Chilly weather is here!

Last week, Memaw (my mom) and Grandmalew (Andy's mom) came to stay with me while Andy was out of town on a school retreat. They brought along things for Theo, of course, which included several sweatsuits and a new sweater. I am always grateful for the way our families take care of us, but I guessed it would still be a few weeks before we needed such warm clothes. I was wrong. Bellingham was cold today! I mean c-o-l-d! I even thought about turning on the heat (which I didn't...we like to challenge ourselves to leave it off as long as possible). Theo has worn a sweatsuit, sweater, coat, hat, or something else warm every day this week. I don't know how warm he stays since he always has a gigantic ring of drool around his neck. These are pictures of him in his new bear sweater from earlier this week. He had a little runny nose today, so he's already in bed. We'll see if he dries up enough to go to church tomorrow. I never quite know how sick is sick enough to keep him home. I guess that's the problem with having a kid who is always well. I'll just count my blessings and pray for speedy healing for our little boy.
