Welcome, Baby Bradley!

This is our new nephew, Bradley--adopted by my sister Melissa and her husband, Sammie, two days ago. I can't wait to meet this precious little boy!!! I'll kiss his tiny cheek and whisper in his ear, "You're the answer to many, many prayers."

Happy Halloween!

Here's the little crew on Halloween. Poor Alex was a miserable little monkey with the flu, but he's doing better now!

Today Katie said, "I'll put these candies up here so the ants don't choke." (Brief pause.) "Ants don't choke . . . babies choke!"

You can tell the points I've been trying to drive home lately:
1. Don't eat in the TV room, or the ants will come back.
2. Don't leave tiny Halloween candy on the floor, or Alex will choke.
I guess some of what I say is getting through, even if it's a bit muddled!
