Baptism and Hudson the Model!






Last Sunday, Hudson James was Baptised at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Sioux Falls. We had all of my family here for the weekend, and Mel's family joined us on Sunday for the Baptism/Picnic. Me, my dad, my bro-in-law Chad, and my brother Eric all went fishing on Saturday for most of the day, and the girls (Mel, my sister Melissa, her daughter Haylie, my mom, and Grandma Lois) went to the zoo in Sioux Falls.

The ceremony was after 11 am Mass, and was wonderful! He did so good! He didn't even cry when they poured water on him! Then we headed to Lewis Park and the Grandpas grilled hamburgers, and we opened presents, Haylie played on the playground, and Hudson slept! It was a wonderful day!

He has been quite a model lately...Since Mel works at Avera, and they are opening a new Women's Center, and she was pregnant, she was asked to have her picture taken by Candice Anne Photography to put up on the new unit. Well, she had the baby before her appointment, so they instead wanted to take Hudson's picture. So he had a photo shoot two weeks ago, and we got to view the pictures tonight. They were SO GOOD! He will for sure have a picture up in the Avera Women's Center they told us, so that's exciting!

THEN, he had his 1 month pictures taken in Rock Valley at Van Maanen's Portrait Studio on Wednesday, and boy are they great too! We're having a hard time choosing which ones to order, because they are all so good! He is quite photogenic!

Oh, and my new job is going great! We are SUPER busy, which is good, what better way to learn, than to get thrown into the fire! That's about it for now. I'll probably post when he turns 1 month old on the 26th, if not before!
