Happy Halloween!!!

Our Halloween season this year was pretty tame.  A couple of weeks ago we went, along with cousin Zach, to a farm with a corn maze and pumpkin patch.  None of us had ever been in a corn maze before, and I think when Ellie is a few years older she will really enjoy it.

On Friday of last weekend we went to our friends' house for their annual Halloween/FL-GA party.  The big FL-GA football game is played in Jacksonville every year the last Saturday of October, so it's a great reason to combine the two for a party.  Ellie did not wear a costume (because I wasn't done making it!), but she did wear some cute Halloween clothes Aunt Genevieve gave her.  Jeff dressed as a race car driver in his Mazda gear, and I was a gypsy.  Ellie was a big hit at the party!

Today (Halloween) Jeff and Ellie took me to my weekly appointment at the Wound Care Clinic.  My wounds are getting smaller very slowly, but they are making progress.  It'll still be a few more weeks before they close up entirely (of course, my doctor has said, "a few more weeks..." every week for the 8 that I've been going to him).  After the doctor they took me to work and Ellie was able to go trick-or-treating in my office.  Since she doesn't have teeth and is only eating breast milk, she really just went around to say hello to everyone, not to get candy.  Her Halloween costume is a peanut, since she is our little Peanut.

We had one pair of trick-or-treaters tonight (our next-door neighbors), and Ellie went outside to show off her costume and give them candy.  Next year I hope to be able to take her around a little bit in the neighborhood.
