Lately with the Powells

We've had a great couple months with Youth Group, family adventures, YoungLife, football, small groups, and a trip to Minneapolis for our Reign Ministries staff conference. Alice is 2.5 years and Mitch is 9 months old. They keep us on our toes and laughing. Alice is getting excited for Halloween and Mitch is excited about.... food and playing with his sister. It's still hot in Mississippi, so we're ready for Fall weather! Here's what we've been up to....
