October 2014

October went by in a blur. We were so busy that our seat belts barely had time to reel back in before we pulled them out again and hit and road.

Here is a quick picture of this past month's events:
- Soccer for Eli was twice a week until tournaments. He had a blast and is already talking about next season.
- We continued to have small group on Wednesdays and had the privilege of hosting once this month. It is always fun to see how many people we can fit around our table!
- We enjoyed a wonderful visit with Grandma and Grandpa Rice. It was so much fun to make pear sauce, play-doh, and new memories.
- Eli was baptized and Jeff had the privilege of doing the dunking. What an absolutely precious event!
- Co-op classes continued until presentation night at the end of the month. Both boys had so much fun and learned many new things. It is nice to learn with friends!
- Jeff had two nights of parent/teacher conferences. He met several new parents and enjoyed a visit or two with those of previous students.
- Marie FINALLY got her hearing aids. It has been a whole new adventure for us all. She is saying many new sounds and is drawn to anything that makes noise.
- Mommy and Daddy continue to attend BSF (on separate days). They are studying Moses as is Thad, Marie, and Ava. Eli continues to attend ASK, his Monday afternoon, Bible Study.
- Daddy got a new truck! His old car is on its last leg and we were presented with an opportunity to upgrade a little. He has always wanted a truck!
- Mommy got to go on a Women's Retreat. The weather was beautiful and the fellowship was great. Daddy did awesome with the kiddos while she was away.
- Mommy and Daddy attended a costume party at one locale while Thad and Eli attended one in another place. Fun was had by all and many laughs!
- We also continued our Sunday night family ministry at church. This month we learned about creativity and how we are God's handiwork.
- We attended a Halloween party/birthday party for Eli. It was fun to be with friends to celebrate and also get to dress up. It doesn't get much better than that!

We hope your October was as blessed as ours. Enjoy the pictures!
