Precious Times

We had Gracie's baby dedication this past Sunday. Since we've moved and changed churches twice since she was born, it took a little while to have the dedication, but are so happy that we were able to do it at our new church since we love it so much. Gracie was such a sweet little thing during the ceremony. Our pastor, Bro. Bert, gave us a bouquet of tulips, and she smelled them the entire time. She is such a precious little girl, and we are so blessed to have her as our baby. We pray that God will use her in mighty ways.




The church gave Gracie a Bible during the dedication ceremony. It is just like the one Lindsay got at her dedicatio when she was a baby. Lindsay was beside herself that Gracie would have one just like hers! They were both so excited when Gracie opened hers.



Yesterday, I was able to go to a Mother's Day Tea at Lindsay's school. It was such a sweet time. All the kids in her class were so proud to be doing something special for their mommies. They met us at the door with tissue paper corsages to wear, and then led us to their room. They had made us gifts, and even helped bake Monkey Bread for us. This was the first time I had gone to something like this where Lindsay had done something just to honor her mommy. I can't believe what a big girl she is! I will always cherish the sweet memories from this day!
The two of us - notice my pink corsage!
