Wesley's Baptism May 16, 2010

Wesley couldn't wait to be baptized.  He said, "I love Jesus sooo much!"  Melts this moms heart.  It has been wonderful to see my children grow in their faith as they learn more and more about Jesus and to choose to express their faith with this outward expression.  Wesley had come to us at Easter time and say that he wanted to be baptized.  We spent some time talking to him about what it was about and then he also talked to our Pastor and had a class on baptism.  This was something he desired to do.  He loves Jesus - "SOOOO MUCH!"

Irina and Wesley on a Sunday Morning

Wesley and Irina ready for church and Sunday Morning Donuts.  Irina likes the sprinkley ones.  Wesley loves his donuts too he will run down and get one for himself and Irina making sure to get her one with sprinkles on it.  Church days are looked forward it is a weekly donut treat.  They both also enjoy their Children's Church classes.  Irina is wearing a dress fit for her name since it came from our former foreign exchange student's family in Russia.  

Wesley Just wants to tell you something!

Wesley loves being a big brother, he discovered that running the vacuum is quite fun, he loves doing everything very quickly he has a great imagination and since discovering Star Wars he has developed a pretty good Light Saber sound effect. Wesley loves everything about Christmas Jesus' birth, the decorations, the lights the music and the whole idea of Santa - this year was the first year he really jumped at seeing Santa - it was really cute. We had a bell much like the one from the movie Polar Express and one day he was ringing it saying "I believe, I believe!" Wesley's is always saying he wants to tell us something - and he loves to refer to himself in the third person. "Wesley wants, would like, can Wesley etc.. Tony keeps bringing up Bob Dole when he does this. Which Wesley just says - DAD! Wesley is growing into such a big boy but he still loves to cuddle and is very affectionate.

Halloween 2007

Wesley was Spider man for the second year in a row and Irina was Blue's Clues a homemade outfit that I made. She would have like to go as Spider Palm - but since that costume consists of a purple blanket over her head and is a challenge for her to see out of we decided she was Spider Palm dressed as Blue's Clues!
