We are having a great time settling into the fall season. Things have been really busy for about a month now; I'm watching my friend Ricci's son for her two mornings a week, teaching 5 flute students, helping at Awana at church, singing and playing flute on the church music team, going to Bible study on Thursday mornings, editing when the jobs come in, and trying to make sure I find time each week to rest. :)
Nate is 5 months old now and is creeping up on some milestones. He has rolled over on his own a few times but doesn't yet do it regularly. He can finally hold his head up pretty well. He does a funny laugh when I let him stand on my lap and I hold on to just his hands. Oh!--and I gave him rice cereal again this past weekend (the first try since his wide-eyed picture below), and he did much better. I also gave it to him last night and will do the same tonight and see how it goes.
My mom was out for a visit over the last weekend in September. We had a great time visiting, relaxing, playing with Nate (highlight of the weekend for Granny), doing a bit of shopping, eating out (and in), and just spending time together. Now we're counting down the days until Christmas, when we're going to go to Virginia (that reminds me: I need to start looking for tickets...).
Jon's job has been very busy for the past month or six weeks or so, as they are transitioning from one cell phone carrier (T-Mobile) to another (Verizon). Most of the transition seems to be done, so now I'm just praying that this was a profitable move for the company. Jon is stressed but seems to be getting better.
I'll leave you with a couple of pictures from Saturday 10/1:

I know how busy you must be (and *love* the new pictures of Nate--can't believe how much older he looks already in such a short time!), so please don't feel bad if you don't have time to write. Just a word now or then would be tres appreciated. :)
That is SO great you'll be in CA for Christmas? What kind of dates are you thinking? One week? Two weeks? I hope it overlaps well with our trip to Virginia so that we can see each other. (I haven't bought tickets for Virginia yet, but I'll probably be gone 8 to 10 days.)
(Oops... didn't mean to put a question mark after my first sentence.)
