First time we have ever taken our kids trick or treating on Halloween night! Always seems backwards to take them and then take their candy away since they can't eat it...thankfully they still have fun dressing up and grandma came through with lopro cupcakes! #pku

It was an eventful night at small group tonight...trip to the ER for our friend's little guy (everything is okay)...but clearly Zay couldn't keep up with all the action!

I'm slowly learning that so many of the unfortunate situations that I imagined would happen when Zay was born with PKU are in fact happening. Today Zay's snack was accidentally forgotten on his school field trip. I'm also learning that God is SO perfect...He blessed my kiddos with patience, understanding and discipline! He knew just what characteristics they would need to handle their challenges. I'm so proud to watch Zay respond with an "It's okay" when he learned his snack was forgotten. While a lot of kids might find it difficult to be denied a snack, both Zay and Ellie didn't make any complaints as we waited while everyone else had their crackers and milk. And another blessing...that I was along to see it happen! I'm so grateful that I have the privilege to go on the field trip...and that next time I'll be prepared with a backup snack in the car! :) #pku
