A FALL DAY WITH LAINEY

It was sweater weather this morning when Lainey played outside. She knows that on Halloween she'll wear a costume and get candy from the neighbors, but she doesn't have the details down yet. I asked her what she would say when she knocked on doors, and she said, "Please?"

Lainey was a surprise baby, and her mom had planned to take some students to Italy the summer she was born. I've told Ginger we could babysit any summer, but she wants to wait until Lainey is old enough to go. So the other night they were looking at pictures of Rome, and Ginger asked, "Do you want to go to Rome with Mommy someday?" and she said, "No, I want to go to Silver Dollar City!"
