New Car!!!



I finally got a new car!!! After a long week of researching and meeting with rude salesmen, I finally found the car I wanted. It's a 2006 Chevy Equinox. I'm in love!!!! I was very sad when they drove off in my Stratus, but after 4 years and 143,000 miles it was time.

My Sassafrass (Sassy Shay)

I found out last night that Shay has a skin disease she will have to deal with for the rest of her life. The poor thing has a condition where her hair falls out. Erika and Jeremy are still researching it but as of right now the doctor said it can't be treated and no one knows how much hair she will lose. Right now she has a spot on top of her head the size of a half dollar that is completely bald. The doctor said it could be just this one spot she has to deal with or it could spread to different spots on her head. the worst case would be total hair loss. She tried to hide it from kids at school but it's hard. Yesterday she wore her sunglasses on her head like a headband to cover it up. My sister's worried that the kids at school aren't going to understand and will make fun of her. Shay's a tough cookie but she's upset enough already.

Halloween



Bill had the idea to dress up like Slash from Guns 'n Roses and I was his groupie girlfriend. I didn't take him serious so I was rushing around putting my costume together two days before Halloween. He did a great job on his costume and looked adorable. We didn't win the costume contest but we had a great time anyway.

I don't have any pictures of any of my babies in costume yet. Shay was a witch, Deacon was a motorcycle dude, Sam was Elmo, John was a tiger and Lilie was a pumpkin. They were all adorable. When and if anyone shares the pictures with me I will post them.
