Fall is here!

I am still not use to the weather here. It's October and I want to see the leaves changing and falling on the ground and to pull out my sweaters and snuggle up in a blanket with a cup of hot chocolate. Instead we're having some of our warmest days of the summer. We spent this last weekend playing in a softball tournament for Matthew's school. It was pretty fun and besides Matthew's bum ankle from sliding into 2nd we're not feeling too sore. Evan had a blast seeing some of his old friends from the city. We had seen some of them early on in the week because we went in to Matthew's school for some visits. Matthew was my dentist one day and cleaned my teeth and prepared a dental plan for me. After those babies apparently I have some acid decay in my mouth from throwing up so much, so watch out Becky Ann & Bridgette. Evan went in the next day, but saw someone else in the Pedo office. He seems to have the Nielsen mouth that is very prone to cavities. You'd think I stuck chewy carmels in his mouth before he went to bed every night and had him gargle with soda. Oh well, it's a good thing his dad's a dentist. Matthew also started his first root canal this week. He says so far he hasn't messed it up. I'm sure his patient is grateful for that. He's doing well, and still makes plenty of time to play with us.

Where do they find these brave souls that will allow a dental student/intern/whatever the technical term is to perform a root canal? I won't even let a dentist do that!! lol. What a cool husband you have....I'd keep him busy too with all my cavities. Everyone needs a dentist in the family....maybe Bentley will want to be one! hahaha.

Too bad we didn't call. We could have gone and watched your softball game.

Too bad you're not here--the leaves are just starting to change and Aaron made us all hot chocolate last night--I'm sure my kids are going to need to visit Grandpa dentist for sure this Christmas. Too many goodies lately!

vIt is definately starting to turn fall up here Bethany. It is so fun, but I know i'll be freezing soon! I'm just so excited for the snow though.

You're absolutely right about the weather thing. Michael said Saturday was one of the sunniest days in Golden Gate Park that he can remember. It was almost hot.
