Hey Baby T! So we're super-happy today. It's a Good Day. Mostly because the heat wave broke over the weekend. Yay! I get to wear long sleeves again and not feel like I'm melting. It's blissful! Yesterday, in celebration of the fall weather (it only got up to like 63 degrees all day), I decided to make something in the croc pot. I love the croc pot because it makes the whole house smell amazing. So we had chicken from the croc pot and it was amazing. Yummmmy.
Your dad went fishing in the morning, which was fun for him. He got super sunburned, though. Poor thing. His face is all red except where his sunglasses were. Our neighbor Michael (he wants to be called Uncle Michael) was up for the weekend cutting down some trees, so your dad went fishing with him. Then he came over and I made them lunch.
In the afternoon we went to the carnival by the lake - Mountaineer Days, they call it. It's just a fair, though. It was too cold for a lot of people to be out, and I couldn't go on the rides because I'm pregnant with you, but it was fun anyway. Your dad went on the flying swing things. I was a little jealous because I love the flying swing things too, but it was fun to watch him, and honestly, even watching those rides made me queasy, so I wouldn't have been able to handle actually going on one, even if it was safe!
Last night it got really chilly and we still haven't lit the pilot light, so we just put on lots of blankets. It was tough getting out of bed this morning, but I love that - how warm and snuggly it is in the fall when it's chilly outside, but not quite enough to have the heater blasting, so we just cuddle up with cats and each other to stay warm, and argue about who should get out of bed first. Next year we'll have you to cuddle with. Yay!
Oh, I bought a halloween magazine, because I love fall, and they had costume ideas for babies. The cutest one was a little spider. You sew "legs" onto an outfit - basically stuffed socks sewn onto an outfit of the same color. It was so cute. Maybe next year you'll be a little spider for halloween. Man, I can't wait!
I guess that's it now. I'm feeling super good today because I slept the whole night and didn't wake up once. It was awesome! I guess you're always rested because you don't have to go to work. But you're doing lots of work growing, so I guess that's tiring.
Love,
mom

Dear Charlie Cheltenham -
This morning I went to church. I'm trying to find a nice church to bring you up in. Your dad grew up in a church. I had a church when I was a teenager. I think it's important for you to have a church to grow up in - to get that sense of community, and tradition and routine, as well as be regularly reminded that there is something bigger than you in the world, and you're part of something everlasting and bigger than you could ever comprehend. So I think I found a church that might be a fit for our little family. I'm excited about that!
Now I'm home eating strawberry shortcake and a decaf iced mocha. Yay for decaf espresso! I'm going to have a nice bubblebath in a little bit, while I still can. I guess in a few months it might be harder for me to take a bath, and I LOVE baths, so I'm getting as many in now as I can.
I'm really hoping that my maternity clothes that I ordered come soon. It's getting difficult to wear my trousers, even with the belly band. And there are, like, four shirts I can comfortably wear. I haven't gained much weight yet, though. Maybe a pound or two.
Oh, the other thing I'm going to do, before I get in the tub, is get the chicken soup started. I like making chicken soup. I like boiling the carcass to make the stock, and how the whole house smells wonderful, and now that it's getting a little chilly, it makes the windows steam up. I just LOVE it. And I love cutting up the vegetables and everything. It's such a good time.
So anyway, i'm going to make your dad lunch and get the soup started now, and then take my bath. Later tonight we're going to go for a walk around the lake. I hope you are growing strong in there, and getting lots of loving vibes from us, because we're sending them all the time.
Love,
mom
