Friday October 2nd

October is here and it sure feels like fall in the Fort. Glad I got The Sheridan in when I did, the Saturdays since have been pretty dicey weather wise. Rowan's getting more and more mobile. She's taking 7-8 steps at a time now, so getting really close. Once she realizes that it's easier to walk than crawl, it's on.

This weekend is the JDRF's Walk to Cure Diabetes. We'll be taking part at Franke Park in Fort Wayne. You can donate to my walk on my walker's page. Brooke's team leader this year, and we're hoping to get lots of donations. You can donate up through the end of October. Pictures and some video will be on the web site next week.

After the walk, we're off to see IU vs. Ohio State in Bloomington. I'm hoping we compete like we did last weekend and maybe, just maybe, pull it off. Not likely, but it'd be nice to do since we'll be there! No Redskins talk this week. They're too embarrassing right now to bother...
