It's October 3 and we are all cold. It's in the 50s. We have a long, long winter ahead. We have radiators in our apartment but are a little unclear on how to turn them on. And when I say we, I really mean Telfer needs to figure out how to turn them on. We will adjust.

In other news, my parents arrive today. They are staying for one week and since this is not only Cate's first birthday, but Mom & Dad's first visit to NYC, we have a lot to celebrate. I haven't told them yet, but tonight they are going to babysit while we go to a Brandi Carlile concert! Cate will be asleep but still…a little bit of a dirty trick. I will make them dinner and open a nice bottle of wine to soften the blow.
