Happy Halloween!

Update:  Jonah’s first “active” Halloween was good.  We went to “Trunk or Treat” at our church.  Jonah wandered around playing with a cool pumpkin flashlight his aunt Zina had given him (pretty much equivalent to gold in my book!).  He wasn’t much for the actual trick or treating, but he was happy to say “bye-bye” [...]
