October is generally a busy month for us, and this year was no exception! Tom and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary and also 19 years together - that's literally half my life! My mom officially moved to Oklahoma. I'm not gonna lie, there have been tears at random times, but we've video chatted a few times and Henry enjoys seeing her on the screen! My sister hosted a Sunday football party, where I just chatted and didn't watch much football. My fantasy team is doing kind of meh this season, unfortunately. Henry's daycare put together a field trip to a local farm and pumpkin patch, and we had a great time! He loved sitting among the pumpkins in the field. We also attended our nephew's baptism (Henry was so well-behaved in the church!) and took a walk around the park afterwards. My dad and stepmom hosted their annual Halloween party, with activities for both the adults and the grandkids. It was such a fun afternoon! About a week later, we celebrated Henry's first Halloween! He dressed as a skeleton in his daycare parade. As far as new skills, he can clap, is starting to pull up on things, and is very close to crawling!

How are you doing?
Looks like you had an excellent reading month. I hope you'll have a great November too!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Stephanie!
DeleteSounds like you had a great month! Happy Anniversary! I look forward to your thought son Three Words for Goodbye. That's on my reading list!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Christina! I really liked Three Words - love this writing duo!
DeleteHappy anniversary! And I'm glad Henry had a good Halloween. Wait until he's old enough to trick-or-treat. It'll be impossible to keep up with him!
ReplyDeleteHaha, oh my, that will be fun!
DeleteA bittersweet month. OK is far away. Thank goodness for modern technology. Lots of fan and happy things too. Nineteen years! Congratulations to you two
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sam! We're lucky we can video chat and Henry can still have a close relationship with her!
DeleteSounds like a great month! Happy anniversary!!!! And sounds like you had a nice Halloween too. :) I do kinda want to read The Sanatorium- looks fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Greg! The Sanatorium was very atmospheric, I think you'd like it!
DeleteCongrats on your anniversary. Like you, my husband and I were together for years before we married. So even though we've been married for 23 years, we've been together for 31. Crazy to think I was only 23 when we started dating. That seems like a child now. LOL I hope November is off to a good start!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a long time! Haha, yes, I was 19 when we first started dating, so it's probably a good thing we dated so long before marriage!
DeleteCongrats with your anniversary! Looks like you had a great month overall. I'm sure it'll be tough getting used to your mom having moved farther away, but luckily there are video calls now, so that's something. Glad Henry had a good first Halloween! Hope you'll have a great November.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Lindsey! I just have to hope that now she's retired, she'll have plenty of time to come visit!
DeleteHappy anniversary! I hope November is filled with nothing but good things for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Alicia!
