Another crazy week for the books! Robert headed back to base on Saturday, and the house is back to that weird quiet again. During his visit home, Robert bought a fog machine for our Halloween decorations. It sounded cool, but I don’t think he was impressed with it. Most of our trick-or-treaters enjoyed it, but a few little ones were scared of it.

We only have 16 days until we head to sunny California to see Jacob graduate. I am so nervous. I flew once when I was young, and all I remember of the experience was the clouds. Airports are nothing new to me, and I’ve had plenty of time...
