Spooky Time of Year

With the beginning of September starts one of my favorite countdowns of the year...countdown to Halloween!!!!

We've been talking about Halloween costumes since this summer, and the kids have possibly maybe reached a verdict...this year, it looks like our kids will be dressed as a walking Star Wars ensemble! Luke is, of course, hoping to be his namesake, Luke Skywalker. Beau wants to be a Clone Wars Trooper. And Jack is going to be dressed as Yoda, because, as Luke and Beau said, "He's the smallest."

That leaves me and the hubs to consider possibly continuing the Star Wars theme as Obi Wan and Princess Leia...

Or...we could move onto something else...with Clint's newly shaven head, I'm tempted to go as Popeye and Olive Oyl.

However, if BIL and SIL decide to go with us, I can totally see a group theme, like the Flintstones or Scooby Doo...

I love this time of year!!! Now if only the kids would stick with the costume pick...

My clone. The first thing most people notice is his red hair and beautiful blue eyes. He often stands out in a crowd, and he loves to be the center of attention. He is analytical, as well as very literal; but even still he has a strong faith in the Lord that I find extremely heartwarming and I couldn't ask for a better experience than going through all of his firsts with him.

My over-achiever. Everything comes easy to him, whether it be school, relationships, or anything else he tries. He wants to be a scientist when he grows up. He is so incredibly caring and loving, and he is always concerned for other people's feelings. I look forward to every day with him.

My miracle. He entered the world 4 months too soon, weighing 1 pound, 6 ounces, and he surpassed all the odds and expectations by leaving the hospital and growing and becoming a healthy little boy. He has struggled with a speech delay, which is quickly becoming a non-issue, and he does have vision problems that will most likely turn into a permanent disability, but he has a great attitude, and he loves everyone he meets, and they love him. His smile can light up a room. He loves to make people laugh. When I hear him speak, or watch him play, or hold him close, I can't help but thank God over and over for the privilege of him being in my life.
