A TRICK and a TREAT

Happy Halloween! I started the day babysitting for my grandson, Keegan, who will be dressing up as Sir Topham Hatt of "Thomas the Train" fame. Grandma Denise made the costume and it's perfect. Keegan practiced saying "trick or treat" over and over again, and also commenting that "Thomas is a very useful engine," which is what Sir Topham Hatt says. His mom and dad came back from a doctor's appointment to pick him up and when they arrived, Emilie said, "We have a trick for you on Halloween." For the past month, our family has been preparing for another baby boy to arrive next March. The trick is that now the doc is 99.9% sure it's a GIRL - and we are delighted! Keegan is a bit confused, but he'll get used to the idea. What a treat it will be to have a granddaughter!
