"The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together."
--Erma Bombeck
"People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway."
--Mother Teresa

Cute as a bug!

This was Emily's first "real" Halloween and she had so much fun! She LOVED wearing her ladybug dress. She would run and spin around and everytime she saw a mirror she would stop and say "Oh Pretty!" This was taken at Inkley's. Every year they take Halloween pictures for really cheap. I think it turned out pretty good.





Livvy, Emily, and Mason


We went trunk or treating with Peggie and kids to our church. Emily thought it was pretty great! Some of the people would left her pick out her own candy. She would look over everything in the bowl, pick her favorite, and put it in her bucket. Then she would wave at them and say "Ya Ya!" (See Ya) and then move on to the next person. She caught on to the idea pretty fast. She loved to carry her bucket and didn't want help from anyone. It was getting so heavy, but it was HERS and would cry if we tried to carry it for her.



She started digging into the candy pretty fast. She also learned a new phrase today. "Candy! YUMMMM!"

That's alot of candy for a 1 year old! Luckely, she has a Dad who is more than willing to help her out with it!!

She makes a very pretty ladybug. I can't believe how big she is getting especially now that I don't see you at church anymore.
