This week the girls had fun dressing up for Halloween and Stella enjoyed trick-or-treating with her daddy. Grammie and Pa came over to hand out candy with us and that was fun. We had special visitors this year too which was a welcomed surprise! When we spent time in Burlington we met a family from Brasher who also had a son experiencing respiratory distress. Christopher had a room right next to Trey and his mom Sandy was famous for cooking and baking special treats in the Ronald McDonald Family room at the hospital and we were lucky enough to benefit from her kitchen talents often! Sandy and her older son Xavier stopped by to trick-or-treat and shared wonderful news that Christopher will finally be able to come home this month! Nearly his entire little life has been spent in care facilities so this is such big news. We are so hopeful for Sandy and her family that Christopher's homecoming will be everything they've waited for and dreamed it would be!
As Stella and Claire continue to grow and thrive we are captivated by special moments: the two of them chasing each other around and giggling, Claire's warm snuggles when she's sleepy, Stella's new discovery of the words and meaning of 'I love you', Claire's hilarious yet deviant behavior - such as stealing Stella's cup and running away with it - on purpose!, and Stella singing along at church. We keep reminding ourselves to salvage these moments - we know they will pass too quickly.

This morning when we arrived at Church and I asked Stella to
take her jacket off she made herself at home and took her shoes off too! |
