Almost Halloween

Last week Emma went a birthday party for Pierce. She was very excited to get cake but wouln't eat any! She got a goodie bag to bring home which she has enjoyed very much. There were some sweettarts in there and she put one in her mouth and ate it, then looked at me a said "Oh! These make juice in your mouth! Want one? Say please!"

Yesterday she stayed with Julie for an hour or so while I went to the doctor in Newport News. She and Olivia played and when I got back we all had pizza that Chris brought home. Thanks Julie and Chris! The doctor is going to order several tests but basically told me that this pregnancy is considered risky and to take it easy, especially the last three months (rest 16/24 hours). He told me a bunch of other stuff, too but that's the short version. I will be Christmas shopping online and getting a lot of people gift cards this year. Shopping is strenuous work, especially with a two year old!

Our home computer died so I got a laptop. I haven't taken it out of the box yet but am looking forward to getting our house set up with the wireless connection. I am still hoping we can save the information off our old one.

We have been talking to Emma about Halloween, and what trick-or-treating is and how to do it. She tells us that she is going to bring Daddy some big boy candy. When I asked her what big boy candy is, she says "the black ones." I just can't make this stuff up.
