Family Pics

We recently had some family pics taken by a friend of Ben's from the sem. Here are some of my faves!

Update

As you can see from the pictures below, Wes is the new star of the show. Things are starting to slow down now that all the family has left and life is starting to somewhat settle into more of a routine. Wesley is doing really well and we're having so much fun with him. He is such an easy kid and very expressive. He is making so many noises now and really lets you know when he is not happy. Ben and I started our first rounds of interviews for job placements. We have one more before Christmas with just the seminary and then when we get back in January, we interview with potential churches. We are both so excited and anxious to see what God has in store for us. We're both just ready to settle in somewhere and plug into a community. That's about it from the STL, it's just babies and jobs. The countdown to life outside of school begins!

Baptism and such

So last Sunday Wes was baptized by his grandpa at St. Johns Lutheran Church. He slept through the whole thing! Here are some pictures of the event and some other fun ones. He is a sleepy baby, he already goes about 4 hours each night (which I think is pretty good for being 3 weeks old, but he is my first). However, the last couple of nights, after giving his mom and dad 4 hours of sleep, he likes to be up for an hour or so after he eats. Oh well, at least I got that 4 hours in.
