Father's Day Baptism

Wes recently made the awesome decision to be baptized.  It was a really special day for a number of reasons.  First, the fact that he was being baptized.  Second, because it was on Father's Day. Third, because he decided to include our entire Small Group... this one's kind of a big deal because Wes is an extremely private person. And, finally, because the person that baptized him was our own pastor, Daniel Foster.  It was quite an honor because this was Daniel's very last day as our pastor!  We are so, so sad to see him go, but we're so excited for him and his wife, Anita on his new role within the church.  Anyway, it was a beautiful day and we're all so happy for Wes.









HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Introducing MadiIyn Weslie

I had the honor of being asked to be in the delivery room when my new neice was born yesterday.  What an amazing privilege!  Tiffany did a fantastic job.  She started labor at about 9 p.m. on the 21st and delivered her newest baby girl at 2:23 on the 22nd.  It just so happens that it was the same day as Lauren's (her two year old) birthday!

The Story Behind the Photo

Woke up on Saturday... in a rush as usual... totally dreary, rainy, gray day... off to the theatre to see 'The Secret Garden' and from there on to a baby shower and two graduation parties!  Busy day, right?  Luke's down to one pair of ratty old sneakers which, as I am walking by the back door, I notice seem to have been left out in the rain all-night-long.  I'm ready to freak out on him because he literally has no other shoes to put on except for his baseball cleats, so he ends up wearing his sister's zebra print flip-flops to the theatre (which I must say he was a little too comfortable with!).  Anyway, I refuse to buy more sneakers at this point in the year because he only lives in crocs during the summer, so in between the theatre and the baby shower we have to run to the mall to finally purchase his summer footwear.  Not my favorite place to be on a rainy Saturday, but the mall it had to be because the color of choice this year is orange and not everyone carries this awesome color!  Anyway, that's the story behind the photo...

Baseball Highlights

Tonight was Luke's second to the last baseball game and his finger was healed enough for him to go up to bat.  He didn't get a hit, but he took some good swings.
Teddy and Poppy had a ball at the park. 
I was snack mom tonight... Luke requested baseball cookies!
