Off to see Grandma

Sierra is on her first airplane ride with Daddy. They
went to California last week to cheer Grandma Denos up.
She had a double Mastectomy on Wednesday. It was a surprise for her
and boy was she ever surprised. She is doing well and hopefully
her treatment from here on out won't be too intense for her.
We will keep her in our prayers.

Sierra loved visiting her cousins. The picture below is of her with Rachel
and Ellie. They spent a lot of time together and Sierra is still talking
about how much fun she had.

Trick-or-treat

Sammy is, of course, Spiderman. I think his cousin Zach
wanted to fight him because he was the evil Venom.

Sierra was a good witch. She wanted to make sure
she was a good witch so she didn't have to
have a green face.

Gabe was Link from the video game Zelda. Thank you to
Aunt Ginger for making costumes for us.

Our three trick-or-treaters

Sam really got into Trick-or-Treating this year. We actually got
to go to a lot of houses. His bucket was so full but he didn't want
me to carry it for him. By the time we were almost done, I was carrying him and holding my hand under the bucket so his poor arm wouldn't fall off.

Blue Belt

Gabe has been working hard to earn his blue belt in karate. I think
his motivation was that we told him he could start weapons if
he got his blue belt. Most of you know how much Gabe loves to play
with swords and so forth. I know, what are we thinking putting
a real weapon in his hand. They are really safe though so it is all good.
Congrats to Gabe on getting his blue belt.

Painting

We have been doing a lot of painting around our house and I just wanted to show you
how much Greg loves me because he knows I am afraid of heights. This is the entryway to
our house.
