Election Day Off = Halloween Weekend Recap

Gwinnett County gave us the day off for Election Day today so I figured I'd use the opportunity to upload my photos from this weekend to share with you. Enjoy....

A happy boy on Game Day

 All decked out in Halloween gear, and split between Georgia and Florida!

 Opening his present from Aunt Kara and Aunt Christine!

 A house divided!

...but we still love each other!

 Trying water out of a sippy cup for the first time.

Halloween Night. An angel and a skeleton.

 Going trick-or-treating in the wagon....like big boys!

 A witch and a ghost answered the door!



 All tuckered out after eating all that sugar.

Just kidding. :)

....And go vote!!!

I Had a Dream

I had a dream last night that Hudson and I were on a jet and, for some reason, in order to protect Hudson or save him, I had to put him in a pod and eject him from the plane while we were over the ocean. I knew that by doing so he had the best chance of survival, but it was nearly impossible to do. As I watched the pod with my baby in it plummet toward the ocean, I thought about how crazy it was that I was putting his safety in the "hands" of that pod and fate, but that I had to have faith that what I was doing was going to save him.

When I left Hudson at Open Arms, his daycare (or school as I'm calling it), for the first time this morning, I felt the familiar feeling that I'd felt during my dream. I know that he'll do great at school and that he's going to learn so much and make friends, but it goes against my motherly instinct and every. bone. in. my. body. to leave him in the care of people who don't know him (no matter how sweet and caring they are--and Miss Angela and Miss Erika certainly are), love him and would die for him.

But I have faith. I have faith that God has him there for a reason. And I know that He loves him even more than I do.....even if that seems impossible. :)

Bright and early before school...too excited to eat!

 On our way!

Playing at school the moment we arrived...there are so many more toys than at home!
