Fall-a-Palooza

Each year on Oct. 31st, our church hosts Fall-a-Palooza. It has gotten increasingly exciting each year since Joshua was born. The first year he rode around in his stroller, last year he walked around not very excited about anything, and this year he actually participated in games and loved the bounce house! Gabe was a lot of fun too! All of the grandparents came up to enjoy the boys, so it was alot of fun. Peter and I also had our student ministry fall retreat that weekend, so they all watched and entertained the boys. I can't believe that I have not posted any of their cute pictures yet, so here they are.

Yes, he could be the next Tiger Woods!


















Joshua was the cutest construction worker around! He even won 3rd place in the costume contest for the preschool category.


















Joshua and I were construction workers, and Peter & Gabe were...























...tandem skydivers!























You can see their costume a little better in this picture...

Sam & Miles have arrived!

My sweet friend, Kristin, had her twinadoes (as she calls them) on Sunday afternoon. We were able to visit her after she went into the recovery room, and then spent some time with her this morning. She will be posting pictures soon, so check her blog for all of the sweet pictures. Because they were born at 34 weeks, they will have to spend some time in the NICU. As you can imagine, no new mother wants to be separated from her babies, so this is very hard. Pray specifically that Kristin will have peace during this time, and that the babies will be able to maintain their body temperature and eat from a bottle consistently. Below are a few scriptures to pray over their family.

“Whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.” 1 John 3:22
Jesus, in Your Name we ask for quick healing for Sam and Miles, and believe that they will receive it. May your peace continually be with Todd and Kristin as they trust in You.

“…and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” James 5:16
Lord, many believers are calling to you today, and we trust that you hear and answer those prayers on behalf of Todd, Kristin, Laney, Sam & Miles.

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him! Matthew 7:11
Lord, as much as Todd & Kristin want to protect their boys and give them good gifts, please show them that your gifts are even greater…pour them out on the Lewis Family today.

“Your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily (for Sam & Miles), and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.” Isaiah 58:8
Lord, we ask that you would bring a speedy healing for Sam & Miles so that they may go home soon. Thank you that your righteousness and glory surrounds them.

“But to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings.” Malachi 4:2
Lord, we ask that you would arise today with healing in your wings…cover Sam and Miles with your protection and make them strong. Restore health to Kristin’s body as well so that she may be able to care for her precious family.

“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward.” Psalm 127:3
Lord, thank you for the incredible blessing of Sam & Miles! We pray that they would continue in the godly heritage of Todd & Kristin.
