Early October Life

My current foggy view from the Seattle airport. SO FOGGY here. It's kind of freaky. There is a pileup of little boys (and one awesome little girl) standing at this window oogling the planes.

So, hi! Time is moving so fast! And, we're trying to pack as much stuff in before baby comes so we can really just hunker down and take good care of (and enjoy!) him. I've been traveling a lot for work. In fact, I'm writing this from the Seattle airport as I'm on my way to the WSU-Vancouver campus (flying to Portland) to give a workshop for two-year college instructors. The workshop is 2 hours long and I'm totally nervous about it. I guess I just want these instructors to feel like I'm not wasting their time! I've done a lot of planning for it, so I hope it goes well.  Then, next week I head to Louisville, KY for a conference. That one is a little more play than work. :)  I'm going to stay w/ my good friend Cheryl who I went to grad school with. Should be fun. It's rare I travel this often for work (usually 2-3 times/year) but it's kind of all piled up in early fall, which is GOOD as I'm getting it done.

Other than teaching stuff and my wacky travel schedule (which always makes Jeff's life a little hectic as well) we haven't been up to much other than some nesting. Here's some pics!

Enid is weird. She demanded to get into Jeff's lap during breakfast, and then just stood there like a statue. What did she want? Toast? we don't know. 

This photo gives me giggles. Jeff looks surly about buying carrots at the farmer's market. It's nearing the end of the season at the Farmer's Market. Lots of root vegetables and apples. Sweet delicious apples. (and suddenly I'm bummed I didn't bring any with me as I'm sitting here waiting for a flight and totally hungry. A honeycrisp would really hit the spot right now).

Kristin bakes macaroons! Our friends Keri and Andy came over for dinner. Jeff made a ton of Indian food (I was soooo full) and I made cookies. (aside: my neck looks really weird here)

Macaroons!!! So good. I sent Keri and Andy home with a bunch for their boys. Then I was mad I did, because I wanted them for myself. Sigh. 

Looking forward to meeting Miley next week and catching up!
