Welcome Baby Peter!

We are excited to announce a new arrival in the Compton household!


Little Peter joined the family the first week of November (narrowly missing the all-important Halloween, on which day the kids solemnly forbid me to give birth).




Back at home, this little guy quickly became a favorite. The kids adore him, even little Annie.


He loves his binky

and sleeping!

He is growing really fast and is super strong, for a six-week-old. He can already lift his head and chest, doing a little "baby push-up," during tummy time.


In other news...
 We celebrated Sadie's 9th birthday (another day on which I was forbidden to have the baby)
This girl is getting so big and grown-up. What happened to my little girl!?


 Halloween at our house is always fun...






 We also celebrated Matt's birthday --in sackcloth and ashes, since it was the big 4-0.



  Right now, we're gearing up for Christmas. We already had our Christmas party at church



including a nativity that all the kids got to participate in. Sadie got to be Mary, which she was very excited about.

Michael, Sadie and Ada each did great at their Christmas piano recitals. Michael, especially, worked really hard on his pieces this year and it definitely showed.

Random cute pics:

Jojo fell asleep on the couch for an impromptu nap (which Never happens!) clutching his beloved light-saber.



Michael got to visit a local police station with his Webolos den.






The girls had fun dressing Annie up as a princess one evening. They play so sweetly together!
