Out and About

I dist a wittle wambie - don't mind me!

We had quite the eventful day today - first day with a new mom's group, and shopping afterwards. Roo was great though! There were 2, 3, 4, and 5 month babies there, one in each group (obviously Roo was the 3 month baby!). I found out one of the moms (with the 2 month old) lives just down the road from us! Next week will be busy, as the LLL meeting is Monday, Tuesday is another mom's group meeting and then this mom's group meeting is Wednesdays. We may just go to the LLL and Tuesday meeting next week for the sake of gas.

It has turned quite chilly here, especially at night. Last night was the first night I had to get up and put another blanket on the bed because I was too cold to sleep. It was 40 deg. this morning so I'm guessing it was close to freezing last night. I guess winter has finally hit! It is very sunny still, which is nice, although we did have a bout of rainy gray weather last week. Par for the course I suppose, but at least in the Willamette Valley we get some sun in the winter. When I lived in Portland, I went around 28-29 days in January without sun and was so busy I didn't realize it until the sun came out. I had literally forgotten it could get sunny! (This was just after we got engaged, so I was planning a wedding, was working 40-45 hours a week and taking 12 credits at school - I was a little absentminded by the end of the month!)


I got Riley's Halloween costume in the mail the other day - I'll post a pic of her dressed up in it on November 1st or 2nd, as we will be taking her out to the grandparents Nov. 1st because Joe has a business trip that week and won't be getting back until way late on the 31st.

My mom is flying in on the 25th to stay the week with us and I can't wait! It will be nice to have her here while Riley and I are more mobile. Last time she was here I was either very pregnant or newly postpartum, so we didn't get to do as much as I would have liked. Hopefully, it won't be too cold to go to Tuesday Market (farmer's market) while she is here.
