What I'm reminiscing about...

The Ryder Cup is this weekend and I am remembering when Q was born and it was also Ryder Cup weekend.  Since we were second time parents and had everything under control (more or less!) we were able to spend our time in the hospital watching the golf while getting to know our new little guy.

What I'm loving...

The fall thunderstorms.  There was one on Sunday night and one last night.  The river needs the rain so the salmon can run. 

What I'm dreading...

We are hosting Q's t-ball rep team here next week and I am dreading cleaning the house.  Inviting people over is my tactic for making sure the house is actually clean and tidy, but that doesn't mean I am looking forward to it!

What we've been up to...

Settling into the school routine.  Both boys walk to school, E sometimes goes to “Snack and Study” at the library after school, more for the snack but does get his homework done too. Q goes to the Y and always has fun there. 

What I'm working on...

At work we are completing the process to renew our insurance portfolio.  We have a lot of insurance so there are a few things to sort through. And I have a few contracts to review and some corporate governance things to manage. 

What I'm excited about...

I'm getting a haircut tomorrow.  I let it go all summer so it will be nice to have it tidied up a little bit even though I do like having it long.

What I'm watching/reading...

I am on season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty, and desperately trying to avoid spoilers. Dave and I have started The Pitt and Black Rabbit. 

I don’t have anything to read right now, I need to get back to the library but haven’t had time. I am reading a chapter book with Q.  He reads a few pages and then I will read a bit to him.  He’s doing well with his reading, at least in English. I haven’t read with him in French for a little bit. 

What I'm listening to...

I like listening to The Bridge and The Daily to stay up to date on the news but I also appreciate the fun podcasts I listen to as well to balance it out.  The Ringer Dish, Rewatchables, and The Big Picture fit the bill for that!

What I'm wearing...

We are still enjoying summer temperatures so I'm still wearing shorts and tank tops during the day, although we do usually need a sweater in the evenings.  September is the perfect weather. 

What I'm doing this weekend...

Q’s birthday party and all the prep that goes with that, visiting out of town friends, and attending a cocktail party.

What I'm looking forward to next month...

A work trip to Mexico, Thanksgiving, E’s birthday, and Halloween

What else is new...

We picked out a sideboard and plant for our dining room. And I finally moved my grandmother’s nice dishes up to their home in the sideboard.  The other side has games in it for now.  Next step is some artwork to hang above. 

Linking up with Shay.
