Halloween has it's moments. I mean who doesn't enjoy free candy. But since Emilia was born the day has become so much more to us. Em was born on the 22nd of October, but she came home on the 31st.
Emilia was welcomed home on Halloween after a short nine day stay in the NICU.
She was the best "treat" we ever received!
As for the challenge, it's over! I'd like to thank everyone who posted this month. Whether it was every day or once a week, there were so many interesting and inspirational posts. I learned new things and met some new families. And hopefully we have opened some hearts and calmed some fears.
Well it's late and I'm tired from trick or treating. I'll end this post with pictures of our night.

ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween
What a great crew you have there and my oh my love the pumpkins! Great some much needed rest!
ReplyDeleteSo funny. I was JUST sitting here looking at old pictures from LC's first Halloween. :0) LC was born on the 10th and only spent 4 days in the NICU even though she had a scrambled little heart. She was a CHUNK and a happy muncher. On Halloween, LC got her feeding tube and was diagnosed as being in heart failure. I think Halloween walks are even sweeter when we think of missing out on that first one. :0) And, to think, somewhere one of our soon-to-be buddies was checking out while we were checking in. Happy Halloween Peanut Butter Pants!

ReplyDeleteLooks like you all had fun!
They look fantastic! What wonderful Halloween memories, too!
ReplyDeleteMy son and Daddy carved a nice pumpkin. They set it outside and put a candle in it. By morning the squirrels had eaten the whole front of it. They shredded the candle stub all over the porch. Now they are working on the two small pumpkins we put out with the big one.
