Fall is in the air

Yikes, August 1st was my last blog. The end of summer and start of fall came quickly, but with much fun and excitement. Cody and I got used to our new jobs: his at April Fender's Full of Wonder Daycare/Preschool & mine at BTSA (Beginning Teacher Support & Assessment) Consulting Teacher for my district. We're both very happy and making new friends. I also started graduate school at the San Francisco State University for my Masters in Admin and that's been a great complement to the new job and place at the district office. I'm seeing another side of education and it's quite interesting and I'm learning a lot.
Lady Notte and Greg are doing well too. The little lady had a good 20 week check up, and although little at the time, doing well. She kicks a lot more than Cody, I'm wondering if that's because she has more room to jam around (since Cody's cord was fused together.) In a couple more weeks, I'll officially be in my 3rd trimester-the final haul. Right now 26 weeks.) Greg's been enjoying work and playing in a softball tourney and weekly league. Speaking of living an active lifestyle, our siblings have been super athletes: Uncle Jonny won his flutag competition in front of 80,000 Philly fans, then rode 75 miles the next weekend for charity and today I'm waiting to hear how Aunt Paige and Uncle Kyle did in their marathon. I just found out that Noah finished the Chicago marathon and the Ashleys are on their way back to Kentucky.
We had a great trip back east in August-hanging out in Pottstown with family and having fun on the tractor, pond and with the trains of course and then Cody and I went to Utica and loved Sylan Beach and getting ice cream with family. Then back to Philly, PA and went up to William Penn's Hat, the Please Touch Museum, and the Reading Terminal. Great trip and flights!
Now school's been back for more than a month. Cody does a gymnastics class on Thursdays (though the instructor must think they're more like 20 than 2-a little intense; only for one more month. It started pretty chill, but a new instructor has different expectations. My pregnancy expectations of troubled veiny legs has returned with force and I'm stuck in medical compression stocking all the time. Oh well, it's worth saving the look of my legs post baby. It's just been hot here-last week two days near 100!
We've been quite social in September-going to Gordan and Stella's birthday parties and leaving Cody with the great sitter and going to Harmony by the Bay Musical Festival to see Matisyhau and Jimmy Cliff plus more others too. It was so great and Cody got the best sitter report of all times.
We're sad that Grammie broke her leg recently, but happy that Pops and Grammie had a great trip to Turkey. Yesterday we had a "I can't believe we live here" road trip: drove across a clear Golden Gate Bridge to Point Reyes National Park, played  at Limontour Beach, went to a farmer's market, an Oyster Farm for lunch and Lagunitas Brewery for some live music and a beer for Greg-three more months for me! Today we just got back from a bike ride to the park and the store where Cody picked out a new tooth brush and paste. (He's recently declined in his morning routine enthusiasm.) We're excited for next weekend's pumpkin patch field trip and camping near the coast with friends in Pescadero and then for Mandy and Sabi's trip out here. Ahhh back to those Eagles, hopefully Vick will have a better 2nd half. Go Birds!
