending all watching would have high blood pressure. Jason watched every bit of every football game that came on our TV. He is addicted. I guess you can say like father like son.

We also had visitors over the weekend. Colin's parents came down for the first time since the beginning of the year. Therefore they hadn't seen any of the work we had done on the house. I think they were impressed and they even had a chance to see Jason's tricks. He has a lot of them and they finally saw how entertaining our little man is.

After enjoying a cool weekend, it is back to the grind for another week. The weeks do seem to be flying by, but there are so many to go before things get back into a groove in this house. With every day we watch my already expanding waistline grow and wonder what it will be like with 2 kids and how big am I going to get. Jason even noticed something is different. I wasn't this size until I was about 15 weeks along with Jason....... this could get ugly.

We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and look forward to reading about your exciting tails. Have a great week.
