Love

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy.
That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business.
What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy if anything can.

Halloween!

This year, we decided to save our money and not buy new costumes.  We encouraged Owen to dress up in his baseball uniform, but he decided to wear the same costume that he wore last year.

And minutes before it was time to leave to go Trick or Treating, Chloe decided to be a soccer player.

Silly boy could not wait to get out and see his friends and trick or treat with them.  The Grandmas stayed at the house to answer the door and pass out candy while we walked the dogs and the kids from house to house.

This house had some spooky windows.

It was dark in less than 30 minutes from leaving the house and pitch dark by the time we walked back up our street to go home.

I think this is the first year we didn't have any kids after 8pm.  That was a shocker.  Chloe designed the pumpkin on the left and Todd carved it.  Way to go, honeys!

Owen designed the one on the right, which I carved.  It was really important to him to have a peace sign carved into it.

Happy Halloween!
