Two weekends ago we celebrated Mother's Day at church with Esther's dedication. I love our church and the baby dedication is something that is always special at church. Our pastor takes each baby and walks them down the aisle to show them off to the congregation. With each baby he holds them out and says, "Look, this is your church family." I see that is so true now that my family has been at the church for seven years. In the congregation meeting Esther were men who prayed over Jay when he was ordained as a deacon, women who rocked our babies as infants and soothed them in the nursery, teachers who teach our kids Bible truths and love on them each Sunday, and friends that we do life with each week. I saw families with teenage kids that have modeled Christian parenting, the families we took the Dave Ramsey class with that changed our future, and the sweet older lady who would come and hold our baby at Wednesday night dinner so we could eat. We have been so blessed by our church and I am so thankful for a wonderful church for our children to grow up in.
Esther's Aunt Peyton took these pictures during the dedication and we are so thankful she shared them with us!
Esther was so happy to have both sets of grandparents come to her dedication and Uncle Mark and Aunt Peyton. After the dedication, we went out to eat with our family. Trey and Charlotte love any extra time they get to play with Uncle Mark.
