Halloween Special

I promised a Halloween special. I never said it would come out on Halloween.

Micah's first Halloween was pretty uneventful. We started out going to Pop's house. We stayed for about 15 minutes and then we headed to Great-granddaddy's house. There was a quick stop at Sonic for a route 44 peach tea and a order of tots. At great-granddaddy's Micah and Nathan showed off.
I forgot to let you know about costumes. Micah was a Jack o lantern and Nathan was a farmer. Back to the story.
Micah grabbed hold of Great granddadd's walker and started dancing (shaking his booty and moving his head) to country music. Kathy would be so proud.
After great granddaddy's we went to Mark's mom and dad (grandma and grandad Carlton). Micah did not make it, he was sound asleep when we got there. We left him in the car ( I was out there too). That was about it. Not really exciting.



Since then Micah has had a nose like Niagra Falls. I know some of you readers are snot sensitive so you may want to to skip the rest of this paragraph. Micah would wake up during the middle of the night in a pool of his own snot. I promise I did everything I could to avoid this. I would use the suction bulb every hour or so, which Micah hates. Those of you who wonder if Micah ever screams... try using the nose sucker. Last night Janet found the most amazing invention in Toys R Us. A nose vacuum!!! It sucks the snot out and stores it in this little cup. It is so gross. I love it. It really works good if I do it while Micah is drinking his bottle.
Ok enough snot talk. You other readers can come back now. P.S. Snot can be a hair gel in a pinch.
Other than that life is pretty routine. Micah is being dedicated at church on Sunday. (All are welcome to come. It will be at Harvest View Church (harvestviewchurch.org). I am doing it this Sunday because Next Wednesday is Kathy's 27th birthday. I alway pride myself on getting Kathy great (sometimes too expensive) gifts for her birthday. So I was thinking what could I do for her since she is already in paradise. The only thing I had to give that would make her happy is the last thing she gave me. So I am bringing Micah to church to dedicate him to God, that God's will for his Life be above all others. I don't know if you have ever been to a baby dedication but usually the congregation also dedicates to helping the child grow toward God. A lot of you already do this by praying for him and me. Thanks. I will try my best to raise Micah to be a strong Christian leader who fully relies on God.
Well, another long post. You would have thought I would have learned my lesson last time. I will try to improve. As always Love, Love, and if you still have extra time, love some more. There are people out there who don't get enough love as it is. Find them and love them too.

Thanks for the warning on the snot. Unfortunately, I still read it. I don't respond well to direct instructions.

You didn't even mention the pumpkin booties! Adorable boy!

Nathan... I'm glad you didn't leave out any gross details. Micah looked so cute in his little jack o lantern outfit. I can't believe that Nathan or Micah didn't dress up as a UT football player... Anyways thanks for giving us an update.

We Love you TWO!
