October

Leilani's been fickle about going on walks lately. She used to love them but now all she wants to do is run behind the house to the backyard so she can play in the yard. But we still try to get her to go for a walk everyday because we know it's going to get really cold really soon, and we want to take advantage of the warm weather while we still can. (Last year it started snowing at the end of October!)

October is a big month for us. Our anniversary is next week. My birthday is at the beginning of November, but we usually celebrate it this month, and we usually go on vacation somewhere for it. And the Admirals' hockey season starts in October, and we have season tickets. So it gets kinda hectic. Add to that the fact that we're both in school now and things get crazy. Just thinking about it makes me anxious!

We have Leilani scheduled to be baby-sat by our good friend Derek next week so we can go out for dinner to celebrate our anniversary. This will be the first time Leilani has been baby-sat by anyone other than her Grandma. I'm actually excited about it. I think it's good for Leilani to be around other people. 

I also just got Leilani's Halloween costume last week. Here's a hint: She'll be a character who is less than 3 feet tall, is 900 years old, and is a Jedi Master.
