October
October's my favorite month of the year. Good things always seem to happen this month. My dad was born in October, his very first grandchild was born on his 50th birthday; my brother was born; Stephen and I were married in October seven years ago; we had a wonderful Lawless family reunion in October three years ago; Stephen, Emily and I went on a much-anticipated trip to Boston and New York City in October last year; it's the beginning of fall (my favorite season); it marks the beginning of the holiday season (I love the build-up and anticipation of Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas); and of course, Halloween, one of my favorite days of the year, is in October.
Here's a list of things we plan to do (or have already done) this month:
-- Story Time at the library (this runs from September through May)
-- a short daytrip to Julian for some warm apple pie
-- flu shots and many doctor visits, including "The Big One" (where we find out the sex of BL #2!)
-- Gymnastics Class (which will continue through early December)
-- the Miramar Air Show (Emily LOVES planes, trains and automobiles, so we thought she'd enjoy this)
-- a trip to Boston (Stephen unfortunately has to stay home; just Em and I will go)
-- Discovery Time Toddlers Class (which will continue through November)
-- the Halloween Carnival at the library
-- Halloween! (but of course that's a given :-)
Ah... should be a fabulous (and exhausting) 31 days!

That sounds like so much fun. Especially going to Julian!
I've been meaning to ask about Discovery Time. Have you been to those classes yet? Does she like it?
October does sound busy. Seeing your list made me realize who busy my October is. It is a good month!
Oh, and, of course, I am very much looking forward to the big day (discovering the sex of Baby Lawless #2). Is there text message shorthand to indicate that I'm smiling?
No, Discovery Time doesn't start 'til the day after we get back from Boston. 12 hours after we get off the plane, we'll be at Discovery Time(!). Hopefully she'll be up to it. (Hopefully I'll be up to it!) It sounds like a lot of fun, though. Lots of peer interaction, arts & crafts, songs, etc. :-)
Would you believe she also gets her flu shot that day? And then the following day I have a routine prenatal appointment, and then the next day we have gymnastics! See, I told you October's gonna be a busy month!
