just another halloween post

Enjoy the Halloween pics! Daniel decided to join the Dark Side. Maybe Anna decided we needed good to balance out the evil - she is Violet from The Incredibles. :) We had a great time hanging with neighbors and enjoying chili before trick or treating. GO Manor!!
 
 
 
 

Soccer girl

 

Anna started soccer this fall. She's having fun socially, but is not really enjoying the whole team sport side of it. She's definitely her momma's girl! Here is the girl half of her wonderful co-ed team - Anna with cousin Ellie and Peyton Travis. The boy half of our Longhorn team is Jack, Cole Richardson, and Caleb Kloubec. And we love Coach Aaron - he's a great coach!

Ivey is here!

Ivey Grace Peck is here! She arrived on Friday afternoon, 7 pounds, 14 ounces, 20.5 inches. She is beautiful and healthy and has all 10 fingers and 10 toes. I can't seem to get enough time with her - Anna asks to hold her constantly. Anna loves her baby cousin and was very protective of her as the nurse performed a hearing test on her. She stood as close as possible to her and watched that nurse with her famous Anna-stare-of-death to make sure nothing would harm sweet Ivey. Leslie is doing great and looks wonderful! We're looking forward to them coming home from the hospital for some uninterrupted hang time.

The album below also includes some birthday photos from Dad's birthday, which was Oct 4th. It's fun to have back-to-back birthdays!

and the walls came tum-ba-lin down!

 

Today is a big day for the Austin Stone Community Church! The site for our future new church facility is finally getting cleared of the old American Inn/Chariot Inn! This demolition has been a long time coming and will remove an eyesore from the I-35 frontage road. So, today we mark the changing of the physical landscape of the St. John's neighborhood here in Austin. please pray for us as we continue to change the entire landscape of St. John's for the sake of the gospel: what is seen and what is unseen!

for moms with little girls

Just found a great product, moms! My next door neighbor pointed me to Sassy*Bows (www.mysassybows.com). The basic Keely bow is $2 and comes in great colors with a wonderful no-slip alligator clip. Shipping was $3 for priority mail. What a deal!!!
