Edward is ready for the Hawks home opener tomorrow. Well, ready to watch, anyway (or listen, as the game is, controversially, not available on local cable!) He clearly has a ways to go in learning to throw, rather than eat, the ball!

Actually, it's not even the first Iowa football game of his young life, since he was with us for the Outback Bowl in January. None of us remember much of it though, as that was back when we were feeding him every two hours around the clock. Forgive us if that whole month was a blur!

We've had a couple of chilly mornings this week--hooray for fall! I do love this time of year, even if some people find it depressing to anticipate the cold months. I welcome the return of jeans and fleece. Edward is well stocked in that department thanks to his cousin as well as some forward-thinking friends, who gave gifts at birth that he's just now growing into. We tried yesterday to capture the darling fleece jacket stitched by our friend Vickie but ended up with mostly just socks (from neighbors Bill and Tania.) Those were a huge hit at daycare--people came from other classrooms while on break to take a look! This morning we managed to get an upright look at the jacket before heading out the door to work and daycare.

Hope everyone has a restful long weekend! We will visit Ed's grandparents and great-grandparents. Fun for all!
