Happy Halloween!

I think Harrison “got” Halloween a little more this year.  He would say his “trick-or-treat” and “thank you”…and even got pretty good at saying “But I need two!” when they only gave him one piece of candy.
He really isn’t very shy.
Here’s some pictures of the festivities this evening.

“Families start to break down- and marriages often break down, for that matter- when we stop enjoying each other.  There is a place for discipline, sacrifice, commitment, and perseverance; but an equally important place exists for enjoyment.  Those who never take the time to truly enjoy their family miss out on one of the most [...]

Ouch.

Here, hold this.

Last night we took my parents out for some ice cream before they left.
