Brooks's dedication

A couple Sundays ago my nephew, Brooks, got dedicated at church.

What a darling baby boy he is and how thankful we are for him! It was such a special day--J&J's church does a really neat presentation of each family and reads a life verse for the child that the parents have chosen. The best part was at the end when members of the congregation came and prayed for each family individually. Many tears were flowing as our hearts just overflowed! I just kept thinking back to the timeline of this little man. From the moment we knew J was pregnant, to seeing him wave "bye bye" to me the other day. I can't wait to watch him grow up!

Oh, little B man, you are the most adorable thing, and you have an aunt that loves you to pieces! May you always know the Lord and follow the plans He has for you. You are part of his perfect creation!

I asked Sean to take a picture of the kids and I with Mimi and Gramps. They are so dear to me, hold a special place in my heart, and I am especially thankful to get to share special family times like these with them.

After the service, we went over to Julia's parents for a delicious meal. Miss Carolyn never disappoints! :)
