Big Weekend

I think I'm still recovering from our big Halloween Weekend. My parents and sister Hayley's family came up and it was so fun that Boston and Jack were able to Trick or Treat together. Boston was a darling little Monkey and Jack was very appropriately a "Jack-O-lantern." Hayley and her Husband Shawn even got in on the act. They were darling. My little darling was of course his original unique self. In the beginning he would get upset when we would go up to the doors of some of the familiar houses in the neighborhood. He would say "Hi" and proceed to pass up the candy to try and go play inside!! He couldn't understand why we weren't staying longer at his beloved neighbors houses!! Then at one point he picked up Jeremy and Molly's green watering can and decided that he wanted that as his trick or treat bag. He carried it with him everywhere. He makes me laugh so hard! A couple other highlights of the night were when I said "Boston get a treat and put it in your bag." and he proceeded to put his bag in a bowl of treats! He also loved the strobe lights and fog at Whitney's. He sat right in the middle of it on her porch and proclaimed "Sweet!" "Yeah" "Woah!" He is such a character but you can't help but love him. I am laughing hysterically as I write this and look back on the night.
We also blessed our sweet little Jocey girl this past Sunday. It was beautiful, she was darling, (although she screamed her head off during the entire thing. It's just her style.) and we of course had a houseful of supportive family. We have the greatest families who are always so supportive. I could have never pulled it off without my Mommy. Really I can't do much without her. She is simply the best and I always get emotional when she leaves.
On a down note, my poor sweet husband just can't catch a break these days. His beloved bike was stolen right out of our garage. It was like almost a $1350 bike. They also took his shoes. How creepy are some people out there. I thought we were safe living here and now I realize you have to be super careful everywhere. There is no Happy Valley. If any of you noticed anyone besides us go into our garage or if you happen to know who it is please let us know. JT has been through one trial after another these days and he so didn't deserve this. That bike was his one stress reliever and he planned on doing another triathlon in a couple weeks. I am beyond mad about this. I just can't believe how dishonest some people are. I'm glad we have our two sweet munchkins and pooch Snugs to keep us smiling.

we had a blast up there with you guys. I'm glad the boys were together for the holiday. I really am missing Jocy girl I'm glad we got some bonding time.

I too feel sick and mad about the bike. I hate when things like that happen. It makes me want to cry for him. I hope someone reads your post and brings it back, don't count on it but wouldn't that be great.
Love you guys, thanks again for letting us stay with you guys. Love ya all.
