Last Friday was my church's Halloween Trick or Treat party. We had fun dressing up and going door to door getting lots of candy, which Devon and I ended up eating cause Alex's not into the sweet stuff yet. Today is Halloween. I've never really been into Halloween, but now that I have Alex it makes it more fun. Tuesday Alex and I both had the flu. Luckily we are feeling better and are now ready for some Trick or Treating fun and maybe some scary movies tonight when the kid is a sleep. Does anyone have any Halloween traditons? Just thought I'd get some ideas. We drove around for about a hour an a half to a few houses to get some candy, that was about all Alex would allow then he wanted to go home plus Devon had to go to work. He is now working the night shift 10pm to 6am. He likes it cause he's a night owl . It's nice to have him home in the daytime so we can go do things around town if we want to.
During the week we stay pretty busy. Mondays I take Alex to Occupational Therapy, Tuesday is Physical Therapy and Thursday Speech Therapy. Last week we took Alex to a Genetic Doctor so he could get some blood drawn. They wanted to check his chromosomes to see if theres anything that might be causing Alex's slow development delay. We havent gotten the results back yet but will be sure to keep everyone updated when we find out more. Alex's Developmental Specialist also wants our little boy to have a couple other tests done like a MRI and a EEG, to check to see if he might be having unknown seizures that also could cause a developmental delay but we havent scheduled those yet. I feel bad to have to put Alex through all these things but hopefully it will help him progress in things he should be doing now. Alex is 19 months old and the doctors say he is at a 7 month level.

we dont do too much on the 31st. this year we went just to our families homes. joel is still little. i didnt know about alex. poor little guy. we will remember you guys in our fast tomorrow.
Hey, Em, Mary Freeze here. I finally went onto your blog -- great job. I always view Jen and Jon's, but now I am adding yours to the mix. Alex will be fine -- you are a great Mom and even if there are problems, prayers and blessings always help, if not physically, but emotionally. Remember to have Devon give him a blessing. He is a beautiful little boy and no matter what, he will always love you unconditionally.
Nate just had a very good friends die about two weeks ago -- very good time to discuss the plan of salvation again. Hard concept when you bury your 16 year old friend, but we know this will pass quickly and memories will take the space of sadness.
Take care. Love you guys and hope to see you at the reunion next year.
