October is Almost Here--And That Means Christmas!

Ok, so most of you know I love Christmas...no, I mean really love it. I begin listening to Christmas music (mostly instrumental, at least until the 15th! ha!) on November 1st. But as we were out and about yesterday, we noticed a few stores, BJs and the Dollar Tree, with Christmas decorations, lights, trees, and more out already. Not even October 1st, and Christmas things are out. Wow!

A nice weekend so far. Yesterday Kerry and I both got out for a run, then we went over to the Dam. Hiked down to where water is released from Falls Lake. The water comes rushing out at such a high rate that tons of folks take kayaks and ride on the rapids. The girls liked watching them, especially when they rolled over! Today we went for our first family portrait (it turned out so cute!), then Trader Joe's, and lunch at Red Lobster. Fun times!

First presidential debate the other night. Loved hearing 'Granddaddy' McCain talk to Obama like he was a little boy. Come on, seriously--people think this type of 'talking down' is what we need in this 21st Century? Imagine McCain talking to Iran like that--we would be nuked for sure!
