Halloween Still Alive in our Cove

I've heard lots of people saying how few trick-or-treaters they had...forget about it!

We had 50! We counted because Jaime chose PRETZELS for us to give out. Talk about being the nerd house on the cove. If we had had a pumpkin sitting out there, I'm sure it would've been bashed. We knew exactly how many bags of pretzels we had, 60...and we had 10 left when the last pillow-case-toting gremlin left our stoop. We gave each treater 1 bag. Okay, we also gave them a tootsie roll pop. Jaime was so cute, we are trying to cut down on expenses leading up to Baby Sanderson's arrival in December. She went to Costco to buy bulk chocolate for our costumed visitors, and she came home with pretzels & tootsie roll pops. I love my wife.

Today ushered in our 34 week visit to the doc! We feel so grateful, God is so good, this checkup was like the others...the doc said everything with Jaime & the baby was terrific. What a blessing. 6 weeks to go, and there's plenty left to do...but mostly little odd jobs. We visited our friends from Bradley class last night before church, and the new father had built the coolest red barn doors for closet doors in their baby's nursery. He also hand-made a picket fence for the perimeter of the room. I thought I was doing good painting the room & putting the crib together!

Here's a headline from Christian Chronicle that I'll leave with you: "Tsunami orphans give money to Katrina victims." Awesome.
