Tuesday, November 18

A gray, cloudy, rainy day. The first day it was rainy all day and not just a brief shower. I stayed home all day and read, and Aeden slept a lot--he's starting a new cold and has had a faucet of snot all day. It felt like the season changed for good. Lacey, Maren and I had hot chocolate and cookies after school, and the girls are wearing gloves in the mornings.

I started The Kite Runner yesterday and wanted to just finish it, it was so graphic and engaging at the same time. I stayed up late just to finish it off. I don't think I've ever read a book in only two days.
