Alex's Baby Dedication

Alex was dedicated today at church in a special "baby dedication service". There were seven families total and it was a beautiful time! Alex did really well and was even flirting with some older ladies behind us -- what a big cheese! :)

As you can tell, my parents are in town for the big day and we even had some local friends come as well. Thank you Mary & Laverne -- you are great friends!! :)

Emily was (and still is) convinced that the flower given to me was actually hers -- we had a hard time getting a picture of her without it being in front of her face. A future gardener, maybe?! :)

The pastor who led the service had someone close to each child come up and pray for them. They also had the dads come up and read a letter they had written to their child. I don't think there was a dry eye in the place!! :}
