Ella's Baptism

Ella Mazzy Swanson was baptized at Hope Lutheran Church on Sunday, October 18th in Des Moines.  She did great! No tears!:)  Carson on the other hand, what a wild child! This was by far the largest church I have ever been in, it was like a religious mall. The service was held in a huge auditorium with 1,000 people. Then we went to the "chapel," that was larger than our Williamsburg Methodist (St. Paul's) church, for Ella's and 9-10 other children's baptism. Then we had lunch at PF Chang's. Carson LOVES lo mein! It was a great family day! :)

Dr. Mike started working in our office one day a week in October and now in November will be there every Tuesday and Wednesday.  We are at a busy point in the practice that we need another dentist and it is great timing to help with my approaching maternity leave. I am very excited to have a six-week, more guilt-free, family-focused maternity leave! 10 weeks left! Wow! (Baby Ticker on side bar is off by 5 days since due date is Jan. 16th and C-section date is Jan. 11th!)
