We took Emma Grace trick or treating tonight, and she had a fun time. We also took Lizzy with us, and she seemed to enjoy it. We went to Boo on Main Street in Winnsboro. Emma Grace was a ladybug, and Lizzy was a princess. I am sure Wes will be posting photos soon. Emma Grace was so busy watching all the people that she wasn't too worried about the candy. There was a clown at the Princess Theatre, and she wouldn't take her eyes off of her. She wasn't scared just in a daze. I guess that was her first time to see a clown. We did see one at the Boardwalk in Shreveport a couple of weekends ago, but I don't think she got a good look at it. After we left Winnsboro, we went to Aunt Delayne and Uncle Jarrell's house. We were headed to Jarrod and Deanna's, but she brought her brother, Alex, over to Delayne's. We then headed to Uncle Roy's house, but he wasn't home, so we visited with Ms. Elaine and Mr. Ronnie. By the time we got home, Emma Grace was exhausted. I gave her a bath. Wes gave her a bottle and she was OUT before 9. She is usually up until at least 11 or later. Trick or treating was hard work.

She has started walking really well. She is still a little wobbly, but she can get it going. However, if she wants to get there fast, she turns to crawling. She loves climbing, especially the rocker. We have had to turn it around against the wall so she cannot get into it. She also attempts to climb her baby gates. Don't know what we will do when she conquers that. She still loves watching Barney. Her face lights up and her whole body moves when she hears that music start up. She is so much fun, and growing up so fast.

Amber is doing lots better. She is still in New Orleans, and will be there for another three weeks. She can talk better, but it is still a whisper. She has a cast on her right leg, but she can stand on her left. We are thinking about going down to see her this weekend.

Wes has to go to Tampa week after next. I am trying to decide if I want to go. Well, I want to go, but just don't know about riding that far. If I do go, we will take Emma Grace to a few Disney parks and to Sea World. Tampa is only about an hour and a half from Orlando. If I don't go, he will fly.

Well, I guess that is all for now. Please continue to pray for Amber and her family
