Autumn is in the air! On a windy, chilly day last week, we took the Metro into the city to visit the Smithsonian's Natural History Museum, and I had fun pointing out the Washington Monument and Capitol Building to the girls (not that they really cared...is it possible for an almost-four-year-old to be rolling her eyes at her mother already?!). That was followed by a very rainy day, which we turned into fun by putting on our raincoats and boots and playing in giant puddles on the driveway. This week was a week for real old fashioned autumn activities -- apple picking with our friend Dawn and her son Everett on Monday, and going to a cider-making/hayride activity at our local farm park on Wednesday with Ayris and her boys Aden and baby Max. Oma & Opa's piano arrived Tuesday night after making the long trek down from Aunt Irene's Manhattan apartment. Even though the piano is in desperate need of a tuning, the girls are loving it. We've all been playing it every day. I can't imagine how great it will be once the piano tuner comes on Monday. Nora's enjoyed her first full week of preschool (MWF pm). She's told me that the best part of preschool is making new friends. :-) Caroline kind of wishes she could go to school too, but I suspect that she would have a hard time of it. Besides, she has to wait until next year anyway. Well, Mike is calling me in to watch the next episode of "Glee," the new TV show we're trying to watch...
