Hey Everyone!
I wanted to pass along the latest news...
Eli's doctor called last night and informed us that his kidney functions have decreased rapidly from his last appointment. (5 weeks ago) He told us he needed to come to the hospital today. He is being admitted to Banner Baywood Hospital when they get there this afternoon. He will be having surgery first thing in the morning. They are putting in a catheter near his belly button. He will be needing dialysis within a month, he has to have the catheter in for at least two weeks before he starts dialysis. They need to watch it closely for infection. He will be doing dialysis at home. We are going to get his little station set up and get going! We are hoping that this transplant will take place soon.

Becca waiting very patiently for the candy! No, she is not trying to look through the window to hurry this process up!


They are ready for the massive crowd of trick or treaters... How can these two be scary?


Here is Grayson and his buddy getting ready for their evening. Becca is always there to add a little sparkle :)

Becca is quite the little "Diva"! She told everyone she was the "Mini Madonna" She said they didn't know what she was talking about??? ha ha I don't know why her friends don't know who that is? Can you tell she likes to listen to the 80's with her mom?

The finished product!
(Connie and Sam- I haven't found a spot for those pictures I had to have :) )


Grayson has taken over the drilling... watch out!

Becca is trying out the heavy machinery! Look at her concentration!


Out comes the drill! Gregg's favorite way to carve a pumpkin. I think he saw this in a magazine years ago. The pumpkin looks cute when it's full of holes with the light shining through.

Well, here we have Grayson helping clean out the pumpkin while Becca is performing... shocker!
