This One's Dedicated to the Ones I Love...

Today was our baby dedication ceremony. The girls wore party dresses, little girly shoes, and bows in their hair. It was a big day!

The church itself is one of the oldest in town with a very unique history, the minister is a remarkable woman, and the ceremony was more earth-based than a traditional baptism.


Auntie Jamie and Uncle Pete were named the Godparents

After the church we went to the hall for the party. We ate and socialized with ALL sides of the family! We thank all who came for your love, generosity, and support, and sharing this memorable day with us! Thank you!

And now its only 7pm and both girls have been sound asleep for over an hour! They had a great time today seeing everyone, it was very exciting. So thank you for spending this day with us (and tiring out my little girls so that I can relax)!
