October...really...already...

I have to say this is the month that we have been waiting on to get here! Dottie and Ada should arrive very, very soon now. I asked Amy last night ... do you have everything packed for the hospital... do you have everything you need for the girls to come home? I'm a listmaker. Ticking things off just plain feels good to me. Problem now is...I get a list started...now where did I put that thing?! What was it I needed to get done TODAY?

All in all, things are mostly in place for the BIG DAY here and in Dallas. Just gotta tweak a few things for school a little later ... A friend once told me, "If you wanna see your life flash before your eyes...teach school!" She's right. The busyness of my days make turning calendar pages look like a rush of wind came through. I want to stop, though, I want to remember these moments of anticipation. I want to remember how I felt. What we said. What we did in these days of wait.

Changing seasons. Changing leaves. Changing lives. (...and soon...changing diapers!)
