We celebrated Fall on Sat. nite since Luke was in the hospital on the 31

We don't usually dress up or go trick or treating we stay at home and have our own party... which is lots of fun and we eat candy. We had pizza made from english muffins and pepperoni you could cut to make a face on your pizza and we ate homemade carrot soup- the recipe was from a book we had finished reading this past week. The kids were so excited to bob for apples the whole week before- it was as much fun watching them do it. Of course we carved pumpkins- 17 this year.

Trick or treating- Briggs style :)

The kids love to run to the end of the driveway and run to our door, ring the bell and say,"trick or treat." We come and pass out the candy and they go and do it again. It was so mild out Sat. nite when we had our Fall celebration we stood outside and ate the candy...

Bobbing for apples- the kids loved it

Anna turned 13

Lily turned 9

Luke update- what a cutie he is

Luke actually was able to come home early once again.
He is amazing in his ability to handle things post op
and because he could drink and tolerate his pain meds.
orally we were home Friday evening. He is on a total
soft/liquids diet for 4 weeks... today he has not had any pain meds.
This picture was taken the day before his surgery.
His smile just melts my heart and soul.
