Half way through October

I can't believe how quickly this month is flying by!  I should be accustomed by now, to the quick passage of time, but it feels like it keeps getting faster.  According to the news, we will have lots of leaf color change happening in the next week, and I look forward to that.  We are also expected to have lovely days to enjoy the leaves.  While that isn't good for our drought situation, it does make taking walks, etc, enjoyable.

Catherine commented last night that she doesn't want to wish away time.  I can't blame her.  She is starting to get a little emotional about this being her senior year.  She commented on how she only has two weeks left of marching band...ever.  Oh, tugging at the heart strings!  Things are starting to really get real about her applying to colleges.  She turned in her second application last weekend, and that school is very much her first choice.  Andrew is taking a day off school in a couple of weeks and taking her on a college visit for the day at that place so she can check out the nursing program specifically.  Where has the time gone?

In addition to band wrapping up in two weeks, swim begins at the end of next week.  The schedule is intense, but no more so than any other year.  In fact, having Catherine be able to drive is HUGE.  It can be tough to make sure that either Andrew or I are always available to transport, so we are very grateful she will be able to handle that.

Speaking of driving, Thomas will be getting his temporary permit very soon.  We are pleased, overall, with his grades, and he has earned the right to do so.  It doesn't seem possible that my baby has reached this stage, but that is reality.

September felt like a month that would never end, but October is rushing along!
