Silly Clown, Princess lessons and Chonda Pierce

Sweet Cannon! We really do love you boy! I promise we weren't being mean to him by making him wear this wig. He kept it on the whole night for Trunk or Treat and then for dressing up at school he wore it for a while. He won't wear a hat to save his life but a wig~SURE! What a fun night we had with the kids at church. Oh yeah, by the way he is a WALKER!!!! FINALLY. I will post pictures of him upright soon. It is so fun to watch him try walking while holding things in his hands like a book or his cup. Now if he can figure out how to keep his balance AND suck his thumb we will be on the right track.

Gracelyn was such a cutie and had so much fun. I also have posted about the candy monster that has emerged from her. She is a psycho when it comes to candy. It really is so funny to watch her go bonkers for it. I am going on strike. As of tomorrow morning all candy will have magically disappeared. Ether we go ahead and pull all her teeth because they are rotten or we deal with a sad monster for a few hours. It's tough being a princess with a sweet tooth.
On a much different note, I went to see Chonda Pierce tonight with a group of ladies from church. She is just hilarious and I was very moved by her talk that she incorporated between the jokes. It was light hearted but deep at the same time. She really talked about depression and how it has effected her life and the loved ones surrounding her. Great analogies were given and we laughed a lot! Most importantly I got to laugh at and understand something that I always deemed sad and taboo to talk about. It was enlightening and powerful. Because my friend Teresa had helped with World Vision (I think that is what it is called) she got special tickets for us to go back and meet Chonda! A real encounter with a famous person. (I don't get out much)! It was fun to meet her and I got a hug to boot!

Lots of things going on this weekend so look for an exciting post in the next few days! I hope you will be waiting on the edge of your seats for the scoop!
