Happy Halloween!


Halloween is always a favorite holiday around our house! We love to decorate and we love the whole feeling in the air surrounding that night! We had fun making carameled apples, listening to Halloween tunes and just being together. We knew this would be a different Halloween, by virtue of what's going on in our life right now. We have always spent it all together, so it made us sad to divide up to conquer Halloween. Grace was able to make it to about 5 houses, and she had a great time. Then she decided she was too tired to go on. We are grateful she tries so hard, and is so good about knowing when it is all too much. She has done fairly well this week, despite chemo. She had a few nights up with aches and pains and has had a bad stomach from it (in fact she won't eat more than a few bites of yogurt, and a bite or two of dinner and she's done for the day). But, she still championed through Halloween-even visiting JR's office that day. Tanner had a blast! He and JR met up with friends and made out like bandits on candy. Tanner loved being a special ops army man! Eva thinks the whole concept of Halloween is just delightful! Who wouldn't love practicing a newly found walking skill coupled with free candy at each door? We hope everyone had a great Halloween!

yes, holidays are probably going to be a bit different over the next few years given the new challenge that all of you have had to embrace - we hope that you are still able to find the magic & inspiration of the holiday season ahead. we think of you often; you are always close to our hearts & prayers. little Grace is often the one that i think of when i see a bright star in the sky late at night; i am up often lately now that our new little one arrived...nursing every two hours. i save most of my wishes for one person: Grace.

What great outfits! And, I too love Halloween, although my decorations don't start to compare to how cute and creative you are! Way to go T for scoring big on the candy. I think I would have been out all night if I could have too.
