We survived Halloween and the kids were adorable. Abby dressed up as a beauty queen and David was a tornado. I think Pam did a great job on his costume. She took a regular kids’ t-shirt and decorated it herself and included letters on the back that said, “Lil Tornado.”

Halloween started a little early for us with the fall festival at our church the Wednesday before. Both Abby and David got plenty of candy from that event alone. Then, Halloween came along on Saturday and both kids were chomping at the bit to get out and start ringing doorbells. It bothered me that we did not see any other people out escorting their kids from one door to the next and I felt weird about being the first ones, but by 6:30 we had to get out there or the kids were going to explode.
Pam took the kids up and down our street and they got to meet several of our neighbors. That’s something we have needed to do since we moved in a few months back. I have met a few of our neighbors, but not nearly enough of them. Perhaps Halloween will be the ice-breaker we need to start building some more new friendships at our new home.
We have no new medical developments lately. We’re just happy to keep our family out of hospitals and clinics while all this H1N1 scare is going on. Because of David’s epilepsy, he is in a higher risk group than most people. We all have been vaccinated against the seasonal flu already, but we’re still awaiting our chance to get the H1N1 vaccine.
I’ll try to post more family news later. Thanks for checking in.
