October Thoughts

Hello everyone... October, already. I just can't believe we are so far in the year. I think Abi makes time fly by. I'm not sure how she does it, but she must have some connections with Father Time.

I know that it is getting really late in the year when I actually have been thinking of Christmas already. I, as a rule, do not decorate for Christmas until as close to Thanksgiving as possible because I think the holiday is stretched too far... As an example, CVS (and many other stores I've noticed) already have the Christmas decorations out!! YIKES! At least at CVS, we have only a few feet set up... by end of October, I'm sure we will be inundated with Christmas merchandise.

Greg and I booked our flights to North Dakota for Christmas also today. It will be the first Christmas that we have been able to spend with my family in about four years. Of course the trade-off is that we won't be in New York to spend it with Greg's family. Anybody have a plan to rid of the miles between North Dakota and New York? I've been trying to figure it out without hurting the people in those states... I'm thinking there has got to be a way. :)

I am going to post a few pictures of Abi taken in the past couple of months. They are just a hodge-podge of pictures that I think are cute. I hope you agree. :) Let me know what you think of them.
