Happy Halloween 2009

We did not think this was going to happen this year due to sickness (of all of us, and particularly Alec) but it all came together at the last minute. Alec declared his desire to be a pirate at the 11th hour (proving me very wise indeed, to have a pirate costume at the ready, just hanging in the closet with no where to go) and was satisfied to visit just a few houses. Perhaps best of all, he was a very enthusiastic sharer of candy, offering us all something from his bag, with the pride one only experiences from "bringing home the bacon". Happy Halloween to all!
