Happy Halloween!

Introducing... Caelin as Shimmer (from "Shimmer and Shine" series on Nick Jr) and Cade as Dipper (from Gravity Falls on Disney XD) for this Halloween's adventure!  We had to buy Caelin's costume this year, but Cade helped make his with the additional purchase of the official hat from Amazon.  I thought they looked rather cute...but I know I am biased.  We celebrated the evening with neighbors and enjoyed the beautiful weather walking around.   Cade adventured into the haunted house with Daddy, while Mommy and Caelin walked home early as Caelin was not feeling well.  After we all settled in at home, we gave out candy for a bit before heading off to bed.  It is always fun to see so many kids out and neighbors being together in the neighborhood.  Until next year Halloween...

This year we visited Houston NW Church for thei fall festival with Gamee/Grampee, Christopher/Heather, Andrew and Jacob.  It was fun to spend time watching the cousins get into the Halloween spirit.

Annual Developmental Pumpkin Patch

One of my favorite traditions is the annual Hayride sponsored by the KISD Developmental staff.  All current and alumni students are invited to attend and this year we were well over 400 attendees.  We check out the pumpkin patches, ride the hayride, cook hotdogs/smores via campfire, and dance to music.  The students have such a great time, but I believe the adults are the ones that are truly blessed.  Such a great time to see everyone smiling.  For me, it is important that Cade and Caelin be around others that are different and help celebrate what strengths they have.  We all have a gift to give this world, and I am proud watching our family celebrate with them.  This year Gamee even joined in on the fun.  Thank you Lord for whom all blessings flow!
