Friday.

Tonight, Joy went with Michelle to a lady's night out, or in.  I guess some of the ladies at the church were making it a bit of a slumber party but Joy is not staying overnight.  I think if she would have stayed overnight, there could have been some complications involving Sophie and eating.  It's times like these that I realize just how much Joy does for our family.  What a wonderful wife and mother!  God has truly blessed me with her.

I guess I should mention that while Joy was gone, Sophie was actually very good.  She wasn't very fussy or anything like that.  Of course, she slept for a portion of the evening but, that's irrelevant.  While Sophie napped, Molly and Caleb watched The Haunted Mansion movie while I was reading.  It was pretty relaxing.

When Sophie woke up, she was great.  The sad/cute thing that she did was when she crawled down the hallway to our bedroom door.  When I opened the door to our room (in which the lights were on, by the way) she crawled right to the bathroom sink area where Joy is sometimes brushing her teeth or doing her hair.  Of course, Joy was not there.  I guess that's what was sad.  But, it was pretty cute.  I think she did this a total of three times tonight.

Well, it definitely feels like fall outside.  Too bad it's raining.  We were planning on going to the pumpkin patch at the Belmont Farm in Matthews, VA tomorrow but, with this weather, I just don't see that happening.

Lastly, my boss told me today that November 1st (a Sunday night) will be when I start third shift.  I'm still pretty excited about it.  It will be nice to be in a different atmosphere.  Apparently, I'll also still be doing some processing at night for different day shift jobs.  It's going to be interesting if nothing else.

Anyway, thank the Lord it's Friday (and I'm off this weekend)!
