October Fun!

October was very eventful for the Mills crew. Shadrack turned 18 months old on the 19th. On the 20th he had to go to the doctor for his well check and had to get shots. Katie and Steven ended up getting their flu vaccine that day also. Steve and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary on the 25th by taking the kids to Trunk-or-Treat at church. We had lots of fun and Steve won a prize for his decorating skills. He had a very spooky trunk.
In the middle of all this activity, I found out I was pregnant but within the week I had a miscarriage. I was at least 6 weeks along. We were sad but we know that our Heavenly Father has a plan for us. We don't always understand it but we have faith in Him that he knows what's best for us. He may still have in store for us a baby brother or sister for Shadrack. Who knows! I have had a miscarriage before each of my other successful pregnancies. I pray that another little one is in the plan for us but let His will be done and not mine.
OK, back to the October fun. On Halloween we loaded up the kids and went to Victor and Tiffany's for some trick-or-treating. We had a great time. Thanks to Vic & Tiff for having us! Shad really had a great time, once he figured out what was going on. It was so hard for him not to sit right down in front of every door to eat the candy. He was a cute little monkey which really suited him because we tell him he's a monkey every day because he's constantly climbing on everything. Everyone had a terrific time. Especially the kids when it was time to go through the loot! Here are some pictures of our fun. Hope you enjoy viewing the pictures. We sure had a great time making them.
