How hard is it to update a blog every day, to post even the most mundane aspects of life? Evidently, incredibly hard. My grandfather kept a journal every night of his life, up until he had his stroke a few years ago, leaving him unable to write or read. Someday, those journals will be our only vision into his life.
I so want to give that gift to my daughters. So, I'm trying again!
This weekend was a beautiful fall weekend in Maine. The weather is unseasonably warm for October which is so lovely. We've finally had a fall that feels enjoyable instead of winter-like. Yesterday Andy went to the red sox game, where they won and cinched a spot in the World Series! He'll never forget that. Beaner had karate, which she is absolutely loving. I'm seeing small changes in her confidence, and she says things like, "Mom I broke a board at karate, so I can do hard things now." LOVE THAT.
Emily cheered for the last PAL game of the season. And now they have one week left to practice for their competition next weekend. She loves cheering, and it shows! Then they were babysat by Maddie at the Hallens house, so that mom could go to Mainely Brews with the Hallens and Vigues. Fun fun night full of laughing and new memories made.
Today we had our traditional "Carlton Family Bake Off." Millie and Dad made tollhouse pie (it's in the oven right now and smells ammmmmazing.) Beaner and Mom made pumpkin pie that is cooling on the counter and smells deliciously like fall. Grandma and Grandad are coming over tonight to taste test!
