Friday
afternoon: Leaf jumping, leaf throwing, and a little bit of leaf raking.
Friday night: Opening night for A Christmas Carol at Ford's Theatre. So amazing.
Saturday: The raking of a billion leaves
Not pictured: A trip to Costco, a couple of trips to Home Depot, changing kitchen light fixtures(which kept us up until 3 AM), and watching The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band.
I had never seen that movie before, but I'm a huge fan. Mei Li is the biggest fan. She's been pretending that Joe Carder has been writing her love notes, and she gets embarrassed when I ask her about it. I'm trying to act like it doesn't bug me.
I learned on Friday that a girl in Stephen's class wants to marry him because "he's cute and he likes my shoes." He doesn't seem to notice that she like-likes him.
This week is going to be so busy and great. Stephen's turning four, we've got family coming into town, and I'm going to make my first turkey. Last week, I started panicking about all there is to do, but I calmed down when I remembered that it's all happy stress.
I'm not sure what young people envision their life to be after they are married and have kids, but I would guess they don't understand completely all the hard work that is involved. But it's this hard, important, and happy work that has made our dreams come true. I'm so grateful for all of it.

What a great song :) And I love all those leaves!!
Ie Li, I have just been reading through all the posts I have missed and I am feeling seriously inspired. I love your blog so much. I was so sad to have missed you on Friday. I was just across the street (the main road, Lewinsville) picking Will up from his afternoon preschool. I just left the phone in the car and by the time I got back you were gone. I must have missed you by a minute. I love that girls have crushes on Baby Guy. I would, too. A little boy who would tell his mother she was crazy for crying on his sister's first day of school is so my type. Plus that face!
