Maybe I have too old of a program. This window does not have the picture icon. I'll keep trying.

Toddler bed update: For about 3-4 weeks, Isaac has been sleeping in a toddler bed. The adjustment for the first few nights was hard. He fell out of bed all through the night for a couple of days. Now things are just fine. He doesn't fall out anymore, and he can climb in and out. He's getting to be so independent! Just tonight, he sat with us for the first time in a real chair at dinner. He felt like such a big boy. I'm not quite ready for that, though. We need a booster. Maybe it will make a good Christmas gift.

Halloween bad news... Two weeks before Halloween we got a lovely surprise, Isaac is allergic to peanuts! How could this be?! Well, we're not sure how it happened, but now we know what happens! After an evening in the emergency room and quite a good scare, we're beginning to cope with the lifestyle changes that have to happen with a peanut allergy. Restaraunts often use peanuts or peanut oil in some form, thus we always need to ask. Further, trick-or-treating is now off-limits! Nearly all candy has peanuts in it (at least the kinds most people give out at Halloween). We have a really good handbook, and several Epipens now. It all happened so quick when Isaac reacted. Literally, 5-7 minutes, tops. Isaac was puffy for nearly a week just from peanut butter touching his lips and face. Luckily he didn't like it. We rushed to the ER and all was well in a couple of hours. I'm sure glad it happened to us and not anyone else because it was scary.
On a lighter note, F3 at church is going well. I really enjoy the 5th and 6th graders in the class I am teaching. My attendance has been pretty good; 10-15 kids every week. The lessons are from the Group series, and they are really good. It's great to share my faith with these kids! They are thoughtful and they take class seriously (most of the time).
Small group is going well, too. The group we have joined is made up of about 5 other couples. Starting this Friday, we are going to start meeting on Friday nights, rather than Sunday afternoons. I'm looking forward to it. The group is an answer to prayer.
My grandpa was 85 on Sunday. He's still doing really well, health-wise. It was fun to celebrate with him!
Isaac's hair is curly! We are waiting to cut it until after we visit NY in a week. I wish I knew how to post pictures!
That's this month's news!
