Dedication Day

Today was dedication day at the church.  I wasn’t too keen on taking Samuel to church this soon after his birth but because he needed to fit the family gown, I needed to do it.  The gown fit perfectly.  If I had waited a few more weeks, we would have been out of luck. Belle Zora and Joanna came up for the weekend so they could be a part of it as well.

I’ll spare you the reader of the chaos of the day – it would take me forever to write it all out anyway.  Just know, the day went well, but juggling 2 kids, a carseat, a gown, 2 visitors, diaper bags, etc was exhausting.  Especially when one has been up 2 hours in the middle of the night is working on a limited amount of sleep.

Here are the pictures from the weekend.

My man baby had his first bath on Saturday night in preparation for dedication.

I tried to get a few posed pictures of Samuel in the gown.

A better full shot of the gown.

This is us as we are presenting him before the Lord and the church.

This isn\'t the best but it is our first true family photo.

Joanna, Joel, Me, Samuel, Belle Zora, Samuel

I\'m so glad Joel caught this moment.  It was super sweet.  Ruthie was being incredibly gentle.

Ruthie started playing but it was still sweet.

    Samuel looks just like Ruthie! And, I love the picture where both of them are crying. The look on yours’ and Joels face is priceless. Not flustered in the least.
