Trip to St. Louis

Last weekend we went to St. Louis for a few days.  The motivation for the trip was Penny's graduation from the seminary with his Th.M. (Master of Theology).  Congrats Penny!

But it was also a great excuse to see friends and visit our old stomping grounds for a few days.

I brought my nice camera but didn't pull it out once - too many things going on and people to visit!  I did manage to get these two photos from phones.  We had a great visit - the kids are already asking when we can go back to St. Louis again!

T-ball

Cole started playing t-ball this spring.  He has loved it so far, and it's been fun to watch.

The games are about an hour long, and all the kids get to hit each inning (unless they actually get 3 outs!)

Cole has gotten several outs each game, and he's enjoyed having Dad helping out on the field.

What a cute t-ball player!

Seeing Friends

While we were on spring break we got to have dinner with the Baxters, some of our dear friends from our college ministry days.  Both Penny and Dave are now pastors at PCA churches, and Rachel and I have lots in common with being pastor wives, moms, and everything else that comes with those two roles.

It was so nice to catch up, brief though it was, and our kids had a good time hanging out with another.  There are 9 kids between our two families, but only the girls wanted to jump into the picture!
