Sunny 9 for 2004 October 12

I was going for a walk with Lily in her cool stroller yesterday morning. I love this time of year when the leaves start changing colors and the mountain looks like it is on fire with all the golds, reds, and oranges. The weather is perfect, and the air is crisp and clean. Utah has great Falls. Something about this time of year also reminds me a lot of Harry Potter. I just I have fond memories reading the books and it was in the Fall when I first picked them up. I read the first 4 in under a month. Maybe is is because JK Rowling describes in great detail this time of year a lot in her books like the Halloween feast, etc.

News on the home front: Aaron went to 3 Texas dental school interviews. He said they went well. Now we wait until early Dec to find out which schools accept him. I guess we'll have to wait but I am not too stressed about it b/c I have a feeling we will get in at least one.

Yesterday when I got home from work Aaron was making dinner and holding Lily. I went to hold her and he said, "she's all yours." I get some satisfaction that Aaron is learning to appreciate what stay at home mom's days are like. Hopefully he will rememember when he is working lots, and he won't question what I do all day like some men do to their wives. I learned quickly that it is not easy caring for babies. So Aaron said that she was fussy the last 2 hours and I asked him when the last time she napped was. She was completely exhausted b/c when I held her and snuggled her, she fell asleep. I guess Aaron has to learn like I learned that babies that young can't really stay awake for more than 2 hours at a time. At least not Lily. They are maybe awake for 8 hours in a 24 hour time period. So hoepfully today goes better for him now that he knows he has to help her go down for naps after being awake for over an hour and a half. We'll see how it goes.

Aaron and I rented the edited version of "Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind." It was a pretty cool movie. Very bizarre at first- one of those artsy films. It left me with feelgood fuzzies though. A sweet movie I recommend.
