We got some incredibly nice feedback about Christina from her dean today. I’m proud of her. I am not as proud of the Yankees. But… they still have a couple innings and a slim lead, so maybe I should shut up. What else is new?

We went to the pumpkin patch tonight and Christina picked out at least three or four perfect pumpkins before settling on one. Robin found a dented one in the first three minutes we were there and didn’t even bother looking at others after that. Can’t wait to see what faces emerge from these guys in a couple days.

Christina had a majorly disappointing day today, despite our efforts to make it special. Her seat got moved in math so now she doesn’t get to sit with her friend, her teachers won’t let her do backbends or round-offs at recess, she didn’t have anyone to play with at recess, she didn’t get to spend Halloween with her best friend like Robin did, Robin got more candy than she did, and she didn’t get any tablet time. It’s easy to look at pumpkin carving and making jack-o-lantern pizza and trick or treating as disappointing when everything else around it sucks. I guess there’s always next year.

I wrote and delivered this morning’s service at church and it turned out absolutely beautiful. I got a lot of really touching compliments on it. It was something I really needed to do and something that gave me a lot of comfort at a time when I really haven’t had much. I’m so glad that what has helped me this month also touched others. And also Christina bought a pumpkin that is as big as she is.
