Chatters,
Welcome to the newest member of the Cain Clan "Bean". Bean is not even nine weeks in the tummy and has his/her photo on the internet! We are anxious to hear all the updates Zach and Holly.
Nat and Mike came down for a visit last week. We all had a great time and were so sad to see them go. Bandit and Maximus got along great! We are looking forward to coming home for Thanksgiving!
We had a great Halloween. Grace had been looking forward to Halloween for weeks and was so excited to wear her Sleeping Beauty costume to trunk or treat last week. She got plenty of treats there. Her preschool had a Halloween party yesterday and Grace came home with another bag full of treats. Last night I took her out while Carl and "Hot Dog" aka Bandit handed out candy. Grace was no trick or treat wuss. She walked two neighborhoods, went to houses with scary noises and lights, and said trick or treat and thank you at every house. I finally had to tell her that there were no more trick or treat houses left! On this trip Grace obtained so much candy and goodies that the handles on her nylon pumpkin bag were hanging on by two bits of thread! Oh and I forgot to mention that Grace and I stopped by Walmart yesterday and they were handing out huge handfulls of candy at the entrance and exit!
Carl and I dumped all the treats from the past week into my largest mixing bowl. There is a year supply of candy there! We have made plans to donate a large portion to the missionaries as there is no way we could eat all that candy, Whew. Next week is Grace's birthday (more treats).
Carl's parents, sister and brother in law are coming up for a visit this weekend. Ron, Carl's brother in law just got back from Iraq. We haven't seen Becky and Ron in over a year!
This is pretty short. It's late but I just wanted to say Howdy All!
PS. This is a picture of Grace at Trunk or Treat and Nat and Mike's visit.
