Oct. 7: It feels like our schedule has been really full these last weeks. Pictures are in the gallery.
Last weekend (Sept. 28-30), I was in Northfield and St. Paul for a Carleton Alumni Council meeting. It was so wonderful to be back on campus. I really love Carleton. I find just being in the liberal arts environment to be very invigorating. Bryan and Andrew had a nice time here at home. They got out of the house a lot. At one point, I got a text message from Bryan (we now have cell phones:) with an urgent question, “Been at library for 2hrs. How do I get him to leave??”
Andrew does indeed love spending time at the library. He bounces from reading books to putting puzzles together to playing with the wooden toys to climbing on the furniture to looking at the animal mural, and then he starts the cycle again!
Bryan’s been taking a classical guitar class on Monday nights, so I’ve been inviting Terry over for dinner that night. It’s a fun chance to see him and to have company/extra help with Andrew on what otherwise would be a quiet evening.
We’re going to be heading back to Northfield for the Carleton Alumni Adventures committee meeting. Bryan and Andrew are going to hang out on campus while I’m in meetings. I’m sure they’ll enjoy some Hogan Bros. hoagies. I’m hoping that we have the chance to pick apples at Fireside orchard. And then we’re planning to spend some time with Maretta (and maybe Kyle) in St. Paul. Assuming that Andrew handles the drive alright, it should be a fun time:)
