Halloween fun

Our Halloween was busy, busy! We started the day at Sam's work for a little trick or treating. I've never seen anything like it. All of the cubes were decorated to the max. There were haunted houses and goblins and ghouls. My favorite was Bon Qui Qui, she was spot on!

Then we had a visit from Jane followed by a journey to Jessie's Aunt Barb's house for Halloween fun:





Jessica and Matilda finally met and here is Jessie the bee! I also got to meet Jessica's beau Dave who I loved!



I loved getting to see all of Jessie's family and friends. They are so fun and so festive. Barb gives Martha a run for her money.

Thank you Barb for having us. We love you all!

Happy Halloweeeeen

Matilda got a sweet card in the mail yesterday from her Aunt Liz. She was very excited..ok, we were!



The spookiest day of the year is tomorrow and I mean what is scarier than a baby in a ghost hat? Right...





Have fun all you tricks and treats!

Thank you Judy and Anna for the cute hat!

Had a great time today Melanie!

Thinking of Nie

Even though I don't know Stephanie Nielson, I think about her a lot. I think about her children, her husband, their progress. I keep up with them through cjanerun, her sister Courtney's blog. I still love to read her archives on nieniedialogues. I came across a Halloween post where she showed off her decorated mantle. I love the black spray painted twigs and birds. She's so inspiring to me. I just love her and miss reading her thoughts on motherhood and being a wife.




Please continue to pray for their healing.
