Halloween 2011 (Part 2)

 This year on Halloween we celebrated with the girls from my Bible study, their hubbys and their cute kiddos in costume.

My little Owl Baby

pout pout, little Owl

Pot-Luck tasty treats. Shared by Little Owl and Tinkerbell. 

Besties.

 

Bryan and I actually dressed up too. 

I was a Starbucks Barista. Hah! We had the stuff, why not!

Bryan was a Liberal Arts Professor at a secular University. 

you may have to be into philosophy and attend a conservative academic establishment to appreciate that one.

And....if that costume didn't pay off for Bryan he could also double as an Acts29 Church Planter. Hah! What? You know its true.

Now here are the BEST pictures of the evening! All our precious little ones in costume!

So cute!

Here are the babies who are about to celebrate their FIRST Birthday's!!

Lydia, Jesse and Griffin!

Jonah, a sock monkey and Lawson, a Lion! 

Me and my sweet Bethany!

Bethany and Jon decided to go as Jordan and AJ (two of our other friends)...which was actually hilarious and pretty obvious. Jordan is Gluten Free, hence Bethany's shirt. You'll see in a later picture, Jordan in Bethany's adoption shirt! And of course the boys are both big college sports fans. Jon a die-hard UK fan, hes a good man. And AJ a die-hard Florida fan, we pray for him. Hah!
So the guys wore each others favorite team garb!!

Their costumes were great!

Our Family of 3

Me and my Peanut Owl

Jordan, as Bethany.

Luke, as the cutest Cowboy, ever!!

 Michael and Samantha as Pirate and Lumber-jack

 This was a very fun Halloween. Laid back and comfortable; hanging out with people we do life with.
These people have been a blessing to us. We have lived the past 3+ years with most of them. We have seen the majority of us go from couples to couples with kids, two kids, twins and babies on the way. It really is amazing to experience so much with a group of people the Lord brings into your life for a short season! But what a rich season it has been!

I am super thankful for these woman, their love, support, prayers, wisdom and truth. These years will forever be a treasure for both Bryan and I. We will never forget our time at Southern Seminary and Immanuel Baptist Church and mainly because of the great Body of Christ He has planted us in. May we be found as Oaks of Righteousness.

Psalm 1
Blessed is the man
        who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
    nor stands in the way of sinners,
        nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
    but his delight is in the law of the LORD,
        and on his law he meditates day and night.
    He is like a tree
        planted by streams of water
    that yields its fruit in its season,
        and its leaf does not wither.
    In all that he does, he prospers.
    The wicked are not so,
        but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
    Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
        nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
    for the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
        but the way of the wicked will perish.
