Finally, Another Tooth!

We finally have a 7th tooth! Woo Hoo! Patrick hasn't had ANY new teeth for 5 months, and another one finally broke through on the bottom tonight. He was so grumpy this afternoon, so I decided to pin him down and feel around in his mouth (which is a dangerous adventure). Maybe he will get another six at one time like last time.

First Day of Fall . . . or Winter?

It is so cold right now! I need a snuggie and hot chocolate! Right now it is 45 degrees and tomorrow the high is only supposed to be 47! We turned on the heater last night! Our area is in a Winter Storm Warning for the next 36 hours, and the foothills and mountains could get 6-12" of snow. This feels more like the first day of winter than the first day of fall! Thankfully, we should be back in the 70s by this weekend, but right now I am freezing; I am not prepared for cold weather yet. I need it to cool down gradually, not go from 82 on Sunday to 52 on Monday. BRRRR!

Rox Trot

On Saturday, our ward sponsored a community 5K fun run/walk as a ward activity. Even though it was unusually cold on Saturday, we had a pretty good turn out. Reed was volunteering at one of the crosswalks, but I walked it with Patrick. Once we got going he enjoyed the ride and slept for about 30 minutes of the walk. I am proud of myself for finishing because about 1/3 of it was pretty steep, and the stroller made it difficult at times, but it was a beautiful area, and the walk was really enjoyable. I hope the ward sponsors it again next year!

Labor Day

Yesterday for Labor Day we decided to take a quick day trip somewhere that would be fun and inexpensive. We picked Georgetown, a small tourist destination about an hour from our house. We had been there a couple years ago with Reed's parents, and so we packed a picnic lunch and headed out for the day. The drive there was fantastic. Georgetown is in the mountains, and this time of year is just beautiful. The weather was cool, but not cold, and it was the perfect day for walking.


We stopped first at the town park for our picnic. They have an amazing playground there. Patrick is finally starting to enjoy slides, so we played on that for about 20 minutes. Because he is walking more, he really enjoyed the whole process of the slide. He liked walking up all the steps with me and sitting down, counting to three, and sliding down. As soon and daddy caught him, though, he was pointing at me so we could do it again. After the playground we got the stroller out and walked the three or four blocks to Georgetown's historic downtown. Most of the old shops are open with ice cream shops, restaurants, photo galleries, jewelry shops, and boutiques.
After we got a picture of Patrick on the slide, our camera died, so the other three pictures I found online, but it represents Georgetown well.
