Halloween 2012 - Captain America

I was originally going to be The Hulk but Captain America is my true favorite super hero. Mom and Dad surprised me with a new suit since my other one was quite tattered. I'm holding my super awesome shield that Dad picked up for me. I like this suit since it has muscles. My other did not have that.

So far, there are only a few candies I will eat - sugar free lollipops, laffy taffy, skittles, and gummy life savers. No chocolate. Honestly, though, I was more interested in showing off my costume than in gaining candy.

I had the best time. In years past I've only visited a couple homes in the neighborhood. Tonight we went everywhere. It was so much fun.

Visiting Great Auntie...

This past week Mom took Nan, Sister, and me out to visit Great Auntie E. She has been ill and we wanted to cheer her up. She is very special to all of us and just a super amazing lady.

She was a grade school teacher for a couple of decades. She is always asking about my studies. This trip I brought my books and instead her reading to me, I read to her. She was so proud. 

We are all very grateful for her wonderful, loving, caring spirit.

Great Auntie, you and your faith are an inspiration to us all.

Thanks, Mom.

Alien Bones...

Mom found this free balloon at a lunch meeting she attended. I could not resist requesting a photo while wearing my glow-in-the-dark bones jammies.
