Dedication and Celebration

We had an eventful weekend. We FINALLY had Owen's baby dedication. Jason and I tend to choose to do "Toddler" dedications. When I was pregnant with both boys, Jason took new jobs that relocated our family. Therefore, when each child was born only weeks after the move, we were overwhelmed with a new home, a new baby, a new church, etc. Then, time slips away and the boys are nearing their second birthdays. Oh, well. The important thing is, we have committed to God and our church family that we will strive to teach our boys to love and serve God. I guess it doesn't matter their age.

Anyway, we thoroughly enjoyed the service. It was sweet and special. Family came in for the special event, and once again, we were faced with how truly blessed we really are.




After the service we came back to the house to celebrate Corwin's 5th birthday with the family. He's a lucky kid! How many of us get TWO birthday cakes and TWO celebrations? He certainly loves the attention.

Our pastor gave Owen a gift for his special day. It was perfect because he had something to open along with Bubby. And, Pastor Greg (or his wife) did good! The boys LOVES trains. He loved this specific train gift so much, he wore out the batteries on the first day. That thing ran solid for about four hours!

Cousin Jack came to join the party. He was so fun! Jack and Owen are exactly one year and one day apart. It's amazing to see the difference a year makes.

We had an amazing weekend. It's always good to spend time with family. And this time was special because WE didn't have to travel afterwards! We could rest and relax after the crowd left. Ahhhh.... So good!
