First Trick or Treating

Lauren,

Last night was your very first time trick or treating. You got a bucket full of candy. Too bad you can't have any yet...so Mommy will help you out and make good use of it. I'm gonna eat it!

You were the cutest Stinkerbell, oops, I meant Tinkerbell. I am so in love with you. I carried you from house to house, switching from right arm to left arm back to my right arm until both of my arms felt like they were going to fall off. I put you down to walk but you took awhile and the bigger kids were stumbling so then I picked you up and carried you again. Daddy was busy taking pictures and recording our night out. We had a huge turnout! You went trick or treating with most all of your first cousins. It was so much fun.

You have been sick this last week, throwing up almost daily. I am so worried about you. Daddy took you to the doctors yesterday and said that we just need to give you some pedialyte and you need to rest. You've been pretty much the same, eating well, playing well, but your sleeping has been awful. You get congested, toss and turn, so it's been rough on all of us.

I can't wait to see you at lunch. I love you always.
