Its Not Just About Candy

Sure, this is Cadence's first Halloween, but I couldn't really justify dressing up a 3 week old in a costume.... that being said, she'll wear an orange "my first Halloween" onesie later, pictures to follow....

I couldn't let the day go by without aknowledging that this is the one year anniversary of Officer Timothy Brenton's brutal murder. For me, this horrific event last year was one of my first challenges as a police officer's wife. Sure, Halloween is fun for kids and adults who like to got dressed up and get candy, but after last year, this holiday is far scarier. Pun intended.

In the midst of what will likely be a day of last minute candy buying, costume fixes, and house cleaning, I'd encourage everyone to remember our law enforcement officers, not just those who have lost their lives, but  the men and women who wear the kevlar each day.

As I've said before, I'm beyond proud of my husband and our friends who have become our family.

Officer Brenton: Gone but not forgotten.
