We had a great Halloween, and it all went too fast! Adam and I hosted a fun party for Parkers class, and then rushed home to have Julie and Jay ( our local cousins- who by the way, are AWESOME!) come over, followed by pumpkin carving, and getting Makenzie into her costume and out the door for a birthday party! Then we took the two younger ones out to dinner and FINALLY they were able to "trick or treat". Taylor was soo excited and could not walk to contain her excitement. I guess door to door was WAY more exciting than car to car! That ended with a firepit/movie in the cul-de-sac. We couldn't stay long because Adam had to rush to get his family from the MARTA. Yes- I said "the family"! It was the BIGGEST treat we could have gotten, and it was so amazing and unbelievable. They had gone to Mexico and while in Mexico City some computer problem forced the plane to leave late, causing them to miss their connecting flight here in ATL! It was fine with us! So we were able to spend some time with them, even if 6 of those hours were spent sleeping. Of course saying good-bye again was just as hard for us the second time, especially Makenzie. She cried her eyes out for a long while, and it was very sad. It really makes me reflect back in sadness, and really regret all the times I took them for granted. You know that saying- "you never really know what you had, until its gone"? Well, its true! I urge you to really appreciate your loved ones if you are lucky enough to be near them! Spend some time with them and make sure they know that you love and care for them. Living so far from the ones we love really is hard- harder than I ever thought. I am grateful to our loving Heavenly Father who has placed us in an area where we feel a big part of our neighborhood, and where we are surrounded by great,caring and loving people.
Much love and hugs- hope you all are well.

Ok, you made me cry my eyes out. I just remembered about your blog! Thank you for having a blog. I love it. It made me feel so good to SEE you all. Pam told me how they got to come see you guys. You all look beautiful. Miss You and love you.
Hey...you should check out how cute Marshae was on Halloween! So Jake and I were gonna go on vacation in December, and he was like..."hey, we should go to Georgia!" LOL...oh and my sis was wondering if you needed a tutu, holla back yo!
So funny, but your sister in law, Melissa is in 3 of my college classes. I sit next to her in my math class. She is so funny. I just can't believe what a small world this is.
apparently, when you right click on a picture on any blog, you can steal the picture. People are stealing pics of children and explointing them. kinda scary.
Melissa is fun to sit by. I would have never guessed her as shy.

Glad to see that your family is doing well. I just thought that I would let you know that Mrs. Bishop finally got her way. There is no longer a Severe Special Ed program at Coral Canyon Elem. We take Jesika to Heritage Elem. now and we LOVE it. If you guys were still here I think that Parker would enjoy it too. Hope that all is well with your family and Happy Thanksgiving.
