Is it really almost November? How quickly the days seem to go by. Time flies when you're having fun. Last weekend Dan and I enjoyed a short get away for a couples' retreat at the Wilds. This coming weekend we are going to the Wilds again for a deacon's retreat. The fall colors were beautiful last weekend, and I am hoping the rain hasn't knocked all of the leaves off.
The most exciting news on the homefront is that Daniel has a new cousin, Jess Charles Smetana, who was born last week to Dan's sister Amy. Daniel and I are flying up to Ohio next week for a visit. I know Daniel is going to love the airplane. He loves planes, trains, trucks, and just about any other piece of machinery that moves!
One of my favorite "Daniel-isms" right now is his love for "faw-fee." He is his father's son and loves to drink "faw-fee." Black, of course.
Tonight is a pumpkin carving activity for the teens....better run get the apple cider warming! Cooler temperatures should arrive tomorrow, but we will pretend for tonight.
