Halloween!!!

This year for Halloween we invited Papa and Grammy to come and spend the weekend with us. On Halloween night we had a bon-fire at our house after we went trick-or-treating. The Kemper family, Aunt Sarah and Uncle Troy came over too! Sarah and Troy handed out candy at our house for us while we went trick-or treating. (Thanks again Troy and Sarah!) The kids all had a blast trick-or-treating. Elijah really got the hang of it this year and wasn't shy at all. He and his best buddy Ben were so excited and were running from house to house. Adrie did well too! She and Claire had a great time together. Ezra and Joscie mostly rode in the wagon and watched. Ezra went up to a few houses. They all got tons of candy. Afterwards we all went back to our house and Papa started a fire for us. We had hot dogs, campfire pizza, marshmallows, pudgy pies, pumpkin pie, apple cider and lots of other good food. We had a blast!

Oh yeah...today also was a very special day...Elijah no longer has to wear his brace full-time! He only needs to wear it when he is doing something physical. He got his cast off 4 weeks ago. The Doctor really wanted him to be back in a cast for a few more weeks, but his skin on his arm was in such bad shape he was afraid to do so. He put Elijah in a brace full time, but told him he had to be really careful for a few more weeks. He had a brace on his arm for the last 4 weeks, but now his arm is mostly all better! Now we just have to do some therapy to get it stronger and get his movement in his wrist and hand back to normal. Elijah is so excited to have his arm back to normal. It was a long summer/fall for the little guy. Now...no more broken bones, PLEASE!
