Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween. We trick-or-treated several times this week. We started with the downtown trick-or-treat last weekend with Auntie Lee and Uncle Luke. Addie had a costume day at pre-school on Thursday. Today we put on our family costumes and hit the neighborhood. Nana, Poppa, Grandma, Russie and the Gunnink girls made an appearance. We also meet up with some neighbors along the way. As you can see, I think the kids had a great time and we did too. I had fun putting together Brody's costume - way too much hot glue :0

Shriner's went great yesterday. As Brody said when we left - everyone that works there will be going to heaven for sure! They were so thorough and wonderful. The great news is nothing major on Jackson's mouth until he is 6 or 7 and will need a bone graft to accommodate his adult teeth. The not so good news is that his hearing is not great - some fluid in both ears that has compromised his ability to hear clearly. So tubes are in our near future. Pretty quick surgery and it sounds like it makes a huge difference with speech. Not sure if we will do it hear or down there, I guess wherever we can get in soonest. The best part of our whole visit was with the pediatric dentist who noticed some decay on one of Jax's teeth - he said that can't wait and got us an appointment in his private practice office later the same day, at no charge - he is spectacular with kids. I so wish he were closer. He even sent a princess toothbrush home for Addie. What a nice guy. I have to agree with Brody - Shriner's are amazing!!!!!

Onto the pictures:

Hi there!
I love all of the photos. The kids looked SO cute and how fun that you guys dressed up too. :)

How wonderful to hear the report from your doctor visit. That's great news. Too bad he will need tubes for his ears, but the other news is so great.

Enjoy the weekend.

Great pics and I'm glad it went so well with the doctors. Tubes are no biggie and he'll be running around like crazy when the docs are trying to get him to be still!!!
