Charlotte asked me almost every single day in October if it was Halloween yet. She was so excited to dress up and trick or treat! Nana came out for the week and Charlotte was on cloud nine! Nana seems to be the center of Charlotte's universe! They do everything together and Charlotte and Acey get so spoiled. Our week consisted of watching Home Alone, eating french fries, and ice cream sundaes. lol Papa flew out on Friday and we had a big sleep over at our house. Caden, Cooper, and Cate spent the night. Ace was in heaven playing with his boy cousins! Then the next day we went to the pumpkin patch. We were having so much fun. A little while after we arrived I looked down and didn't see Ace. I yelled to everyone where is Ace? Everyone started looking and he was no where in sight. I ran over to the Train ride area and there he was. Trying to get on the train you had to pay for all by himself. lol There was not turning away at this point. He had to ride it. So we paid for him and let him ride. He was so happy. This by far was the
best part of his day!
This was such a fun pumpkin patch!
Charlotte got to touch baby chicks, pigs, goats, sheep, and make corn angels!
Ace was copying Cooper and got corn all over his lollipop! lol 
On our way back from the pumpkin patch Charlotte got sick in Auntie Cams car and we had to pull over, get some medicine and take her home. I felt terrible that she didn't get to wear her costume, trick or treat, or even say goodbye to Nana and Papa. We were stuck in the house the rest of the week with the flu! Auntie Cam suggested we have the kids dress up on Thanksgiving and do treasure hunt for candy. So that's what we are planning on doing to make up for Halloween!
We also have fantastic news to share!
Jack found a grant through United Health Care Children's Foundation. We applied last month and have been praying about it ever since! Yesterday I received a package in the mail. I opened it up and saw a cute teddy bear with a big thick envelope. When I saw it I knew exactly what it was! It was the answer to our prayers! Ace was granted 5,000 dollars to be applied towards his Applied Behavior Analysis Therapy! We are so excited and feel so blessed. Thank you so much to United Health Care for understanding how much ABA can help children with Autism.
