Sept. 11: Sylvia is seven months old today! Andrew is at preschool this morning, and Sylvia is napping. I got a couple loads of laundry going, and now I’m taking a half hour before a conference call to check favorite websites and to work on a new, prettier fall template. But first, I needed to delete the 30 or so spam comments and do a quick update on our weekend.
It was a relaxing, beautiful weekend, and it really started feeling like autumn. Lisa invited us on an apple picking outing, so on Saturday (after Lisa and Michael babysat Andrew for a few hours), we all went to the Eplegaarden orchard. Lots of pictures are in the gallery. The trees in the open rows had been quite picked over, so all the remaining apples were way high in the trees. Fortunately we had two strong guys and one little guy, so Bryan and Michael hoisted Andrew up over their heads for most of our apples. I made apple pie and apple muffins shortly thereafter. Thanks, Lisa, for a fun outing!
Althea, Bryan, Andrew, and Sylvia
