Celebrating halloween with the most beautiful young lady is a special treat even though she did not appreciate the catepillar costume. A great deal of appreciation was accorded to the carved pumpkins placed on the porch. I must say the pumpkin located on the left closest to the door exhibits a great deal of flair for the artistic. While modesty forbids me from identifying the creator of this work of art I must say it was an enjoyable evening carving pumpkins to help Audrey celebrate her first halloween.
The time spent with Jason's newly expanded family was a warm, fulfilling experience as we watched him interact with his wife and daughter. To see him engage in parenting, as we have watched our oldest son, Tom, do so in the past is to feel fulfillment that the torch is being ably passed to a new generation. The optimism and hope for the future is the true gift we can offer to our children. The mounds of plastic and simulated wood pale in comparison to this gift of future.
Special events come and go. Hope and optimism can be part of the core that lasts forever.
