Jude and Marriage....

Well, last night we were walking around Costco (as all responsible Americans do on Sunday evening), and I was checking out the jewelry case with Jude. I thought it was a good time to explain to him that the sapphire ring on my right hand is his. I told him that his daddy gave it to me on the night he came out of my tummy, and since it's a girl's ring, he doesn't need to wear it. I told him I will wear it for him until one day when he picks a wife, then he can give it to her.

He thought for a minute and said, "But I want you to be the wife, though."

Ahhh..there are almost no better words that could come from a 2 1/2 year old boy! I told him I will gladly be his wife someday (I'm trusting he'll change his mind at some point).

Halloween...

Well, here are some pictures of Halloween, better late than never. And, in other news, Greta was two months old yesterday! She weighs 11 lbs 9 oz, and is 22 1/4 inches. She is healthy and we're so thankful for her. She's still recovering from her vaccines...wow...what a fit! She screamed for about 15 minutes afterward and only calmed down once we were out of the doctor's office and in the car. I guess she has a few opinions!

Jude's first jack-o-lantern.

Jude's friend Olivia, whom we call Olive, was an olive! They went trick-or-treating together.
