We are so sorry for the lack of posts, but October was a very busy and hard month for us. October started off pretty well. Daddy was doing well at work, and Mommy started to get very busy. Luckily for all of us Nana was here to help us out. In mid-October we traveled to Austin for the weekend to visit with Aunt Jolie, Uncle Mike, Memaw, and Pawpaw. Not only did we enjoy seeing all of them, but we got to go for a ride on THOMAS THE TRAIN!!!! Unfortunately for William, that day marked the beginning of a very long week of being sick. Despite not feeling great, William still enjoyed his day with Thomas. He really enjoyed spending time with his Aunt Jolie or JoGi as he calls her.

We thought we were having a rough week with William being sick, but it was even harder :-( Mommy's dear grandmother Nanny was put in the hospital and passed away on October 14th. It has been very hard on everyone, but Mommy really misses her grandmother. Nana just arrived back this weekend from getting everything settled with Tia in Iowa. Luckily, Mommy was able to fly up to Iowa to be with family and help Nana and Tia. Here is a link to Nanny's obituary which has a very lovely picture of her. Nanny's service was beautiful and it was everything she would have wanted. Yesterday Mommy saw this quote at a store and immediately reminded her of Nanny. It sounded like something she would say to Mommy during some of their talks.
“Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." (Christopher Robin to Pooh Bear)
Yesterday was Halloween, and we had a wonderful day. After Nana arrived we watched "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown." and had popcorn. Then Mommy made "Mummy Dogs", homemade mac and cheese, and green beans for dinner. After dinner we put William in his engineer costume (minus the handkerchief) and waited for our friends to come and trick or treat with us. This was the first Halloween that William was very excited about the festivities. He did such a great job, and really wasn't frightened by much. We decided that next year he should dress as a cat burglar because he kept walking into people's homes. Such a silly little man! He had a great time trick or treating with his new BFF Jeremiah (our next door neighbor about 3 months younger than him) and Lucas. Here are a few pics taken of our little man. A big thank you to Nana for handing out candy while we took Will out!!!!!

Trick or Treating
Today Mommy and Daddy are going to spend some time together this afternoon celebrating Daddy's birthday tomorrow.
Look for more updates this week and month!
Hugs to all,
The Tates
