this weekend is the harvest moon, it is called that because it gives off enough light to let farmers work late into the night harvesting their crop. at least, that’s what i recall. all my crops are in so i won’t have to use the extra light.
i took the big kids for a walk one day this week over to the walking bridge in lyndhurst that connects the two disconnected sides of professor rd, we also went through the boy’s favorite secret path that connects professor and fay for walking/bike traffic only. the smell of autumn was heavy in the air.
the boy and i are settling into our morning routine, although the wife took over this morning, sensing that he needed some mommy time. he’s been going through a lot of changes lately. we are trying to get him used to eating something before he gets on the bus, today he did eat a toaster strudel that looked pretty chocolatey.
the first time he took the bus home, on monday, they managed to get him loaded up on the wrong one and both he and the wife were pretty upset, but things have calmed down. he is gone a long time for just being in kindergarten, leaving at around 7:30 in the morning and not getting home until 2:45 or so.
the girl now has the head cold that has been passing from kid to kid, but can manage with it. she went over to grandma’s house yesterday and had a grand old time.
the baby still has her cold. she’s sniffing and all filled up with snot making eating more of a chore. but she is still getting chubby.
there are some more studio pictures over at the website.
this sunday we are going to the sister’s of nortre dame chicken barbecue out at notre dame-cathedral latin with my parents and at least one of my brother’s families. i miss this some years as it conflicts with brown’s games but this weekend they are in green bay and it doesn’t start until 4:15 (we better be home by then!).
i managed to go to the only game the tribe has lost lately, but it was still fun to go to a game. we had good seats, a friend/coworker has an “indian’s guy” that works for the team who can get good comp seats. they are making a pretty strong run and will hopefully, suprisingly make the playoffs.
