Baby's First Halloween!
Today marks Boo's first Halloween! We celebrated with the party a few weeks ago and today we went downtown to the square for trick-or-treating (really we just pushed Boo in the stroller and looked at everyone else). It was fun to see all of the itty bitty's all dressed up! So cute! Here are some pics.

Promotion Day
B-man's official promotion date is Nov 1st, but we had his promotion ceremony today on campus. It was a BEAUTIFUL fall day and the promotion was very nice.
We're so proud of you B for all of your hard work, dedication, and sacrifice. You definitely deserve this day!
B-man addressing the formation and thanking me and Boo for all we do to support him!
Boo eating leaves! He would NOT stop trying to eat them!

Prayerful Wednesday
UPDATE: Stellan is here!!! And according to the family blog, "the NICU team has yet to find a single thing wrong with him"!!! Check here for more details! Praise God!
Original Post:
I know it's supposed to be Wordless or Wordle Wednesday, but today we're going with Prayerful Wednesday.
I happened across a blog a while ago about a family with 3 small children and one on the way. Well, MckMuffin (the one on the way) was diagnosed with a fatal heart defect in utero and the parents were told that he would surely die. MckMama was hospitalized for a while and put on various medications to help correct her baby's heart rate, etc. Miraculously, when they took the mom off of the meds about a week or so ago because of her own growing heart complications, they found that MckMuffin's heart rate was excellent. He still has an enlarged heart and is very sick (per the doctors), but this family is so faithful. Beyond words faithful and they have totally given this problem to God to handle. Such surrender.
Well, today is MckMuffin's BIRTH day. He will be born via c-section at 9:30 a.m. CST. Please join thousands in praying for his health as well as his mother's health on this day. He already is a miracle baby (aren't they all?) and we're praying for continued healing and miracles for this little guy who has already touched the lives of people all over the world. Check out more about their wonderful family here.

Forward Progress, Otter-ing, Good Morning Sandy, and The BIG HILL!
Here are some videos to keep you smiling and laughing!
This first one is of Boo crawling!!! He does short bouts of the real thing intermingled with inch-worming and scooting forward. But, it's all forward progression and we're all happy about that. He just needed the right motivation... the remote control! This boy LOVES electronics! He ends the video demonstrating our newest made up term around here: otter-ing. This is what G does when he gets to his destination object and rolls over on his back to play with it. He does it every time! Too cute! Maybe he should have been an otter for Halloween. Wait...there's still time.
This next one is a little snippet into our daily routine. Every morning after I feed G and change his roos, I sit him on the floor and we call our beloved yellow dog (aka Nanny Sandy) into his room and give her good morning hugs. She's always waiting in the hall and G gets sooo excited when he hears me say.... "Good Morning, Sandy"! He is usually more excited than displayed here. I think he was a little distracted by the camera.
Next up, the BIG HILL. There's a little bit of a back story here, so bear with me. When Aunt Rob and I were little girls, Granddaddy (BeBe's dad) used to take us down the street from his house to the BIG HILL!!! We'd take cardboard boxes and sit on them and slide down what seemed like the side of a mountain to us!!! It was so thrilling and exciting. We L-O-V-E-D it! What's funny is now we know the the big hill isn't so big. In fact, compared to our memory, it looks so small and puny. "That's it??? Are you sure???" Ha!! So, here's Boo going down the BIG HILL in our front yard in his little red wagon. In fact, when I told B-man I was going to take G down the big hill, he looked at me and said, "What hill?" It cracks me up to watch Boo's face and hair as we roll down the hill.
Hope you enjoyed!
