A Pic a Day – October

October 31

Micah the Elephant — It was hard to choose a picture today amongst all the cute pictures to choose from. But I think I like this one the best. Micah was an Elephant for Halloween this year. He was SO cute. I think this picture captures his confusion about what we were doing to him. I love this little guy.
