There are so many reasons I hold Jonathan near and dear to my heart. Here's just one example:
Since we are church planting, our food budget is limited to only the necessities. On occasion I will pick up a few treats but it just depends. On our last shopping trip Andrew was asking for chips. I went to get him some generic brand of chips but he wanted Doritos. Doritos are not affordable, so I got the generic brand, praying that they would be good. As it turn out, I like them better than Doritos because there are a lot more of those chips with extra spices.
Yesterday during lunch, I was watching Jonathan picking through his chips to find the ones with extra spice. It just melted my heart. Andrew on the other hand, gave those to me because he said they were too spicy. Jonathan also ate my Bojangles, extra seasoning, fries without missing a beat. He also likes to dip his chips in salsa. He is one spicy meatball.

Halloween
For the first time in our family history, the boys went trick or treating (TOT). We were told that our street was very busy with trick or treaters, and they were right. Chris stayed home and manned the door and I took the boys TOT. He said there was a steady flow of kids for 2 hours. We took the opportunity to drop invitation cards into each TOT bag to come to our kids ministry.
Meanwhile, the boys and I went up and down our street for candy. Then we piled in the car and I took them to a local churches Halloween festival. It was fun but Jonathan was getting bored being in his stroller and wanted to action of his own. We piled back into the car and headed to where all the action is in our little town. Let me tell you, I have never seen anything like this before. Rows and rows of TOTs as far as the eye can see, spooky houses, spooky costumes, and spooky because by this time it was dark out. It was a lot of work for very little candy. Next year we will probably venture down another street.
Jonathan in his super cute Superman costume. It also doubles as his pjs, once the cape is removed.

Just one more picture before we go...

Andrew giving the thumbs up that he is going to get some candy.
Jonathan wondering if brother is going to remember to get him some candy too.
Since Halloween Jonathan has improved his vocab to include 3 more words:
andy (candy)
uker (sucker)
tooti (cookie)
