Abigail's Dedication

We had Abigail's dedication almost two weeks ago.  It also happened to be Mother's Day which was really special.  Abigail did a great job and didn't fuss or cry.  Hannah isn't used to being in "big church", but she did well too.  She was mostly quiet, but very squirmy. =) Our preschool minister Mrs. Pennie was great to take Hannah up on stage before the service and show her what things were so she wouldn't be scared. 

 

We were also thankful my parents and sister could be there to celebrate with us.  One of the church members, Jack Kemp, is a photographer and he takes pictures of every family before their child's dedication.  The church then mails you a printed copy.  Jack was kind enough to take a photo of the WHOLE family as well and he even e-mailed us both photos too.  He's a really nice guy and does great work (http://kempportraits.com/). 

Since my mom was there she also got a few photos during the dedication as well.  =)

Hannah's Dedication

On March 14 we had a baby dedication for Hannah at church. It was a sweet time when the pastor prayed for her. You would never know it by looking at the pictures, but she was sick with her cold. She did a great job and didn't cry or sneeze while on stage. =) The BEAUTIFUL dress she's wearing was smocked by my mom. She started making it as soon as we found out we were having a girl.

My parents and sister skipped services at their home churches to be here for this special memory. Before the service started the church photographer took this photo.

This was taken by my mom during the service. It's hard to get good photos in the sanctuary because it's really dark.
