May's very first sick day

So, three weeks into preschool, May has a cold that's sufficiently nasty that I called her in sick to her fifth day of school ever. If she isn't drastically better by tomorrow, she may be getting called in again!

She loves school, though, and is a little upset at missing it.

Her only complain is that the students don't get to see the animals every day. And I can't take her after class. If I do, I've discovered, I wind up sitting in traffic on Route 2 and the 15-minute ride home becomes an 90-minute ride home. And then she gets pizza for dinner, which is not very good.

Other than that, things are fine up here. Uncle Steve is coming to visit this weekend, which is good because it's been almost a year since May's seen her Godfather. Our autumn is filling up fast, as it does every year, with parties and outings. We think she'll really enjoy the apple picking this year.

Auntie Jen has finally moved into her new house and has had time, again, to take up the duties of Ferry Family Photographer (I'm going to have a t-shirt made or something), so please enjoy these lovely photos of May in Auntie Jen's new house!
