September stuff

So September has been good so far! It's hard to believe the summer is already over. It is still in the 70s here in Buffalo, so we're really thankful for that!

On September 9th we had a really special service for Restoration Church. We had our first covenant (membership) service for anyone who wanted to officially join the church. It was sort of like a mini worship service where Dan just said a few things about being a member of Restoration, Wes led in a few songs of worship, and then people got to come up and sign a covenant. It was a really neat service and it was really special for all of us to become an "official" family. We will now start doing this once every few months to give people the opportunity to commit to being a part of the church. Here are a few pictures from the night:

Of course we've also been excited about the start of Auburn football!! It's unfortunately hard for us to get to watch the games since we only have basic cable and we live in New York, but we did get to watch the last one online! We set up our computer in front of the couch and yelled and cheered and got to see the Tigers win! It was a lot of fun. Boston is getting in the Auburn spirit too.

And here's one more shot of our sweet boy snuggled on the couch just cause he's so darn cute:

And finally, here is a belly pic of me at 18 weeks (taken September 22):

I'm sure if you're reading this you've already heard, but apparently it's a girl!
