Latest Wesley antics

Yesterday was a hot day and we had Wesley in his baby pool after I got home from work.  He played in there for quite a while, then ran around the back yard in his swim trunks without a shirt.  This isn’t unusual after he gets out of the pool.  We grilled up some hamburgers and corn on the cob (who knew that Walmart had good corn on the cob?).  Wesley was in his highchair outside eating dinner.  These are pics of how good dinner was for him.

On his face: baked beans; on his chest: Mac & Cheese

I was commenting to Gwen how sexy Wesley looked.  I asked him if he was sexy and this was the result.

Wyoming State Fair fun

Today we went to Douglas for the Wyoming State Fair.  One of the things that Wesley did when he was in Indiana was attend the Marion County Fair.  Gwen took him on the carousel and he absolutely loved it.  So while at the Wyoming State Fair, we had to find a carousel.  Here are some pics of Wesley on the carousel.

Happy birthday Wesley

Today, my big boy turned 1.  It’s hard to believe that it’s been a year.  Here’s a picture from the hospital and here’s a picture from his party.

Leaving on a jet plane

This last Friday, my wife’s grandfather passed away in Florida.  Her family left Sunday for Orlando.  I’m currently sitting at Denver International Airport awaiting my flight to Orlando to join them.  I left Gillette this morning at 6:00 and will get in to Orlando at 1:03 pm local time.  Needless to say, I will be one tired boy when I get there. This will be a quick trip for me: arrive Monday, leave Wednesday.  No time for me to stay with the family, as I need to get back to work.

While waiting, I have been able to get a start on my sermon for Sunday.  I guess that’s a plus.

 

Thank you, spring snowstorm

Because of the latest spring snowstorm, my mother-in-law’s flight plans were greatly changed.  She was supposed to come in Friday to Gillette, but that did not happen.  She managed to get to Denver like she was supposed to.  Low-flying flights were canceled; she was stuck in Denver.  There was a possible flight to Billings, but it already left.  What was she going to do?  She had a couple of options:

  1. Find a return flight to Indy and schedule a flight at a later time
  2. Find an alternative flight to Gillette

She went with option 2.  She booked a flight to Rapid City so that meant we had to go and get here (we were originally going to go over Sunday after church and come back Monday).  We left in the afternoon and stayed the night to keep from coming back late, which would have thrown off Wesley’s bedtime routine.

All I gotta say is thank you spring storm; so much for enjoying  time in Rapid City!

Just a little update

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, including sermons.

Things have been busy.  We haven’t had a church secretary since May and a lot of that work has fallen on my shoulders.  Now that Advent is upon us, that means an extra service each week.  Fortunately, it’s straight out of the hymnal, no extra bulletin required.

I’ve been running on fumes lately.  I desperately need a vacation, one that will come in January.

Right now, Gwen is downstairs trying to get Wesley asleep, but he’s screaming like there’s no tomorrow. I guess I should head down there and help.

UPDATE: Gwen is on the couch trying to feed him yet another “bedtime” bottle to get him to bed.
