We found out the other day the reason that Jaegan has been so fussy the last little while is he had a tooth breaking through. Jenny noticed it the other day. It is on the bottom and barely poking through, but he is much happier since it started to show.
Also, happy Halloween. I've been meaning to post pics, but haven't downloaded any yet. I'll get them up this weekend.

Ideas for future blog entries
I just want to chronicle a few ideas for future blog entries. I don't have time now to really give these justice, but my head is chock full of ideas on these topics. I just need to flesh them out before I post them in their entirety. Maybe via comments, my frequent visitors (all two of them) can give some feedback or ideas.
1. The dumbification of America via reality TV.
2. The relationship between celestial/terrestrial and the sun/moon
2. I already forgot the next one. It was a real winner. It'll come to me. Wait for it...well, I'll have to keep thinking about it.
In the meantime, I will keep this entry open for further addition.
Meanwhile, two times in the last week Boston has requested us to drive by the temple so he can see "Angel Rome-eye." It's really funny to hear him say it. In fact, we had the Elders over for dinner a couple weeks ago and he had them rolling with it. He really loves the temple and talks all the time about going inside. He is also already excited about being a missionary. It's reassuring to know that maybe we're doing something right by him. If we could only get him to hold still and be quiet during prayers.
Jaegan seems to have gotten over his flu, although he's traded his puking for being exceptionally fussy. He's eating incessantly, too, which I guess is good seeing as how he didn't really eat much of anything the week he was sick. Everyone says he's starting to put on weight. Boston has developed an appetite, too. He's starting to get chubby cheeks again like when he was a baby.
Our exciting week was all it was billed to be. I'll post more about our specific activities once we get pictures downloaded.

Busy Week Ahead
Well, as we begin to close out the month of October, this little Gunn family has a busy week ahead. I have young men's tomorrow night, then Thursday we are planning on going to look at some houses with Matt. Friday we have a ward "Chili Cook Off" for which I am planning on making Karen's (my mother in law) white chicken chili. I am hoping it will wow the ward as it does me. I look forward to this time of year almost exclusively for the fact that I will be able to consume this divine culinary concoction. If I make it half decently, I will make it sometime for everyone. It is SOOOO good. Saturday we have a big day lined up, spending the morning in Lehi with Lincoln and Carina to take in the sights and sounds of Thanksgiving Point's Halloween festivities. Then we have two Halloween parties to attend in the afternoon, one hosted by Karen and the other by Sarah. I really do love this time of year!
Hopefully the weather and everyone's health will hold up. The weather is actually supposed to be decent all week. So far, so good. A bit mild, but no storms which have been the norm for about the last month. We are supposed to have a storm-free weekend for the first time in about a month, so we'll cross our fingers with that.
Jaegan seems to be getting over his stomach flu, but threw up his whole bottle again yesterday. Boston woke up with a fever this morning and Jenny is under the weather with a cold as well. I'm knocking on wood as I type in hopes that I don't end up sick as well. I usually have this uncanny ability to avoid major illness, but with so much going on around me it might be inevitable. I am going to get my flu shot today, so hopefully that will help!

October Already?
I can't believe that it is already October, and the weather the last two weekends has proved it. The transitional seasons of spring and fall in Utah have been pretty non-existent the last couple of years. We'll go directly from a scorching hot summer into a bitter winter without any mild temperatures, and then right back into summer without much of a spring. It's kind of depressing in some ways, as spring and fall are my favorite seasons. We were able to see the beginning of the trees turning on our camping trip, but I'm afraid that the winter-like weather of the last two weekends will knock all the colors off the trees. I can only hope that this transition-less season change will lead to an early snow-packed ski season.
Because of the weather, we have not been able to do much over the last couple of weeks. I've been trying to keep up with my workout and diet routine to get in shape for our cruise in January, but didn't do so well this last week. I was able to get out and run on Monday and Jenny, Boston and Jaegan accompanied me to the park Thursday afternoon to get in a run before our shows (My Name Is Earl and The Office) started. By the way, the season premier of 30 Rock was REALLY funny. I'm looking forward to the rest of the season.
Monday (Heroes) and Thursday are really the only days that we watch TV. Otherwise, we're watching movies with Boston. His new favorite is The Jungle Book. He refers to himself as "Man Cub" and gets confused when we tell him the man cub's name is Mowgli.
Jae has just been getting bigger. He's smiling a lot, but is also a lot more grumpy. I think he's starting to realize that crying and fussing is a good way to get what he wants. Eventually, after trying the bottle, then the binkie, then the blankie, then the cuddling, then the whatever-else, mom and dad will usually get to what he needs.
That really does about sum up the last couple of weeks. It will be a sneeze and a sniffle and then it will be December. At least we have the cruise to keep us interested as the weather turns to gray.
