It’s Fall! And Dangles the Monkey

Sadly I wasn’t too far behind on this post when I started, but I did get the pictures ready in time to add to the post.  And then something happened to September.  Actually, it’s like it didn’t happen at all.  Thus, we have an almost

I had a “big” Wednesday night out on the town!  Well, kinda….a night out now is a lot different than a night out before Jenson was born.  The plans weren’t made until the night before, but Lo didn’t even hesitate to tell me to go
